Technology in Classrooms

Using technology in the classroom is beneficial to students to aid in learning. Integrating technology into classrooms is an effective way to connect with students of all learning styles. In the classrooms, teachers use smartboards to offer more diverse platforms for students to work with new ideas and demonstrate understanding. Technology resources should be available to all students to use during school hours and also outside of schools.
Technology is beneficial throughout the world. “Technology can be used in facilitating collaborative learning. Smartboards can be used inside of the classroom to engage student learning, laptops and mobile devices are for personal use inside or outside the classroom” (Paddick). In schools, teachers use technology to help students on powerpoint, google classroom, even contact parents for achievements, homework updates or creating assignments. “Software, such as Prometheans ClassFlow allows teachers to plan interactive, multimedia-rich lessons and create assessments and assignments that can be delivered across a range of technologies for use in and out of classrooms” (Paddick). Teachers post notes or class work in google classroom for students who are not present in school or would like to get extra help. Technology has proven to be a successful resource, especially in schools. Without technology teachers would have to work harder to catch up absent students and would not be able to collaborate outside of school
