In today’s society we are overwhelmed with technology. Technology is changing everyday, and will forever be a staple in our lives. The effect that technology has on our children has brought on some concerns and some praises. Children these days have no choice, but to some- how be influenced by the ever growing technology in our societies. One major concern has been that although digital technology has boosted children’s talent for multitasking, their ability to process information deeply may be deteriorating. Many people have a wide range of opinions on if technology is having a positive influence on our children or a negative, there is a vast amount of evidence to support both of these arguments. Technology can refer to so many things, but there are three main parts of technology that are having the greatest effects on our children: video games, television/media, and computers. I think that everything in life has pros and cons. However, technology in my opinion has proven to be very beneficial to students, in regards to advancing their level of education from several perspectives. On the other hand, technology has had a negative impact on education by being utilized as the only means for children becoming educated. Their are several instructors who need professional development in technology so that they can utilize it properly within their classroom settings (it isn't to be used as only a toy,time passer, nor a teacher).
Technology is becoming an essential tool in education, but is it really helping the students. Yes, students may enjoy using technology within education, but are they actually learning for a life time or for the moment. It seems that state officials and principals want to see technology being implemented into daily lesson, but for what? I think educators, state officials, principals, etc. should go back to what worked 20 - 30 years ago when technology was not being used in the classroom. The leaders of education should pick out the things that worked a long time ago to get these students/our future back on track.
I firmly believe that technology has helped to improve students’ learning, and performance. The students with access to a computer on a daily basis can learn at their own pace and practice as much as they need to.
I believe that it has its pitfalls. Many have become dependent upon technology and when errors occur many times data and other info may be lost.
