1. Does Multimedia Truly Enhance Learning?
- We believe Innovative and new technology will help teaching (for teachers) and learning (for learners). Here is a research paper talking about the relation between multimedia and learning. Swisher (2007) suggests that various types of technologies enhance learning with dual coding theory and cognitive load theory. This article might be helpful for teachers!

2. Large touch screen panel in a classroom
- Normally teachers have to use input devices such as a mouse or keyboard. When a teacher use a mouse or keyboard, they have NO hands for caring students! However if we use a touch screen panel, our hands are free! In Goodwill classroom in WA, they're using this technology!

3. Using a computer as a notebook.
- Here is news about high tech class room using a tablet computer. (from Science Daily)
This news shows that innovative computing system such as touch panel enhance the performance of learning (e.g. students do not need to take a note in the classroom) Moreover, teachers can try new style of teaching with high technology!

4. Keeping high-tech out of classroom?
- As I suggested last time, the effect of learning would be much stronger when learners (students) keep using the computing device which they use in the class room. This article support my suggestion

5. How teachers handle technology in a classroom now?
Melissa Johnston, a school teacher, explained how her classroom is going with technology. Her class is going well and students like it. From this article, using new technology lead more performance on both teaching and learning. However, we (teachers and researchers) need to keeping developing making better education settings with high technology!
