5 reasons to use technology in the classroom.(source: capella.edu)
1. Engages students and creates active learners.Using a computer, tablet, or other device encourages self-directed learning and creates an active participant in the learning process, rather than the passive learners.
2. Encourages individual learning and growth. No one learns in the same way or at the same pace, but technology can level the classroom.
3. Facilitates peer collaboration. Peer tutoring, mentoring, and collaboration were the unexpected results of the technology integration. Students love to help other students!
4. Prepares students for the real world. Technology is an integral part of how we work and live, every day. Teaching students how to use technology to learn, research, collaborate, and solve problems from an early age will better prepare them for their careers.
5. Supports teachers. Using technologies can help free up time — both in developing and delivering the curriculum.
