Should Technology Be Used In Schools?

Technology is everywhere, attached to us in almost every part of our daily lives. Places like café shops, home and as well at schools have technology. Nowadays, schools have technology devices like laptops or tablets that they use as a learning tool for students. Teachers and students use these devices in class for every subject. Text books have been replaced by the laptops or tablets, which are lend to each students in school and can take home. The devices have the apps for each of their subjects and students can read their text book in an e-book format. Additionally, students can do their homework on it, send messages to classmates or teacher, or play educational games that involves their current subjects. Although, these are convenient reasons to use devices in and after school, I must say I don’t agree. Technology devices should not be the primary way for students to learn in school. It has taken away the traditional passive learning pattern, some teacher are not helping or not teaching at all, and students are exposed to danger while walking towards school or home.

Although children spend about seven hours a day on tech devices, parents should not limit how much time children spend on tech devices. Children should not be limited because some children only comminicate through these devices, some children use teir devices for educational reason, and some children only know how to enternain themselves through their devices. If a child is limited on their devices, they will rush and mess up and there is no clue how nuts that child will go.

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

Schools all over the nation are looking to replace their textbooks with computers, but they are all wondering if it is a good idea.This has sparked controversy throughout the states because some schools want to take the plunge, however others are not so eager to let go of old teaching methods, maybe because they would have to rewrite their entire curriculum, which could take months to completely take over the old one. Yet still the sources say that because the amount of positive aspects of technology in schools outweighs the negative ones, new technology should be employed in an educational setting.

Did you know that about 73% of people want electronics at school and 27% of people don’t want electronics at school ,plus some schools have esports(2) clubs but I do get that they want us to be on a school appropriate websites/games but.... I think that kids should be able to use electronics in school because…

Students having access to technology at school will also help with their communication skills. When kids have access to technology in their schools there are opportunities to speak to kids from other countries. Techwalla states in an article that “ Interacting with children from other countries through computer-mediated communication, such as instant messages and emails, children can learn first hand about other cultures”

Some people believe that computers distract students from learning the lesson of the day. There are those who don’t care if they use computers or not. Others believe that we should be able to use computers in schools and improves learning the class subjects.

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.

Professors are using it to teach their students by creating powerpoints to present and students are using it to check their school portal and to get help with their school work. The use of technology is increasing, so it is important that we move forward with it. You will see it used almost everywhere you go. Using technology to communicate is one of the few ways you can benefit from it. For example, if you cannot make it somewhere in person, you have the option to communicate with professors, a boss or a friend to let them know you will not show. At school learning to use a computer is essential to your career because you will need to check grades, submit papers, and do projects. The people who believe technology is beneficial feel like it is up to the student to learn self control so they will not get

Technology today is further along and more complex than it has ever been. Technology has found its way in our everyday lives one way or another. From our cars becoming self-driving, to technology being widely used in the school system. However some people, believe that technology should be separated from the schools, saying it causes more harm than help. I, on the other hand, completely disagree. That could not be any further from the truth in all reality. Technology gives us much easier ways to learn, a streamlined way to communicate with teachers, and can provide more creative freedom than without it.

With the right restrictions placed, technology is a good way to teach and learn in a classroom setting.Technology now more than ever is expected to be used in some way shape or form when it comes to learning in any particular subject. Because of this, it is hard to ban or use little of any technological objects that contain any internet access. The world seems to accept the use of technology anywhere more and more. This perspective change influences the way technology is used for any reason.

Is technology used too much in schools today? Everywhere I look, I see students on their smartphones and teachers on their computers. I believe technology limits the ability for students to learn and for teachers to teach new material. Today, teachers teach less and students learn less. Technology has made our generation lazy and unreliable. Technology such as iPhones and computer has made our generation inactive and the use of technology needs to be reduced drastically.

Technology use is very common in most people’s everyday lives because of what society and innovation has brought this generation to become, when it comes to ways of communicating with others, all the way down to getting a job done. So of course these past few years school districts have decided to put technology to use in their classrooms by providing chromebooks for students and so on, but the real question is , is it worth it ? I do not believe so. Although pros and cons exist in all, I believe the classroom environment would be better off without the use of technology.

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.

In todays youth, studies have shown that kids would rather stay indoors than outdoors. Why? That is a very simple question with a very complex answer. Kids, today, are proven to be more involved with technology. Anything from computers and televisions too video games and phones. The kids, do not know enough about wildlife and what it has to offer. People have demonstrated that viewing humans and nature as one can help motivate people to not only preserve wildlife but also to perceive and define it (Cabin par. 34).
