Technology in the Classroom

By Kirkland Ross ‘14

Some teachers are worried that technology is taking over the students’ lives, while students and other faculty members believe otherwise. 

As time goes on, technology is becoming more and more relevant in our lives. Students are using technology daily, hourly even. They use the internet on their smartphones, laptops, and tablets for social media, watching videos, and in some cases, research for school. 

Some teachers think that technology is becoming a distraction, that technology is preventing the students from learning. 

“Technology is a necessity,” stated math teacher Clay Leonard.

“Every classroom should use technology,” said senior Melinda Bad Wound. “In the future technology will be everywhere, so we should get used to using it.” 

Bad Wound continued, "It helps accomplish more work.”
