Technology in Goldstein
Goldstein High school puts a great emphasis on technology in the classroom. Computer labs are present on every floor, (all of which are equipped with iMacs) and there is at least one computer in every classroom (typically a Dell, running windows). All classrooms in Goldstein are also equipped with SMART Board interactive whiteboards. This allows classes to access almost all of the information available on the Internet and help students visualize complex concepts. Teachers in Goldstein use the school's website to post homework, but also use other websites such as blogs for posting homework and other assignments. LMG also offers to all students the opportunity to join a tech squad in order to assist the school's computer technician in maintaining school computers.

Famous quotes containing the words technology in and/or technology:
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
