It’s Not Just The ABC’s Anymore!

Gone are the days when blackboards and chalk were the primary tools. Classrooms of today incorporate computer capability and Internet connectivity. Media-rich lessons combine video, Internet resources and hands-on experiences to maximize learning.

A Silver Oaks creative team attended the Florida Education Technology Conference (FETC) in March to experience trends in educational technology. We saw first-hand what the needs of tomorrow’s classrooms will look like. From software to hardware, podcasting to videocasting, today’s technologies and communication tools are expanding to keep up with today’s curriculum.

Teachers are insisting on educational software that takes advantage of impressive multimedia features to help them reach their goals. Interactive components that employ 3D graphics, colors and sounds encourage high-order thinking skills and will keep students motivated and engaged.

Advancements in technology have changed the role that technology plays in the school environment. Interactive whiteboards to improve math scores and electronic books to help under-developed readers are among the digital resources that have been introduced into the classroom.

As technology has changed, so has the role of the teacher. A technically competent classroom teacher is equally important for successful online learning. Today’s teachers are faced with developing strategies that create effective learning environments, and incorporating technology into those plans.

Silver Oaks keeps one step ahead of these changes by offering services that help revolutionize teaching and learning. We provide content, technologies and creativity for online learning centers to help students excel. We provide Web sites for every subject area and interactive lab. We develop instructional Flash and 3D animations for multiple disciplines, educational games, educational software products, videos, multimedia book formats along with quizzing and tracking programs.

Teachers are asking for software that is easily adaptable from one level to another, meeting the needs of the lowest and the highest performing students, and keeping track of the students’ work. Silver Oaks uses market-leading technology to develop multimedia solutions that are innovative, engaging and meet the needs of today’s instructors.

Let Silver Oaks develop a high-quality learning experience for your institution.
