Ways Technology is Helping in Classroom

         Technology has made its way into our classrooms, and they have impacted education in many positive ways. These include creating an interactive environment in classrooms, helping students collaborate more, allowing students and their instructors to connect with ease, and preparing students for the future.

With the help of technology, there are options for students to interact with their instructors in more dynamic ways, which gives them the option of creating more fun activities for their students in class, thus facilitating a more engaging classroom environment. However, not every instructor is able to capitalize on the potentials of technology, as they are just using them as another chalkboard, rather than using it as interactive equipment like they are meant to be.

Technology in classrooms may also help facilitate more collaborations between students, as it provides an easier way for communication between people. This closes the distance between the students, allowing them to communicate with one another more, thus allowing them to collaborate with one another. This ease in communication will also apply to students and their instructors, which will also allow students to seek help from their instructors easier. Though these benefits can be accomplished by technology, many of the students and their instructors have very little idea how to achieve these effects. Oftentimes, students might end up not using these communication abilities, and the resources that they were provided were wasted as a result. 

Finally, technology helps students prepare for their future work environment. With the use of technology in classrooms, teachers will use utilities like PowerPoint slides to present their class, which is a form of presentation that is very important in workplaces. By allowing students to engage in this form of learning, they will be able to pick up ways that their teachers present their PowerPoint slides, thus allowing them to be more prepared in the future.

Even though there are a lot of benefits for technology in classrooms, very few have the ability to fully utilize them in their classrooms. Therefore, we need more training for teachers so they can adapt to the new ways of teaching, thus unleashing the full potential of technology.
