How Computers Changed My Life

When I think of the word computer it is more than just a big desktop sitting on a table. There are desktop computer, laptop computer, and hand held computers. When you think about it your cell phone is a miniature computer. Computers have affected my life in a major way. One way computers have changed my life is by learning things quickly and easier. If a person asks you a question, and you do not know the answer; all you have to do is perform an effective search in google, and the answer will pop up. That makes things easier, because back in the old days you would have to read a book about it. Which leads to the next reason as to why computers changed my life. I am not the person that enjoys reading paperback books. I prefer to read things online, because reading online usually gives the reading more life, and excitement. The computer light makes everything more vibrant when you are reading online. The last and final way computers changed my life, is by saving paper. Becoming a new driver, and wanting to explore different places; I always did not know where I was going. Usually I would have to go to www.mapquest.com and look up directions from point A to point B. Now with my iPhone 5 i can use the GPS that comes with the phone, drive while the phone talks to me, and still have service no matter where I am at. That is one major thing that I would need to continue, because I do not have a good sense of direction. Computers have changed my life tremendously.

Technology Plays a Big Role

With technology evolving more and more each day it is hard not to include in something positive for children. Technology has played a big role in learning and teaching. Just like technology is becoming more advance every day, the educational world is also gaining more knowledge all over the globe. I believe technology has more of a positive role in education than negative. 

When it comes to a student learning most of the time a student wants to enjoy it to the best of their ability. Technology will keep them interested in learning, and also attentive. Technology gives a visual children like to see, an animation to make them laugh, and a lesson to help them learn without loosing their attention. Technology also allows children to play and learn at the same time. Children love playing which will give them a love for learning as well in the same manner. Technology is a great thing to have in the classroom.

When it comes to technology dealing with the teacher i find it very important that the teacher have a high knowledge about technology and what is credible. Education is evolving, and new and more experienced teachers should be able to give their students knowledge that will be used in their generation. With new studies coming out teachers also need to be aware of new ways to teach the students in their classroom. It is very important that teachers also learn what it credible and what is not. They can possibly spread false information, and no teacher wants their student to be falsely educated. 

I believed technology effects learning, education, and teaching in positive ways. Everyone can gain something positive from technology. Teachers can keep up with the newest information, and students will keep a high interest in learning. Technology is acceptable for the classroom.
