Projector

The Projector is a new technology that displays the images to the audience by connecting it to the desktop computer and it reflects the images to the white board which is designed specially to do this. In this case this tool comes with three main parts: projector, computer and white board. It gives you less effort when you use a projector, because everything will be designed and prepared in technical aspect. No need for paper to waste or writing on board.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_projector.)

In our college, teachers usually use it to demonstrate the lesson to us. Teachers can get students' attention while showing a lesson which has colorful presentation. It is a benefit to both teachers and students especially if the teacher wants them to follow his or her steps while doing them in the class room for instance. Downloading a file needs students to follow the teacher's instructions to download fast.(http://www.ehow.com/about_5108016_types-audiovisual-aids-used-teaching.html. )
As a student, I have been asked to prepare a presentation to talk about my project, so after I submitted the report to my teacher, I give a brief speech about what I have done through the report using PowerPoint slides. Then I stand up in front of my class and start explaining using the projector. Not only presenting slides, it can show many things, for example websites, documents, movies etc.
Previously, teachers used to suffer from writing on the board to explain the lesson. Furthermore the lesson would be only information without any images. More effort in writing led the teacher to miss some information and students as well if the teacher erases it to continue with his or her lesson.(http://www.ica-sae.org/trainer/english/p17.htm. )
In addition, our college has many events such as National Day.In this day we might have guests to talk about this historical day. This guest wants support for his or her speech with pictures, information, and a short movie about the United Arab Emirates, so it is very important to provide a projector for this occasion.
Moreover, His Highness Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, visited our college and to welcome him with Mr. Al Kamali the president of our college welcomed them with a nice speech beside the volunteer students who will stand and give him more clear idea about special projects or topics for example poems.(http://www.jstor.org/pss/807975.)
Also, we could use this tool to connect it to a big screen to display a movie or football match like what is happening in some cafés. In this case the projector helps to gather people in one place. There is more advantage in using a projector when lecturing or talking about some important issue like car accidents in the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, in business files, we can show the latest and newest products on a big screen so that all customers see and notice.(http://thejournal.com/articles/2002/06/01/multimedia-projectors-a-key-component-in-the-classroom-of-the-future.aspx. )

Finally, I think this technology is very helpful and has many advantages such as spending less time and effort in the classroom, getting the attention of people and raising public awareness. I recommend that everyone should be able to use it at home,in the college or at work.

Technology

50 years ago study and teaching was very hard because it was without any technology. People in the past were using different and simple items. Nowadays the technology comes from other countries and makes the teaching much easier than before. Technology has made a lot of new things and it helps all the people in the world.
In today's world, technology is constantly changing to an improvement in hospital machinery. Technology lets people improve the way they live so that they can preserve their own personal energy and focus on the really important factors in life. Some people focus their energy on making new innovations to improve transportation and the health of people that may save lives. Technology is significant in everyone's life because it rapidly changes what is in the market. But, some new innovations of technology are ridiculous because they serve no purpose in helping mankind.

Technology is becoming more and more dominant in our society. Everyday upgrades are being made and new innovations are being discovered. Technology is all around us whether we want it to be or not. It is the vehicles we drive; it can be found in our homes and other places. Every place we look there is some type of technology. I believe technology has a major impact on our college systems and is still impacting it today. There are those who do not agree, though, that technology has impacted our colleges. In fact the impact of technology on education has very big influence to made changes in the classroom.

For example wireless technology has become the wave of the future. Even in the class room we use the wireless technology to get access to the Internet in the laptop to find information that we need in the class. without wireless technology we will find a lot of difficulties to access the internet. Students are using wireless everywhere in the college also when you attend to Higher Colleges Of Technology you have to get a laptop so in this case you are using wireless technology in addition to other technologies.
