Opposing Viewpoints in Education
Different positions on Education
High Technology and Education
The reason I believe in Technology in the classroom is because I have seen how technology can help students learn. I think technology should be available for every student and I think we should find ways to fund it. I want every student to succeed and I think technology is the way to do it.

Pros of Technology in Classroom
Smart Board
It is an interactive whiteboard that offers so much more than the standard chalkboard.
IPad
It offers so many different hands on learning apps and games to assist the students in learning.
Laptop
Its is where students learn to type and create presentations and make projects with little to no assistance no more posters, notebooks, typewriters.
Technology and Education Goes Hand and Hand
Downside to Technology in Education
Besides the positive effects technology in education they also have negative ones. The two negative side effects are: Distraction to Students and Cheating. The way it could be a distraction is games, apps, phone calls can be a distraction. Cheating is so much easier cause they can just search for the answer. So technology can be a hindrance but I think it just matters on how it is used and supervised. The student can let it help them be successful or negative impact on their future.
My Opinion
I believe that if handled well technology can facilitate learning. I think we need to use technology to keep up with our peers around the world. Technology has so much to offer to education and we just in the brink of touching it. I think that technology and education will help us succeed and build more advanced students.
