  • However, schools can teach students the 21st-century skills they need by involving them in technology planning and implementation. By empowering students to work with adults to solve real-world problems, schools can engage students in meaningful dialogue about technology use, Internet safety, online learning, and filtering. In the process, they hone students' skills in problem solving, collaboration, civic awareness, ethics, leadership, and information and media literacy. Schools benefit from students' insights and experience; at the same time, they show students how their education is relevant for the world today. This kind of involvement captures students' enthusiasm, creates new communication pathways to parents and the community, promotes deeper understanding of the school technology policy, promotes student leadership, improves technology integration schoolwide, and builds respect and trust among all groups.

    Most school or district technology plans call for the inclusion of all stakeholder groups as key to creating a sense of ownership and support that will lead to long-term success. However, these plans often ignore the largest stakeholder group of all-the students.

    As technology advances, it can be difficult to keep up and adapt to the advancements in both our personal and professional lives. Teachers have an especially important role to play in technological advancements, as incorporating technology in the classroom can be both a learning tool for students and a teaching tool for the instructor. Kids seem to be adapting to the rapid advancements in technology better than many adults, and they actually embrace it. For this reason, incorporating technology in the classroom is a great way to increase a child's interest in learning.

    While technology can be a great addition to the classroom, it also can be a source of frustration for both the teacher and the student. Unless the teacher is well trained in technology and can support the hardware in the classroom, a technology expert will be needed to troubleshoot problems. If schools cannot support the purchased technology, it essentially renders it useless in times of crisis or disrepair.

    It is not surprising with technological advances we have in the world that we are seeing more and more technology in the classroom. This stretches from college level to the grammar and middle school levels. It is becoming more and more normal to see technology such as computers and Internet in the classroom.

      Because what we have them doing in school might be "more intensive," but it's not real world use? 
  • Many of these students can locate basic pieces of information and browse web pages if given specific instructions. But they are performing at lower levels than will allow them to fully utilize the educational, employment and social opportunities available to them in a modern context.

    I think one of the big problems with making best use of technology in the classroom is the richness of the possibilities. Instead of looking at all the digital possibilities and trying to bring them into your classroom, think about you and see what you can do with some of these tools in your own life.
