Technology in School

Technology has changed our lives in so many ways. It has brought us many positive, as well as negative feedback. Technology in school can help us. If we learn how to use our resources it can help us reach out to all of our students and help them learn. Believe it or not we use it everyday in school and we are surrounded of technology. The positives of technology is much more than just using it to entertain our hobbies. Without it we would have much of the things that we have today. We use smart boards, computers, internet and projectors everyday for our learning purposes.  We don't want to eliminate our teachers, we want to help our students learn and retain our material we teach them.  We gather new information every year.
 In the Article, "K-12 Technology Benefits and Drawbacks" It stated that "The truth is that the face of K-12 education is in a constant state of change. Educators that have been in the field for several decades may notice that the speed at which changes in methodology and student population are taking place is on a high-speed course compared to the past. Many factors play into this but none as strongly as technological advancements. The Internet, wireless devices and improvements in communication all heighten the immediacy for information both within and without the classroom." Students today are lucky to have all the new resources that they have. Back then everything was all limited to information that is located in the book. Students who have phone have easy access to new resources right in their pockets. Our phone can do almost the same things that our computer can do, We can be at work, the park, a concert and have a app or internet access to get the information that we may need. There us basically an app for everything that you could think of.  If we use our resources to our advantages we can encourage our students to be more involved with school.
