There are several reasons why students should use technology.
Students are more motivated when technology is involved.
They are able to access information more quickly. The ability to explore many sides to an issue or more than one method for solving a problem is also helpful in their understanding of a topic. Students of today are more technologically literate than students 10 years ago. A lesson can be enhanced by the use of technology as well as the traditional algorithmic approach. This allows the teacher to reach more students with different learning styles.
