Use Of Technology During High School

I am grateful for the opportunity to be allowed to address joint meeting in this country that I personally call my home. This country is the land where people can be free and pursue their dreams that can not be done in any other country. As the United States Congress the whole body of this organization is to be able to defend the lives and rights of the people. This country is the home of the people that keep this country running, and part of those people is the Latino community. The Latino community now make up 1 out 4 school students in the United States and are a rapidly growing population in nontraditional settlement areas (Gandara 2017). But as the Latino community keeps growing the youth is not getting enough help to continue into higher

McAllen school district in Texas recently spent twenty million dollars on I-pads and I-pods for students. The funding for the school district is coming from a combination of local funds, federal grants, and stimulus money. The schools in that area are considered some of the poorest in the nation(Ryan Holeywell). In schools around the world the students are starting to use technology in the classroom such as I-Pads, I-Phones, and other types of devices. Technology has changed Students day to day life, it has modified how and what students are taught negatively and positively.

Back in my days, we were not fortunate enough to... Gotcha! Did you expect that to be a dull story like our grandparents or parents may have told to show us how much more difficult their lives were? Not exactly, this writing is about how college students of this generation make use of digital technology. The wide spread of today’s technology via computers or smartphones results in constant connectivity to the internet. Social media, video gaming, information databases, and online classes, have affected college students’ studies. As a result, more students are being distracted, making a wider academic gap with self-disciplined students.

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.

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.

Being proficient in using technology will be a prerequisite for almost any employment for younger students. It is the school’s job to prepare many of these kids for employment, and that is especially true for the lower socioeconomic areas where students with computers at home are rare. Eisenberg and Johnson describe this basic skills education as the “laundry list” approach to computer education. By ‘list” they mean isolated skills, such as word processing, or searching the Internet. “Students need to be able to use computers and other technology flexibly, creatively and purposefully. All learners should be able to recognize what they need to accomplish, determine whether a computer will help them to do so, and then be able to use the computer as part of the process of accomplishing their task.”1

Technology has evolved into a scientific breakthrough that has given humans the satisfaction to their needs and wants. So, how does technology enhance college students, and how is it supporting or hindering them? With the newest advancements, students have become more accessible than ever with the internet. A large positive role is being played along with the impact that is making on their educational experiences.

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.

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

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,

Research shows that the use of technology broadens students’ abilities and talents and is fundamental to college and career readiness in the 21st century; therefore, it is important that I become more familiar and comfortable with implementing

As we navigate through the 21st century, technology in the classroom is becoming further predominant. iPads are replacing our textbooks, and we can research any desired topic on our smartphones. The impact that technology has had on today’s schools has been utterly momentous. Educators have now seen firsthand the numerous benefits of technology in the classroom. According to a study by IT Trade Association CompTIA, around 75 percent of educators have come to the conclusion that technology has a positive impact on the education process. Educators have also recognized the significance of developing these technological skills in students so they will be prepared to enter the workforce after they graduate (Cox). By incorporating technology in the classroom, teachers are setting our students up for a successful life outside of school. The increase of technology has even changed how teachers teach along with how

Technology has begun to replace skills, such as learning how to use a thesaurus, solving long division problems, or learning how to use critical thinking skills. Some students have failed to learn because of the abuse of technology that is occurring in the learning environment. The internet has brought more resources to schools around the world but some of the important skills in the learning process are being substitute for the mass of resources the internet has provided. The result of this abuse of technology is a student passing the curium without
