Technology is an innovative and prominent aspect of today 's modern society evident through the extensive amounts of time that people are seen distracted with their heads down looking at the phone screen. Although the increase of technology use among the modern generation of students is looked at as a nuisance in student learning advancement, this does not have to be the case. Technology may be increasing significantly in the lives of future generations of students, but it is our job to prepare and create effective users of this new technology for their own benefit. Why wouldn 't we take advantage of the technology that will so significantly affect and change the lives of thousands of students? JoAnne Buiteneg, worker in the Everett School

Implementing this one to one technology program into classrooms will significantly decrease the wealth inequality gap between students living within the district. Students who are not able to access technology are experiencing a dramatic disadvantage in the classroom. There are more than “90 percent [of students who] say [the] internet has a major impact on their ability to access content, resources and materials for teaching, and nearly 60 percent say it has a major impact on their interactions with students” (Deruy). This data collected from a study broadcasted on ABC.new by Emily Deruy provides accurate information on the high number of students and how they are effected by not having access to technology. The 90% of students who have little or no access to technology fall behind students who are experiencing technological advances. These unfortunately disadvantaged students suffer from lack of exposure to the …show more content…
One on one technology will increase student achievements through real time feedback on progress and performance. Educators, subject matter experts and technological tools provide immediate responses to user input. This innovation will serve as an effective tool on increasing the academic achievements of students especially in providing an effective learning technique for individualized students. According to the technological and student learning results, “technology serves as a very successful and efficient tutor for students learning basic reading and math skills. It can individualize instruction and provide instant feedback, which motivates students to continue. Because students are able to control the pace at which they proceed through their exercises, they are neither held back nor left behind by their peers” (“Teacher and Student Perceptions of E-learning in EF”). This key aspect of technology based learning will change the way students will be able to learn for their own benefit. Having one teacher trying to teach 30 students who all have individual learning techniques and learning paces can be extremely difficult and many students can fall behind. One on one computing will fix this issue. This has proven to be an effective strategy and individualized work has helped students to thrive. We need this in our own schools. Damian Bebell and
