Technology Use In Classrooms

I believe that the use of technology in classrooms is needed to a certain extent. The technology that a teacher provides is useful if students are able to learn and gain knowledge from the class. Nowadays, there have been multiple classes all over thousands of campuses that have computers, which I believe is useful. Computers in classes can be used for research through the internet. Also, they can be used to write papers, make documents, create web designs, etc. These different uses can be essential for students as they pursue what they want to do in the future to make work easier. Besides using technology for personal values, students are able to communicate with other people, especially with people in their class, giving each other resourceful information or assistance. Such examples of communication are the Wiki, Blackboard, and other websites that have blogs or different sources of communication. Teachers can provide and use computers for these purposes as well.

Through computers, teachers are able to provide instruction visually. They are able to set up a lesson plan through power point. They are able to use power point to guide them in their lectures by writing down the main ideas of what they're representing, even adding a few pictures for students to be able to grasp the teachers' purposes of their lectures. Most of my classes that I have taken at Towson had power point used, usually when students had to present any certain topic. Besides computers, I believe there should be some music involved. I believe to make various classes more interesting and provide a better learning environment, teachers should provide a music system, whether it's from an I-pod connected to a computer or a radio, which students can listen to so they won't have to stress out from what they're learning. Overall, I believe the computer is the best source of technology to use in a classroom.
