The article explores a study conducted to see what teachers choose to do to conduct their classes when they have no restrictions and limits, specifically in terms of technology. The study showed that despite the freedom to choose the tool of choice, teachers stuck with power points, which are the most basic “old school” way of teaching a class. Savasci concludes after the study that teachers must increase their “ knowledge and skills about how to use those instructional technologies and help them develop positive attitudes toward information and communication technologies”. This illustrates Cahn and Cahn’s sub-claim that schools and their teachers should branch out to innovative technologies for their students. The intended audience seems to be the generation older than the millennials given the subject and context of the study is very factual, but can definitely be intended for millennials as well because the language used is not difficult relative to other academic studies conducted.…

I consider this to be of prime importance with such an emphasis on technology in all aspects of workplace and home life. Many pupils have a particularly good knowledge in computing as a result of technology being readily available in school and home. My knowledge in this area is weak, probably due to a lack of opportunity at school; I left school nearly 30 years ago and computers were a relatively new concept only just being introduced into schools. Consequently, most of my knowledge to date has been self- taught, although I have attended learning events in University and school whenever possible. This has created a feeling of apprehension whenever I am asked to be involved in any computer related learning.…
Additionally, many of them stated that it’s important to teach students basic foundations without technology, particularly the use of calculators. Nevertheless, one response did state that technology should be integrated “no earlier than grade five, as it is useless for children to have access to this technology,” (Bennett 1). Moreover, all thirty-seven participants agreed that computer literacy skills are necessary in today’s society. The general public can agree that with how fast technology is expanding, these skills are…
As teachers we have to equip our students to live in this kind of world. According to Sousa, “…children who spend their early years in front of screens will eventually have adult brains that are hardwired to process information at a frantic pace” (Sousa, 679). Technology has many positive aspects, but often gets a bad rap. According to Wedlock & Growe, “The problem is that technological innovations need to be transformed from tools of obsession into tools of education”…
“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.”-Bill Gates I think this quote means that kids rely on technology the most and not their teachers. Also that kids pay more attention to technology and not a school. America’s gift to my generation is technology.…

Setting up classroom rules and modeling the type of behavior you expect from your students must be demonstrated from you. Being an effective educator also is developed from being able to inspire and motivate your children to learn. In being an educator, you must never become too complacent in your career because with this world of cutting edge technology there is always room to grow and to enhance your teaching abilities. “Teachers with high perceptions of educational technology self-skills have high perceptions of classroom management skills. This result may be attributed to the experience in the use of educational technology” (Varank & Ilhan, 2013).…

Students in this generation are known as digital natives because they have grown up with technology within their lives and are able to manipulate it well (Coviello, 2013). Technology is a great additive within every classroom because it can be manipulated to include every student in the classroom as well as the teacher. Technology can be arranged to fit any lesson plan and can also improve engagement because it something that children use on the daily basis within their homes. Being able to manipulate technology in school helps to boost motivation within students who are used to manipulating technology outside of the classroom. The classroom arrangement that best fits this method is one that a future teacher can and will be using within their own classroom.…
Students’ education has changed over the years and the reason for it is technology. For hundreds of years teachers have used books, paper, and pencils to teach their students, but for the last few years technology has become part of everyone’s life in one way or another. Students and teachers are getting their technology through the classroom and it has impacted student learning. Technology has positively impacted student learning because they have more motivation, self-esteem, are completing complex tasks and help others more, while it has the negative impact of poor work and shorter attention span to tasks. One way is that technology has increased students’ motivation to learn and their self-esteem in what they learned.…
