Computer Distracting Research

First of all, technology provides you with effective ways of learning during school. A variety of people learn better by just sitting in class listening to a lecture or simply watching a PowerPoint. But then on the other hand, some people learn better visualizing what they are learning. With technology, you would be provided with this opportunity to get visual views of what you are learning. You could find a video over the topic you are discussing in class, maybe look at some pictures or animations, and perhaps you can even look for an

Kardaras claims that technology cannot be used in schools, however I recommend that technology should be used in schools because it helps students keep in good health, save money and get good grades. To begin with, I think computers are easy to carry. Specifically, textbooks are too heavy for students to carry resulting a lot of students get shoulder disease. If they have e-books in computers, they would carry a computer to school without a lot of textbooks. In addition, e-books are cheaper than paper books. If a student has e-books, each semester he could save more than 400 dollars. That would ease students’ financial pressures. Furthermore, students can restudy lectures again and again because all lectures are on the internet. They can arrange

You walk into most public-school classrooms and you see laptops, I pads, Desktops and sometimes smart boards. These are used as learning tools. When using these tools, the kids really are learning with a hands-on approach. For some kids, it’s a helpful tool for other kids it’s a distraction. The students can use technology for school work at home and it also helps with the Turing in process with teachers. I think that technology can be useful in a classroom setting but should not replace the classroom

Technology in the classroom is becoming more and more official and used because it is the source that teacher and students use the most. Electronic devices are replacing our textbooks, and students can investigate just about anything that teachers want to on our smartphones or any electronic devices. People are now very familiar with social media, and the way people use technology has completely transformed students’ lives and teachers. There are so many ways to learn with technology. Technology in the classroom should have a positive effect on students because it makes education better and easier for students learning.

Electronics are believed to interfere with learning. Jose Antonio Bowen states in his article, “NO: Classrooms Must Be a Place of Focus and Mental Stillness,” that instead of improving education, technology “doesn’t solve the problem, it only brings it into the classroom.” However, these problems could be prevented if students were given restrictions while still having the ability to find different and unique ways to boost their knowledge. In “YES: New Tools Let Students Learn More, and More Deeply,” Lisa Nielsen explains that just because they have access to electronic devices does not necessarily mean that they are doing something other than texting or cheating, and that teachers are monitoring their students at the best of their ability.

Though there are some positive effects, the adverse impact of technology on education has been extraordinary. The technology community has worked hard to bring useful technology into our classrooms, all with good intentions to broaden our knowledge. With these good intentions also came about unwanted side effects such as distraction and disruption in the classroom. I can clearly remember many of my teachers yelling at us to put our cell phones, iPods, and iTouch phones away especially during lecture and exams. The yelling was not without just cause, students cheated with their devices along with updating their Facebook pages during class too.

The pro's outweighs the con's in this argument. While technology could distract students, it can just as easily hold their attention. As discussed when moving from a technological environment to a non technological one an adjustment period is necessary. Using technology in schools has a positive effect on the environment. Schools who use more technology in turn use less paper. Students with disabilities are no longer left behind with assistive technology. When these programs are in use students with disabilities have a better possibility to succeed. Students are being prepared for the future by becoming familiar with technology. Last but not least technology makes learning fun. Technology is always going to be around why shouldn't schools take advantage of all the

Controversy Analysis on the Effects of Increased Technology In Elementary Classrooms The rise in computer and laptop use has been evident in schools and classrooms across the US, but learning with the assistance of technology is a recent controversy that is being investigated on to comprehend whether or not it is beneficial or detrimental for elementary students. Technology has gained popularity in classrooms and school districts because of its promise to provide low cost education; and the potential to allow students to participate more easily, to learn more effectively, and to enjoy learning more than with textbooks. Other experts argue that laptop integration in classrooms is a distraction, and can make it more difficult for students to

Computers or tablets are a big help to make sure students can learn at their own pace and to figure out which style of learner they are. Students in schools today are issued computers like books were issued

David Warlick once said,“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” But is that true? Technology is not only costly, but

The first reason I oppose technology is because schools could perform better without technology. While some may say that cell phones and computers make better students, that’s not exactly true because the author of “A Silicon Valley School Doesn’t compute” states “94 percent of students graduating from Waldorf High schools in the United States between 1994 and 2004.” This shows that this is a school

Attributes of Digital Citizenship and Research Fluency There are many positives that come with the use of technology. For example, students may travel the world in a class period. They can view different important documents through history or visit a museums for different parts of the world. These are things that if not for technology many would not ever be able to experience in their lifetimes. So technology is good for the exposure that student can experience within a classroom. It also allows students to become active learners by going online and searching topics that being taught. This makes them responsible for their learning.

The school should keep laptop computers because they allow students to contact peers or teachers when needed. If students are working on a group project, computers make it easy to work on the project without needing to meet up. Computers also make it possible

The final result of using digital devices during school hours is not a good one. Students can cheat more easily, which means that they are not preparing for the future and society.

Computers and technological devices have been heavily used in millions of elementary classrooms throughout the world. While many people believe this is a beneficial thing some think it is taking over the traditional ways of learning and damaging their social interaction. All the colors and sounds on the screen attract children and make them think that what they are learning is fun and enjoyable. Using computers in the classroom is very beneficial, but it should not be replacing traditional ways of education. As Elizabeth Bohnhorst, author of Floppy Disk Fallacies, stated “…computers are being used more and more frequently as a substitute for books, blackboards, and in some cases, the teachers themselves (251-252)”. Students will soon not have the need to bring pencils, paper, and even a backpack to class because everybody will be using computers as a means of learning. Moreover, computers should be used only as a tool to assist learners and make certain tasks accomplishable more efficiently while also keeping traditional ways of learning.
