The positive and negative aspects of technology

     Technology has created new and innovative ways to teach students. Technology offers students opportunities to learn new things while engaging and interacting in their educations.Classrooms have become technologically advanced, incorporating devices such as Chromebooks, iPad, smart boards and even smart pens that assist with reading to name a few. Teachers are using interactive learning games such as kahoot, plato web and edgenuity to help students prepare for tests, practice what they've learned and to help students take what they've learned from short term to long term memory. Technology can interfere with the learning process because students can sometimes spend time on websites not related the course.
     Technology can aide in education but doesn't replace a human being. Technology cannot provide the insight and emotional connection that a teacher can provide a student. It also doesn't always give the students the motivation that they need at times, they can become uninterested after sitting in front of a computer screen after so many hours.
