Over the years technology has grown and its use in schools has also grown significantly. It has also been found that computer skills are very important for the real world, especially post pandemic. ]]> 2023-03-11 03:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512489250 sarapoleno https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512491069 Technology can cause students to have an increased attention span and lead to the possible risk of ADD, as well as leading to less social interaction with the kids as well which can have a lasting impact on children. My mom is a teacher and she has said that since the increase in technology she has found that the students have been less well behaved, and their attention span has also been reported as being shorter than ever before. ]]> 2023-03-11 03:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512491069 sarapoleno https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512493956 While there are some negative sides to technology in the classroom, there are also some positives to it. This website has listed some pros to having technology in the classroom and found that it can not only help kids be prepared for the future, but also help them connect with their class and other people regardless of the distance, and other things such as making it easier for all age groups to make academic achievements and degrees. ]]> 2023-03-11 03:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512493956 sarapoleno https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512495658 Some stats about technology and education to help get a better understanding of technology and its link to education. First off, it was found on this website that 50% of homes had computers and the other half did not, and "58% of school teachers say their opinion of technologies in education has improved since the start of the pandemic" (www. gitnux.com/technology). I think since the pandemic technology has been a major help for people, especially in education. The pandemic has made things harder and we are still feeling the effects of it, and technology is one way that things have been made easier . Technology has also been found to help improve students grades, most likely because they have more access to information on the internet. Overall I think technology has many benefits especially in relation to school and education.]]> 2023-03-11 04:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sarapoleno/83x9xnh4ajtfsbnv/wish/2512495658
