  • technology tools (such as word processing, database, design, and graphing software) in the same ways as do professionals in business, communications, and research. Such practical uses of technology contrast sharply with the more didactic technology applications designed explicitly for instruction. Using technology for meaningful activities also helps integrate a variety of disciplines, more closely resembling activities that people undertake in the world beyond the classroom. For example, word processing is a real-world technology that can help students develop writing and thinking skills. Using the computer, students write longer, more complex sentences and are more willing to revise and edit their work; they are able to concentrate on the thoughts they want to express rather than the mechanical skills of penmanship, spelling, and grammar (Hornbeck, 1990).

      3. Connection: I would use this source when I make an argument that high school teachers and students favor using technology in class time as they push themselves to effectively use them to save their time and work efficiently. I can support this by providing quantitative evidence from the data, showing both increased percentages and ratio of usage of technology at school.

      2. Use: This source is going to help me when I argue that since the technological usage has increased from 1998 to 2010, both teachers and students favor using technology in school environment.

      1. Summary: This source is a student survey in Media Center at Las Montanas. This looks at the percentage of students having computers at home and teachers having computers at home from 1998 to 2010. Type of computer usage is also included in the data. This data was attached with the website article which was written on February 18, 2011. The data clearly shows the increased ratio and percentage of the technology usage by students and teachers.
