Technology in the classroom by Deanna - January 2020 Scholarship Essay

I am a senior in High school, so I am apart of the generation that got to do a lot of experimenting with new technology and new ways to learn. I can’t imagine my school experience without technology it was used for everything from computers to iPads and is a big part of society today. Using technology in the classroom has made learning easier and more interesting.
Being able to see it in different ways or just watching a video on a subject made it easier to understand. A lot of people are visual learners and the use of technology makes learning easier for them. Even people who are not visual learners, however, can still benefit from technology. Using iPad or computers in class helps everyone be able to see close up instead of looking u t=at the board and can help student go at their own pace if they are given time they can look at a website or an app at the speed they need to understand it more clearly.
Technology helped me with school even from home. Having a laptop and being able to use it anywhere was such a blessing because sometimes I can’t focus at home so If I go to a cafe I can still study. With technology at home you can sometimes access the same thing teachers use I the classroom or something that it different but just as helpful to deeper your understanding of subjects.
