This paper is to inform readers if technology should play an important role in schools or if schools should not rely on technology as much as they do right now. This article will have examples of positive technology uses and concerning technology usage. Louise Lankau (2015), a school librarian, suggests that schools libraries have enough desktop computers to serve two different classes in the library at a time.

By using tablets, teachers are able to engage students to play learning games in hopes to have active
