A new interactive device was introduced in Web class. It is a very portable device which the product company allow the college to have a 1 month trial. If satisfied, units which each costs about RM 2 k will be bought and used during lessons.
With a sensor placed sensing the screening area, a sort of pen in a larger size will generate a kind of harmless wave when the pin at the end of the pen touches a surface. Functions of this device is basically drawing, high-lightning, acting as an eraser and so on.
Along the class, the device wasn't used as much as it could be. So I think that it is not needed till the extent that it should be bought in large amount and used in every class. However, with the device, the class would be more attractive and efficient. Lecturer would be able to high-light the important points easily without editing the slides which would take up time. Though not much time would be taken, but in the teaching process, even a second is important for both educator and learner.
Educational technology is slowing growing. It isn't just about being interactive but also being efficient. It wouldn't be easier for the educator and the learner without all these technologies. Students wouldn't be able to understand better with just a blackboard and chalk. More stimulation towards sense organs would increase the ability of ones understanding. Technology is indeed needed in any field.
