Technology Being Used In Classrooms

Decent Essays
How do you feel about technology being used in classrooms worldwide? Well if you ask me, I believe we should take it a step further and incorporate it even more it classrooms. Technology can aid us multiple ways by opening up more views on education. Learning doesn’t have to be what some people call “boring” but maybe if technology can get thrown into the picture, it can grab the students AND teachers attention.
Not only that but textbooks is slowly but quickly becoming old. While on the other hand so much more can be done with technology. Over the years, technology has became more and more advanced and textbooks are becoming more and more outdated. Though, technology can’t always be depended on textbooks can still be useful in many ways.

    The topics of education and technology have always been a center of debate all over the world. These might seem like two separate topics, but the more technology evolves and advances, the more of an impact it has on education, or to be precise the schooling system. Also, the more effect technology has on our education system and on our everyday lives, the more there’ll be critics that will bash the system we have today and try to bring out every negative impact it has on us. I am very opposed to those types of people such as Ken Robinson and his talk “Changing Education Paradigms,” Neil Postman and his “Of Luddites, Learning, and Life,” and Annie Lowrey’s “The Gap between schooling and education.” I think technology has had mostly positive…

    Based on my personal experience with the public education system, I would say that the role of technology should stay about where it is currently at. I personally have never found that technology really took up a large portion of the classroom. Other than the use of the smart boards to display notes and show the occasional video, I have never found that the amount of technology was super over whelming in school. However, that is not to say that we need to see more technology integrated into the public education system. While there may be enough technology provided by the school, the problem comes into play when you realize that most students have cell phones that they use constantly throughout the school day.…
