Technology in the classroom:Technology is a huge benefit to the classroom, it’s one more added resource that should be utilized. You can teach the materiel and have immediate back up, sometimes it may not click with a student until they watch a video or see a picture. It’s the visual that all kids need to make the connection.

Of course using technology is going to boost student motivation in the classroom. Students are so used to having their phones or ipads handy, that they would be almost bored without technology.
Technology can also enhance the material being taught. There are so many sites out there for discussion boards, quizzes and so many other things to help students learn the information that is being taught.

59% of students would like to use their own mobile device to enhance learning. While only 1 out of 5 have used an app to organize their coursework.

Technology plays a vital part in our society. As the amount of technology used increases steadily, the need for it to be incorporated in the classroom becomes larger. To accommodate for this rapid change, the education system must transmute. Change is imperative to success.

Of course technology is a tool. If it were the outcome, we would have classrooms where students were plugged in, rendering us teachers, completely useless. Just as we have to teach our students to read to learn, after they have learned to read, we will have to teach our students  to use the amazing tools available to them after they have mastered how to point and click or swipe left to right. Luckily most of them have that down before they enter our classrooms.

Technology plays such an imperative role in engaging our students in today's society. As our technology has grown, our students have adapted to using technology for so many reasons. In school, it is beneficial to use technology when used correctly and students need help to determine how to guide them in identifying appropriate resources.

While the students may have an upper hand on the uses of technology and the general knowledge of social media to interact with others, it is not a first person conversation that they are having and this is causing their generation to begin to have one-on-one problems when asked to communicate. The use should be limited and restricted or this will just become a bigger problem in the future!!

We are in an age where technology is a tool towards knowledge but we must also understand that there are different ways to get the information across also.

Even though we are now in the 21st century and everyone knows how important technology is in our every growing and every changing world today, many times we are still stuck in 20th century teaching. And not just from the "older" teachers but from the districts and even the state who are continuously telling all educators, administrators and teachers, to include technology in their lessons, do not provide the technology or atmosphere where it can be used. The main culprit in most cases is the budget, but sometimes I think the ones who are pushing for the change at the state and district highest levels do not themselves truly understand what it means.

Taking a quick glance thru what others have said, I can see that I am not the only one who quickly focused in on this. In today's world, technology is a must and it is something we as educators must prepare our students for, even though it seems at times the students are way ahead of the teachers on this learning curve. However important technology is though, it is still just a tool to help the learning process, not replace it.

This is a new way of looking at the use of technology in the classroom. So many of us us it as a end of unit means of making a final product.
