Drake M. What about Technology? Technology is everywhere. Technology continues to improve and innovate over time. Technology can be right on the palms of the kids’ hands at a really young age. As a result, technology is offered to kids and continues to be with them as they grow up. As kids go to schools, this brings up the question if schools should really consider the use of technology in the campus. Schools should start to consider how technology would be beneficial for the learning and betterment of the students, for a successful future and career, but be able to understand the negative effects that are present. Technology is shaping and changing the method for learning than ever before. Schools have been starting to use technology in classes for it to benefit the students. Marc Prensky, a renowned speaker and writer in the field of education and learning, suggests that technology is one of the best ways of “thinking and knowing about the world” (Prensky 23). With technology, it would captivate students with different interactive activities and programs that would get them to be more involved in classes. Time would then be used more efficiently, making it easier and simpler for both students and the teachers as well. Also, because of the use of Web, students would be able to have the latest information instantly with just one click, tap or even voice. Technology continues to “provide us with the new and enhanced capabilities we need” (Prensky 23). Prensky is also trying to convince schools that students must be taught with the use of technology in schools as early as possible (Prensky 25). Why? Technology is used wherever you go, at homes and at work. Being taught how to use these machines and devices at schools would gradually help students as they grow up. After graduating, students will be able to utilize technology and may properly use it. In jobs
