Technology's Role

Technology is a great tool for teaching such as using the smart board. You can use it to download movies, a great visual technique for the kids. By using smart boards you can introduce the kids to what will be their future. They can even take part in using it by being an active participate of the learning process. On the other hand, the misuse of technology could lead to the dependency of technology on simple tasks such as the students relying on computers or calculators to help them in finding simple answers. Thus, making them dependent. Bottom line technology is a great tool in teaching but it must be monitored as well as taking into consideration the correct exposure according to their age and grade level.
