2. Introduction
Technology is becoming a bigger and bigger part of the world
today.
These effects are also being filtered down into the realm of
education.
This is important to us as students because we are directly related
with the integration of technology into the educational
experience.
3. Overview
The use of technology in the classroom is a new educational
learning experience nationwide
Gain experience with computers, smart boards, Internet, and
PowerPoint.
Can communicate with classmates and teachers and retrieve more
information faster.
Have more motivation and self esteem while using technology.
4. Why is the use of Technology Important and Effective?
Technology use allows many more students to be actively
thinking
information, making choices, and execution skills than is typical
in teacher-led lessons.
What are the effects of technology on students and in the
classrooms?
Changes in student and teacher roles
Increased motivation and self esteem
Accomplishment of more complex tasks
More collaboration with peers
Increased use of outside resources
Improved technical and design skills
5. Change in Student and Teacher Roles
Students:
In an active role of recipient of information transmitted by a
teacher, textbook, or broadcast.
Actively makes choices about how to generate, obtain, manipulate,
or display information.
Teachers:
Plays a facilitator role - sets goals; provides guidelines and
resources.
6. TechnologyEnhances High-Order Skills
Students can produce higher-quality graphs:
Computer handles the physical production of the graph.
Students focus on the conceptual link between the spreadsheet data
and the visual representation.
7. Objective
Our objective was to survey our fellow classmates and see if there
were any effects with the integration of technology into classrooms
based on different variables.
For example: GPA, if technology leads to a better student, have
computers given more resources for learning, WebCT made learning
more efficient, and makes communication with professors
easier
8. Research Questions
Question 1:
Is using technology in the classroom important?
Question 2:
Does age have an impact on students using computers as a
resource?
Question 3:
Does technology make learning experiences easier?
Question 4:
Does the use of computers in high school result in a higher GPA in
college?
Question 5:
Do students who went to a public school feel that it is more
important to use technology?

Relevant Findings:
Using technology in the classroom is important
Age does effect the use of computers as a resource.
Technology makes learning experiences easier.
Using computers in high school, does result in a higher GPA in
college.

technology.
21. Reporting cont.
Impact of our findings:
Technology provides for a better learning experience and for a more
educated student. The integration of technology, when done
correctly, can have major benefits in the world of education.
Suggestions:
Now that we have found out the technology does play a role in
education, we would want to ask more specialized questions
describing the correct ways to implement technology to use it to
its highest potential.
