Why should educators integrate technology in their classroom?
Technology has been touching every part of our lives, our community and our homes. However, most schools are far behind as it relates to integrating technology into classroom learning. If properly used, technology will provide the skills needed to survive in a highly technological community. This will also help to prepare students for the real world environment, as the world is becoming increasingly technology-dependent, so it is necessary for students to learn to be tech-savvy.
One major benefit of the technology learning approach is that students are likely to stay engaged and on task, reducing behavioural problems in the classroom. It is also a great way for children to become more responsible, taking control over their own learning, while making decisions and thinking for themselves. Technology allows for students to access an overabundance of information online about a particular topic they may have learned in class, while also allowing them to reach diversity in learning styles. It is definitely needed in today's classroom.
