I know when I was in elementary school we did not have any typing classes, or the opportunity to have iPads/chrome books in the classroom. I remember having to learn how to write in cursive. Oh how the times have changed, many schools today are going towards only having the students learn how to write their full name in cursive, other wise learning all of the letters is “just a waste of time”. Instead many schools today are going to more time on a computer or iPad. By allowing the students to have more internet access allows them to have all the knowledge at their fingertips.
I do believe that having iPads in the classroom for the younger grades is such a good idea. There is so much that you are able to do on an iPad. For the older grades I do feel as though a chrome book is a better idea, because when typing a paper, it is much easier to do so on a chrome book than an iPad. There are benefits of both deceives and I really do think having technology in the classroom allows the students to think more independently and allows the students to express their ideas more freely. There is so much you are able to do in a classroom with technology today than you were even five years ago. I’m very excited to see what is in store for the use of technology in the classroom!
By allowing the students to have the internet at the palms of their hands allows them to look up the questions they have before coming to the teacher and asking for help. Many students today are much more self reliant than in years past. This allows the students to be more independent, this means that the style of teaching has also changed drastically. Instead of having a teacher at the front of the classroom lecturing and giving a few examples’. The teacher today may have the students look up how to do it and then help guide them if needed.
