But to another, technology is only encompassed in using computers in the classroom. When I think about educational technology, the issues that I instantly consider are those dealing with the internet and the programs on a computer. While the other tools are important, the most controversial issues in technology deal with the computer. Many schools are bringing multiple computers into each classroom bringing new resources for teachers to implement into their lessons. Teachers are finding and creating informational internet sites and computer programs which students can use to complement their traditional studies.
Educational games bring excitement and interest to subjects drawing children into their lessons .
This is wonderful for students who don't learn in the traditional way. Another use of the in class computers is the vast amount of information that is available for research. While creating reports or learning about new activities many students benefit from the internet. The students not only have instant access to information they need, but they also learn the important skills of sorting through the material that comes back to them. So the teachers can teach the students the important skill of information literacy.
