Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students

Effects on Technology on Classrooms and Students

After reading this article,  it opened my eye on how the teacher and the students would need to change in the classroom to be more effective with the technology. Most teachers saw an increase in the students motivation. Students and Teachers are sometimes shocked at the level of the technology they are using, so it can help motivate students to do more in the classroom versus not getting involved in the classroom. When students use technology they are actively making choices to manipulate, obtain, generate, and display information to others.

I personally think that integrating technology into the schools would be a good idea. It allows the students to get a chance to teach each other learn and it could allow them to have a fun time learning rather than being bored in classes. Students will collaborate with their peers more in class when using technology because they will help each other learn ways to use it.
