? Technology can be connected with many different things in many different ways. In this case we are discussing the conflict between the use of technology during school and at home while trying to study. Various people say that the use of technology in school has many distractions. These distractions include social websites like Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook. Yet a number of people forget to realize the many great uses technology can provide for students. The use of technology during school and at home while doing homework can be very helpful, productive and efficient. Technology as a distraction can be talked about and argued but the truth is technology is an everyday occurrence and can be used to benefit students and teachers throughout their educational career. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the use of technology has increased tremendously around the world, but most importantly at school. For example, I know of many schools that have a “smart board” in every classroom. This is a device at the front of the classroom that teachers can control with their laptop or computer. From personal experiences, I can tell you that the use of the smart board has helped me in the way that I take notes. Technology has improved so much today that schools are handing out devices like iPads, laptops or Microsoft Surface tablets. I already know that the laptops at George Walton Academy next year will be a huge help to everyone that uses them. These can be a huge help because, instead of teachers having to fight over the lab and mobile lab, they can just have their students pull out their laptops. The improvement of technology in schools during the twenty-first century has already impacted and helped me in multiple ways. Secondly, technology can be very helpful during school in ways you may have never thought of. Using technology can not only benefit the students, but also it could be very helpful to the teachers.
