Technology in the Classroom

Technology used today in the classroom has improved and simplified the work load. It impacts students because the technological tools aid them in the learning process and get them more involved with the material being presented. Technology greatly impacts teachers because it allows them to make lessons quickly and more efficiently. Some technological tools that I have used before include computers, online discussions, blackboard, blogs, online textbooks, and PowerPoint. Technology saves me a lot of time when working on class work. It also helps me grasp a better understanding of the material being taught. Online discussions are very helpful because you can collaborate with your peers about certain aspects of the class material. PowerPoint, used by most professors, is an efficient learning program. Teachers can create their lesson throughout the PowerPoint, and the students get the advantage of visually seeing the information being discussed. Overall, technology has aided my academic success.

  1. PowerPoint is a very helpful tool for both teachers and students. It is really helpful when we need to make speeches.

  3. I agree technology is powerful in the classroom. As an older student, I didn't have teachers who had the availability to computers. Just looking at this from a distance I can see how technology would enhance the classroom.
