1. Computers
The first thought
that comes to mind
when technology is
mentioned is a comput-
er, naturally. Computers
in a class may range
from standard desktops
to portable laptop com-
puters. Either of these
may be used by only the
teacher or available to
all of the students. In
some school’s class-
rooms, laptops are made
available to each student.
The computers allow
educators and students
to access the Internet,
practice typing skills, or
view educational materi-
a l s .
Computers can be used
in several different ways
in a classroom. They can
be used to research
teaching material and
produce an instructor’s
lesson guide. A computer
can also be hooked up to
an external display to
show the class presenta-
tions, video slides, or
other educational con-
tent. Computers that are
available to students also
have a range of uses.
Some institutions may
opt to subscribe to any
one of some educational
websites. Many of the
online programs availa-
ble offer access to stu-
dent work and progress,
which allows close

Normally, technology
occupies a significant
place in students’ lives.
When not in school, just
about everything else that
they do is in some con-
nected way to technology.
Therefore, by integrating
technology into the learn-
ing curriculum, teachers
ensure a smooth transition
from normal out-of-class-
lives into the classroom.
The method changes the
way information is passed
and provides the students
with the necessary tools to
take on the 21st century.
When students use tech-
nology as a learning im-
plement or an instrument
for communicating with
others, their roles shift to
an active status as op-
posed to the passive role
of recipient of information
transmitted by a teacher,
textbook, or broadcast.
The student actively
makes pertaining how to
obtain, generate, manipu-
late, or display data. The
use of technology also
allows more students to be
actively involved in mak-
ing choices and executing
concepts which are atypi-
cal in traditional
study sessions.
