Technology

One topic that I have seen come up more and more is, "Should children have more technology in schools?" This has been a discussion for some time now. I have thought about it alot and I think there are reasons for, and against more technology in schools. I believe that more technology is a good thing because it makes learning more fun ands easy. From the kids view point, it is easy to pay attention if the material is on a computer than on a blackboard. Using Smart Boards was way more helpful than watching the teacher write on the board. More technology also speeds up the class, allowing more one in one time between the student and teacher. But one reason why more technology is a bad thing is that it makes kids lazy. Now it seems if students cant type there paper then they are doomed. Some of the smartest people ever to live didn't have much technology. I believe why they were so smart is because they had to work harder to actually know the material. Yes technology makes learning easier, but sometimes if it is too easy, then the student wont get the whole idea. I believe there are many reasons for and against more technology. But I believe the schools that find a fair median of not too much and not too little technology seem to work the best
