The Effects of Computer Technology to Student's Lifestyle and Study Habits”.

In this day and age, it appears students and technology go hand in hand. Despite being a controversial conversation, teachers and other andminstators are searching tonintergrate computers and othe technological devices into schools. Nevertheless, in order to efficently develop students into successful thinkers, technology will only be practical if used to enhance learning, not control leaning.

But in these days people are spending time in talking on the phone, chatting with their friends, or playing video games. Technology consumes more time than we think; once we get in to it, it going to take at least an hour to get rid of it. Many researchers indicate that American children spend an average of eight hours a day with media, including television, computer, and video games (Source 1). Opponents will say that student can score higher percentile when using computer-based instruction than student who received no computer (Source 2). It is true that student will score higher if they use computer, but the time that they spend with computer still matter. I don’t mean that computer-based instruction is bad but the time they spend on it is the problem. Students should not be allow to use computer more than 2-3

Mann, who is professor of Western University, wrote an article Let’s Unplug the Digital Classroom, said that a variety of technology machinery should be avoided from in our classroom because those digital technologies disturb the our traditional learning skills (Mann, 2012). He described new environment of education in present day that more and more people, who are both professors and students, do communicate through the modern technologies rather than before. However, he taught that we must stop of utilizing the digital machine in school due to the decreasing of the people abilities. In reality, most student and even teachers use it too much time and cases for personal communication and processed with class. In addition, there are the most

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

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.

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

The internet needs to be embraced as an integral part of education and in turn schools should promote the responsible and effective use of the web. Teachers need to understand the importance of the internet and technology in the modern world and should take it upon themselves improve their “techno-literacy” when it is lacking. Without adapting to the modern world, they hamper their ability to teach their students. Students should be taught the critical thinking skills needed to effectively browse the internet; they need to be taught how to effectively judge whether or not an article or website is credible and worth their time. Access to the internet can be a significant part of any classroom and will allow students to further their understanding of the material. Being able to find extra examples for a concept that they do not understand in calculus or trying to find some constant they forgot in physics, all in seconds, can be invaluable to any student. It can be just as invaluable to teachers for whom the internet could be something of an additional tutor in the room for students to ask questions, which would ease the burden on a teacher’s shoulders. However, it will also fall upon teachers and students to ensure the responsible use of the internet and prevent any misuse and exploitation of such a powerful tool. Though it is possible to concentrate while working on the internet, it is also possible to fall prey to the myriad of distractions that present themselves on the internet. Things like YouTube and social networking websites are all parts of the reason that the internet is so wonderful, yet at the wrong time they can serve as pitfalls to a studious student. Thus it is up to individual students to make the ever difficult decision to postpone pleasure for work and it is up to teachers to ensure that this is done in the classroom. If used

Every day the world is changing and things are done differently. Technology has also affected the way students are taught and in which they learn. It has changed the classroom. Technology saves us time and allows us to access material in only minutes. “The Internet and online subscription databases, even as a supplement to the printed works in the library, allow students to see, and force them to consider or reject, points of view that they might never have encountered in decades past” (Gow 4).With all the time technology produces, it also has downsides and it also may have created a less intelligent society.

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.

If students do not use technology in high school, they don’t learn the proper way to handle technology. When students go to college, they will miss important things like notes and lectures because they are too busy trying to pull

Often when kids hear they get to use computers during their day at school they get excited, but not for the right reasons. When teachers allow their students to use technology in the classroom, it gets easily abused. This generation of kids and students are so reliant on technology to get them through the day that it has almost become a shortcut for assignments or notes. Some students also get far off task during the lesson that it reflects on their tests or assignments. Some people and some teachers believe that computers in the classroom are helpful, studies have proven otherwise. Although technology is very useful throughout the school day, students tend to distract themselves and it hinders their

Technology can help students in all areas of study. Students need to be able to use this technology since, “Currently and in the near future, it is understood that students need to acquire more autonomous skills of ‘information gathering, analysis, and display’” (Todnem, 2004, p. 1). Furthermore, the use of technology, mainly the internet, provides for variation since “Students find themselves bored and burnt-out of the lecture format to classes, so changing the curriculum and instruction to include things like online assignments and educational videogames can be one clear remedy” (Todnem, 2004, p. 1). Teachers who have implemented technology into their classrooms have noticed changes in their students. The most common of these effects being an increase in motivation. In “Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students” another positive effect is given “technology effect stressed by many teachers was enhancement of student self esteem” (“Effects,” 2004, p. 2).

Furthermore, technology in the classroom is not only necessary to engage students, but it is a basic tool for the future. Every day our lives become more deeply rooted in technology. Hardly anything is done on paper anymore. Most of people’s resume, applications, homework's, assignments, test, even letters are all done with technology. Technology has changed the status of

There is much in the literature regarding the use of technology in education. According to Dede (2009), Banister (2010), Peled and Schocken (2014), my topic can be characterized as technology in education is an effective tool for motivating student engagement, increasing academic success, and providing new environments for students to learn. Thus, the more technology that is incorporated in a students’ earlier grades, the more inclined they will be to prefer that type of instruction in their latter years. It is an important topic with respect to education because the wave of new technology is increasing at rate never before seen in the field of education. These articles track the study of technology use in the field, and how they are beneficial for my study of technology in education. All of the articles support the idea of the use of technology in education, and each represent a different aspect in which technology can improve a child’s education.

In addition, there is a problem because the current situation in colleges and universities are having issues and multiple problems concerning the involvement of technology in class and at home. Surely the use of computers are now direly needed to discuss and deliberate on the several subjects taught in high school and colleges. To the contrary, children and young adults have been found failing in class by reason of
