What should teachers know about Technology and Its Impact on schools?

            Technology in schools is very important and as the years progress, technology will continue to be an issue in education. As the society continues to grow there will be new forms of communication through networks, communication, computer technologies. Schools know that it is very important to keep technology in the schools but as technology advances schools are scrambling to keep it. It is important for teachers to know how to use technology in the classrooms. Some teachers find it difficult to implement the new uses of technology because they are so used to what they are accustomed too. Many teachers are still living in the dinosaur ages. You can say that they are not very computer literates if you ask me. Many districts are enforcing teachers to implement computers and technology into their classroom instruction. But teachers always use excuses like, we’ve always done it that way and they say things like “Their allergic to change.” I always say that change is good for us, especially when it will benefit our students and our future children.
