Blog Post 14: My Thoughts on Technology in Schools

Technology has brought us a very long way. In my opinion, I think that technology has also helped us tremendously with our learning. For one, we wouldn’t really be able to continue school without being forced to go into our classrooms to learn during this time. If we didn’t have technology then we wouldn’t be able to Zoom into classes, so we wouldn’t be able to have the option to be a virtual learner. We also wouldn’t be able to use online textbooks, or print extra sheets of paper, if we need to. (Like what some people do when they mess up their sheet in Technology Class) So technology has totally saved us during the pandemic. I think that it also helps tremendously with writing papers. I for one, like to write a lot, but my hands hurt and cramp up after a bit of writing, so I’m not able to write as much as I am when I’m typing. I also have really bad handwriting, and a lot of times I’m not not even able to read my own handwriting! It’s totally not good at all when I can’t read the notes I took, or I scribbled things down so fast that my handwriting isn’t legible, and I need to know what I wrote. But if I type whatever I want to write down, that’s a whole other concept. I can change the font, make my words bigger or smaller, put them in bold, italics, underline them, and a million other things! I am also able to read the writing! 😉 I can do so much when I’m typing, and I’m actually a pretty fast typer, so that helps a lot. If we didn’t have technology then I also would be in trouble for writing assignments. 😉 I think that once people invented computers, and iPads with keyboards, that it was the smartest idea in the world to invent apps that teach you how to type better. Those apps really helped my typing to improve, and so I think that the typing apps were really good inventions. I also love all the teaching videos that we are using now. I think that those videos are really helpful. In math, Mr. Paquette sometimes gives us videos to watch, and they actually help a lot for me, and if I forget something, I can always go back to the video, and I can learn the thing I forgot again. I also think that the videos Mr. Calvert gives us to watch are extremely helpful. I wouldn’t be able to build my cam or crank without them. There are so many things that technology has helped with, in my view, in school, and I think that that’s just really cool.
