As a group we have chosen this website, because the representation signifies the interactions with students as well as their teacher. We are in the 21st-century the usage of technology happens to be the alternative and most valuable assets among the younger generations of today. Teachers communication as well as interactions shows improvement toward learning skills have given the world of education a positive feedback. Therefore, having to instill such technical usage like the (Mimio) boards into schools helps with assignments that is given through teacher and students contact. This particular board is used to draw, graph, problem solving, its display over a big screen and viewed as if you are watching a movie whereas students are engaged and able to do assignments along with the teacher. I realize that most children are visual learners and this example of the (Mimio) white board helps to build their cognitive learning skills in which establishes the foundation within technology education. Nonetheless, times have changed and therefore technology have given a better perspective by inventing something that will help students worldwide.
