These things were never available to me when I was younger. My teachers always wrote on the chalkboard and computers where only in the offices. Now I have my own computer and so do the majority of college students. I have witnessed computers become as common as candy and have seen them improve my education and the education of those around me. Educational technology is forever improving, making it one of the best investments we will ever witness.
Educational technology is an investment in our children and our future.
It allows access to the world and allows students to expand their horizons without even leaving their room. Teachers can use computers to give their students a more realistic understanding of subjects and it makes the lesson more of a hand's on ordeal. Almost all of my teachers use some sort of technology, whether it be an assignment for us to use the Internet or us taking notes off and overhead projection. As a future teacher I would use technology as a way to hold my students attention and allow them to interact in the classroom. Students seem to learn better when they are able to actually interact with the material and use it hands on.
