Technology In High School

Technology has opened many opportunities for students, but is it taking a toll on their education? Based on the two articles the “Avid Weekly: When it is and isn’t OK to be on your smartphone: the conclusive guide” by Caitlin Dewey and Is Technology Killing Our Friendship By Lauren Tarshis, technology can have a lasting effect that can either be positive or negative. Technology has let the world stay in touch with what’s happening around them, which has positively affected students and their surroundings. Causing disruptions though is something not to be happy about, because if technology advances in classrooms, students can easily be picked off into the wonders of technology. Although technology has helped students prosper, there are still

Evidence:Technology is like every other tool in the classroom it just brings forth many obstacles and causes many distractions.” However students with temptation of social media and texting in their hands , students may focus more on their social life instead of the lesson plan.” Also students become very lazy because their phones are giving them the information at their fingertips instead of actually learning through their teachers.( source # 2 & 4 ).

Without knowing how to use technology, students are at a disadvantage during college and in their future

Is technology hurting or helping in middle school classrooms? Over the past few years there has been a huge debate on technology helping vs. hurting in the classroom. I decided to experience for myself how it is used  and if it is making learning easier.

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 Text books have been replaced by the laptops or tablets, which are lend to each students in school and can take home.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.

Many schools across the United States uses technology in some form of way. Technology resources and technology plan are most of the time managed by a team of professional who work together for long periods of times. Majority of the time spent is used to develop technology plan that can range from 50 pages to 38 pages. The page length depends on how in depth the team goes to explain their Technology Plan. Theses plans can take up to a year or two to develop . With this being said currently my job is at Chesterfield County Public School.

In the 21st century, students must be adept in new literacies and technology. Teachers, educators, and parents have a responsibility to teach students the skills they need to become proficient in these areas. Therefore, educators should find engaging ways to incorporate the use of technology into the curriculum. Parents are also mentioned because outside of the classroom, they have an obligation and responsibility to interact and observe how technology is being used.

I think technology in the class is bad because we get off task and play games on the computers that we should not be doing. The technology does not let them get their grades or papers in and that is not good. They can also go look up things that they are not supposed to be getting on. The main thing is them getting bad grades because they are off task, and they need good grades to do great.

Hamblet argues that students should have assess and learn how to use technology during their time in high school because it could help them adapt faster to the transition from high school to college (56). The high schools that allow students to be hands on with technology give students to be more successful throughout college. In this program we attempt to put work sheets together in order encourage students to use technology. When looking for colleges that they want to attend we assist them by giving them techniques however we attempt to let them navigate the web by themselves so that they could get accustom to researching things without the assistance of anyone else. When students accomplish navigating the web and using technology this component benefits them as well as their family members through their transition to college.

The popularity of technology is growing larger and faster than ever. The problem is, we may never be able to catch up to it. The young adolescent adults seemed to be more interested in technology. Some experts claim that it does more harm than value. In terms of education, technology is becoming more and more popular and used among many school districts, although this can come with complications and allows students to ease threw assignments without having to fix their own problems. Also, technology can affect teenagers social abilities and let strangers have access to personal information.

In Burlington high school the student gives one on one technology to use for school while there are many benefits to it such as step into the real world, homework and research help, but there are many people that are concerned about the use of technology in high school as it can easily lead to distractions and drop in grades. Technology has the power to influence many people in the world but when it comes to school it can be a double-edged sword as there are many aspects of it that are really useful and harmful to the students. The purpose of technology in school is to teach kids new information. But one on one technology can be a distraction. It can also cause a student to be distracted during class when the teacher is teaching something new.

When I have access to technology I typically use it for school work, personal research, and connecting to others. In school I practice coding with programs such as Python and C++, I also use the internet for exploring different topics of computer science, like looking up new Linux commands, finding a new algorithm to try, or discovering a different operator to use. While at home I practice my coding work by finding new projects to try, like building a website, or making a binary conversion program. By practicing outside of school I improve problem solving skills and can discover faster and more efficient ways of programming. I also spend time editing and improving upon my cyber security checklists for Cyber Patriot. I look through checklists,

There are so many avenues to experience by using technology from research to presentation. For example, the use of classroom-to-classroom video chatting, such as a debate between two classes on a particular subject, can help students learn in a quicker manner and help them understand the topic at a higher degree. The use of iPads early on in elementary school and the introduction to computers that many children don’t receive would be beneficial later on in life. In today’s society, technology is used extensively in the workforce. Having the proper up-to-date technology can help the student better succeed and stay on top of the growing world. Utilization of technology will now prepare students for a better future. Schools should provide more ways to use technology in order to prepare students for a better
