Technology in the Classroom

Technology is emerging in classrooms as a necessity and should be treated as such. Through the use of technology, course material can be easier to understand and can be made available to students at anytime and anywhere in the world. In my experience as a student, when a teacher would use a slide show to put notes on a screen they were easier to read and the notes could be gone back too at any point in class. Another advantage of a teacher using these is they could post them online where I would be able to access them at home to make studying easier. Also, through using emails, teachers have been able to give me access to articles and files. This gives students access to material that they can print out and use prior to class instead of waiting to give a handout in class. This also gives teachers the opportunity to give students access to decisions they make on course work and new material that they decide on using. Using new technology and finding new ways to use current technology is a challenge teachers have to embrace to help raise the level of the education that their students receive.
