From the 4
weeks that I have been in the Tech Support class, I have been making runs around the
school to pick up old windows XP machines. I
would like to talk about the advantages of the windows 7 operating system in
our school computers!
Teachers have really had a problem
with the windows XP operating systems because they are so outdated that they
cannot ever keep up with the programs the teachers are using! The windows 7 operating
systems is what the school should be using because of how easy the interface is
and how up to date it really is! Windows 7 or windows 8 will easily be able to
keep up and run at a fast pace with what the teachers need to do for everyday
life in their classroom to teach their kids!
To primary grade teachers, a windows 7
or 8 based operating system will help them because the windows XP operating
system restricts you from using the latest version of Internet Explorer,
Firefox or Google Chrome. Windows XP will not allow some of the
features on websites that lower grade teachers require to run effectively in their
classroom! Some of these features are needed by younger kids because the
interactives and animations help them learn concepts on these websites. Using windows 7 or 8 has tons of advantages over windows XP
because it is just up to date and it can keep up with all the new programs and
technologies that we are bringing into the school to help the learning
experiences of all ages of students. Last April, Microsoft stopped supporting
Windows XP and releasing updates for it.
Screenshots are also a part of windows 7 or 8 and if teachers
or students need website that has some questions for homework and they don’t
have wifi at home than they can simply pull up the screenshot and have all of
the problems that they need to get their work done!
