• In my classroom, technology will be used often

• It is more organized

• Easy to use, especially for the newer generations starting at a younger

age

• Very interactive

• Not going to be used for reading, more for assignments

• Students tend not to focus when they are reading online

• Easier to use it for showing videos, presentations, or assigning projects

Use of Technology in Classroom

• If appropriately used, technology can enhance the learning process

• Teach critical learning, advance knowledge and entertain simultaneously

• Technology makes learning more enjoyable and fun

• If students are too shy to answer a question by raising their hand, they can answer on their screen and the teacher can act accordingly

• Less assertive students benefit in using technology in the classroom
