Taking Away Children's Chromebooks

Schools should stop the Chromebook program. There are many negative effects in the classroom. Chromebooks are expensive,they can be a distraction,and they can stop working at any given moment. Chromebooks can be expensive and with hundreds of students needing them the cost will be high.Replacing Chromebooks will also have an impact on the county's money. They can be very flimsy and easy to break easily. Some students even drop them just for the purpose of getting a new one.

Another important benefit of implementing technology in the classroom is it can help teachers create personalize instruction and make it easier to provide accommodations. It can be very difficult and time consuming to differentiate instruction for a classroom of students. The use of technology can make this a much more workable task. By using technology, the teacher can differentiate instruction with just a few swipes per student. It also gives the teacher more options to work with depending on student need. For example, if a student has trouble writing, they can use an iPad with voice adaptive software to answer questions or complete assignments. This eliminates the stress they may feel being forced to write during an assignment or test situation.

Students with chromebooks would be better because it would be easier to collaborate with friends in group projects so they can be done quicker. With students getting work done faster more things could be taught throughout the year. It would be beneficial because grades would be improved. Teachers can help students who are struggling in class by sending them links to things that could help them improve their grades. Chromebooks would be a more efficient way to do things in a classroom with ways teachers could make lessons more interactive with the

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

What were educators thinking when they decided to enforce Chromebooks into the school’s education system? They were thinking about the connection between student and teacher, but they forgot to mention other important details. If Chromebooks are introduced into the school’s system, it would end up being a lot more complicated and a hassle than most would think. Chromebooks should not be introduced to the school’s system due to poor policy in privacy, due to WiFi connectivity problems, and due to conflicts in affordability.

This divide between student and teacher experience and comfort with technology seems to have been exacerbated with the one-to-one implementation of chromebooks at City Middle School. Although all students were given a chromebook for classroom usage in January of 2016, teachers were given little adequate prior training regarding pedagogical implementation strategies. Lack of teacher training, compounded with administrative expectation that the devices must be utilized in the classrooms, has resulted in issues arising regarding the effective integration of the chromebooks for teaching and learning. The devices seem to be used, in many cases, as a substitution for traditional pencil, paper, or research tools, resulting in some incidences of low engagement and misuse of the devices. To understand how chromebooks can be better utilized in teaching and learning to promote student engagement in the middle school environment, various methods of implementation strategies, pedagogical methods and teacher beliefs about learning and technology were studied at City Middle School. Quality research specifically reviewing the effects of implementing

Technology helps students who have reading troubles when it comes to reading standard books. There are also many benefits of digital enhancement such as changing colors and fonts. Entrenching learning supports in content helps comprehension and building background examples; definitions, summaries, and key questions can be directly embedded to help with guide reading. Technology allows students to manipulate the text by copy and pasting.

Chromebooks are a new technology that have been implemented into Green High Schools education system. Are they better for the students or the teachers? Do they truly help the education system? Have they made it easier for students to cheat? Have they created lazy teachers? Should teachers be able to change due dates change overnight? There are simply so many questions about the Chromebooks. Faculty seem to love them and on the other hand many students seem to hate them. As a student I have grown to hate these miniature trash bins for many reasons. When the wifi goes out absolutely nothing can be done. The pieces of technology are prone to break quite easily. Furthermore it has created a crutch for many faculty at Green High School. Chromebooks truly have created a hassle for our young adults at GHS.

It’s the end of school and you know what that means. It means the school board is going to have sixth through eighth graders white down if we should or shouldn’t have chrome books and why. I think that all Chesterfield schools should continue to have chromebooks. We should have chromebooks because they’re helpful,there is important homework sites and I personally work faster when I type instead of write.

This makes note taking easier”(Pros and Cons). With faster note taking and the ability to do assignments faster, a lot of time in class could be saved which allows for more information to be taught. “When notes and assignments are saved to a computer, there’s less likelihood of them getting lost, especially if important files are routinely backed up”(Pros and Cons). Notes and assignments are harder to lose if typed and saved on a computer compared to writing on a piece of paper. This makes sure you are able to study, possibly leading to higher grades.

Chromebooks have a lot of reasons why we shouldn’t have them. Three reasons I’m going to give you one is that when you stare at it too long your eyes start to burn and hurt and you also get tired from staring or looking at the screen to long. You might fall asleep in class because you stare at it to long that it starts to make you sleepy in class.

Preparedness is very important, ecspacially at school. Chromebooks can help a child be more prepared because it keeps all of their homework and assignments in place. Children will also be using chromebooks a lot, so then they can't forget about their homework. It is also, pretty close to impossible to lose your homework on a computer. Organization is a big part of preparedness. It is very easy to sort out your work on a chromebook. Websites that are used more frequently can be made easy access. ANything you will ever need can usually be found on a chromebook. Talking about things you need. With having a chromebook you barely need anything for class. For example, you might need a binder, a book, a pen/pencil, and your chromebook.

The instant access to information, offers millions of unknown documents with all sorts of information, therefore, making the student much more intelligent using this tool called the internet. For instance, a student in modern time, most of the time, doesn't need to face the common struggle of flipping pages through an old and reused textbook, for all he or she must do is type a question on any browser that is in favor such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo, and receive countless of files that provide information on the subject being asked for. The Internet is portrayed as a library in modern time, so it provides students with access to nearly any piece of information imaginable. This is an advantage in the classroom as it can enhance and differentiate the information on any educational subject. Although a downside is that sometimes students can come across biased or misleading information online, it is still beneficial in the way of obtaining information on the subject or topic being used. The mobile phone, is replacing old methods like acquiring books from the libraries because in modern day students can use library applications on their mobile phones to access books in the form of electronic books, so they can have some sort of reach for these books at any time which saves time and assists them to read at any time, anywhere. Unlike in the past when learning was limited to a classroom, students and teachers could only

Electronic textbooks are more portable and convenient as they can be accessed by a tablet, downloaded onto a computer or accessed via the internet. The technological benefits available on an electronic textbook are endless. The audio and video capabilities will liven up learning and change the way students understand and retain the material. The emergence of three-dimensional technology may also play a role in the near future. In addition, digital textbooks are much more user friendly. Studying for tests will be more efficient as highlighted notes can be easily transferred into electronic note cards for memorization. The main downside to electronic textbooks is that students will have to purchase a reading device, tablet, laptop or smartphone in order to view digital textbooks away from home or on the go. Most college students have already made this investment prior to starting college.

Education has found its way into the loop of technology. Teachers are using ipads and laptops during class time to help conduct experiments, or share a presentation. This is allowing the students to gain instant access to the information they are seeking. Students also receive the opportunity to complete their homework online and print off their assignments instead of just using paper and pencil. Another pro for Technology in Education, there are countless sources out there which help enhance learning. In one research conducted, they compared the performance of teaching kids how to read a clock. One group was coached by an online app, another was shown by a toy clock, and the last group was trained by a drawing example. The results revealed that the children that were taught by the toy and app exceeded the paper drawing group (Galetzka).
