With technology becoming such a major part in today’s classrooms, teachers should understand the advantages of incorporating technology into their classroom.  Technology plays such an essential role in today’s  society and the integration into  the classroom is necessary for students to learn.

 

Nowadays, children are becoming exposed to technology at such a young age and in some cases the students know more about the technology in the classroom than the teacher does; this may be beneficial at times, however teachers must strive to stay updated on technology as well and not just depend that students will know everything.

 

Today’s technology can provide teachers, students and parents with teaching and learning opportunities that were impossible in the past if technology is integrated into the classroom. Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than simply teaching basic computer skills or software programs; it means using technology as a tool to support learning.

 

There is a wide range of advantages for having technology in the elementary classroom.
