In this 21st century, technology has become a pervasive aspect of everyday life. In fact, the use of technology has seemingly become a necessity, both for young and old. Whether typing a letter or sending an email, the benefits of technology are evident. As a future teacher, I have come to see how valuable technology can be when used in the classroom. When and if completing projects such as PowerPoint, Publications, Blogs, and others alike, one can’t help but appreciate the improvement of technology over the years. For this reason, I believe that teachers should strive to make technology a part of their students’ learning experiences. Not only should technology be used during Computer Lab time, but it should be integrated into classroom time as well. By doing so, students are offered more opportunities to learn what the world of technology has to offer. In addition, when students are allowed to explore technology during classroom time, they can use their imaginations to open the door to the impossible. It’s simple – allow students to use technology and content that they’ve learned in class to expand their creative and innovative minds.
