Although technology gets a lot of flak amongst older generations for corrupting our youth, there was a reason technology was made. It was made to make our lives easier and more efficient. Although this can sometimes be considered a bad affect of technology, for the right reasons efficiency can be considered a good thing. When it comes to a child’s schooling technology can be a great device to learn from. With the help of technology subjects are taught in a more fun and exciting way. Kids can take the learning home and learn while playing games. In the classroom, technology is a great tool for learning in an efficient manner. It makes it easier for the teachers, as well as the students.
In Junior High, students learn how to write more developed essays. With the use of technology students can research their subject matter and write simultaneously. Now with the use of laptops, students can also continue working from home. Another important step in Junior High is the arrival of your own cellphone. Social networking is big among preteens and having a cellphone allows you to keep in contact with your friends while at home. If a student has a question with their homework they can quickly ask a friend, via text or call. It allows them the freedom to communicate quickly. Cellphones allow students the ability to research anything anywhere. It is a mini computer that can fit in your pocket. I wish I had that in Junior High!
