For Students

There are many reasons why today’s learners should be exposed to technology on a daily basis. Tamar Levin and Rivka Wadmany (2006) report that, “Technology encourages greater student-centeredness,” and “Greater openness toward multiple perspectives on problems” (p. 161). Student centered learning is extremely valuable and teaching children that there is more than one way to look at a problem is invaluable education for our students. Technology is also instrumental in, "Helping them (students) solve complex problems” (Bauer & Kenton, 2005, p. 520). The world is full of complex situations. Teaching student how to use technology to solve these issues helps prepare them for there future.
