How technology affect the educations of the kids today? Are we going forward ou backwards with kids having technology inside the classroom.
: New things always come with one question: is that will work? And for so many reason we always find a good points and bad points about everything. So my question is :
How technology affect the educations of the kids today? Are we going forward ou backwards with kids having technology inside the classroom.

I believe technology has definitely improved the potential for increased learning in the classroom. Items can be developed in advance, such as power point presentations, review games, interactive activities that utilize technology, and the ability to access online items while in the classroom. All of these things make it easier for the visual and audio learner in the classroom setting because they can see the items on a smart board/white board and hear the teacher discuss various things.

Overall, I think having technology in the classroom is moving us forward. Today the majority of jobs out there require use of some type of technology. Also, technology can help make many tasks so much simpler.

I feel that overall having technology more readily available for us in the classroom is really benefiting students. Most careers or very technologically driven, and many colleges rely heavily on the use of technology so when we have the use of new technology available to our students it gives them a leg up on their competition that is out there whether it is an in class competition or they are competing for a job.

Technology is great thing for education IF it is used correctly. If teachers take the time to apply technology in meaningful ways that will help students learn the material presented to them, it is a great thing. If technology is used in a classroom without a specific purpose, it can end up being just another distraction.

I think overall technology has had a positive effect on education today. Students are able to do and see things that we would have never thought of doing. The most technology I had in grade school was a computer lab and occasionally a TV. Kids now can access so many great recourses with ought having to go very far out of their way. So I think overall technology is a great thing for kids education.

You bring up an interesting point! Yes, we do always consider both sides of an argument, but that is a crucial part of making an educated decision. Yes, I think that there are advantages and disadvantages to having so much technology in our classrooms and in society today, however I think that using this technology in the education system is the only way to go. Technology is going to go anywhere, so to be contributing members of society, our students need to have a good understanding of how to properly and safely use this technology.

I think technology is the classroom is helping students overall. While I agree that we do not need to be solely reliant on technology it has helped up open up new avenues of learning for certain students. I feel that overall education has improved because of technology and it is only going to continue increasing in the future.

In my opinion, technology in the classrooms will better prepare our students for the workforce. Technology will only continue to advance and if we don't get our children started at an early age, they will have a more difficult time catching up with the advancements. This is will eventually lead to helping them get better jobs.

I think that adding more technology into the class room will definitely push education forward as we move forward. It allows for students to become better acclimated to using tools that will help them be successful in the future, as well as allows for teacher to be more creative with their assignments. just like what Jodi said at the end of her post. The better prepared or young people are to use the tools that they will use when they enter into the workforce, the better their chance is of landing better jobs that require the use of these tools.

Having technology in the classroom is yet another way to teach students. There are many teaching techniques, and many learning styles, and having the ability to present information through technology will enable more students to grasp the material than through traditional methods.

Technology in the classroom is moving us forward. Just the invention of the multitude of technologies has proven that we've moved forward, and now we can educate our students using the technologies that were developed before them, and they will one day be able to constantly improve the technologies we use. It shouldn't be the only medium students use to learn, but it is definitely evident that we're moving forward because of technology.
