Why Is Technology Being Allowed In School
Technology being allowed in schools can be a very hard topic to talk about because they are so many pros and cons of both sides of the argument. Quite frankly the only possible answer is opinion based and up to the person who is in control. I personally believe that technology is a great thing to have in school. Technology can be a very horrible thing to give to a child or teen in some cases if they have not showed themselves responsible enough at the house. Like if they are always on it in the house and never can take a break from it that clearly shows that if you allow them to bring it to school they will always be on it and not be disciplined enough to know when to get off of it. Which would just end up giving them stress and fortunately

    I believe technology should be used in moderation for children. I don’t agree with parents just giving their phones to their children because they need them quiet, or to sit still. For children to be at home and siting with a tablet or on a computer to coming to school and doing the same is hard for a teacher. I personally don’t have “technology” in my classroom that the children have access too. But the technology is growing quicker each day, we use it literally every day of our lives, it’s inevitable. Kids are drawn to video games anyway so we might as well put something educational. We have no choice but to go along for the ride.…

    Bristol School Case Study

    As stated in Tinker v. Des Moines, “...[i]t could not be justified by a showing that the students’ activities would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school”(Tinker v. Des Moines School District). This case justifies how important it is that the court repeatedly emphasizes the need to guarantee the absolute authority of the States and of the school officials, persistent with fundamental constitutional safeguards, to determine and control the conduct in the schools. Additionally, as expressed in the Bristol Student Handbook, “Access to the School District’s Technology is provided as a privilege and as an educational tool. In order to continue enjoying access to the Technology, each student must take responsibility for appropriate and lawful use of this privilege. Students are responsible for their behavior with the Technology just as they are in a classroom, school hallway or other School District property” (Upper Arlington Schools Students’ Handbook…

    Do you think high school and middle school students should be receiving iPads instead of books? Textbooks have been played an instrumental role in society’s success, ever since school was invented we needed ways to find information and textbooks have always been there. Now with the world moving forward in terms of technology, obviously there are going to be some new inventions. However, the question is do we really need to use the inventions? Why all of a sudden are schools now having the need to replace everything that has helped millions and millions of kids with their education? Now just to be clear, I am not knocking the iPads down or anything, I think it is a very useful invention, but it is not needed…

    Did you know that more than half of the world’s students are using tablet computers? To all the students out there who are not lucky enough to even use a computer (at home or at school), I am deeply sorry for you since half of the people that are at the same age as you are surrounded by information, and are improving their knowledge of the world everyday. No worries! After this speech you will have all the rights to go against who ever would not let your school have laptops/computers. "How is it possible to convince my headmaster to let us have computers in school?” A Chinese proverb once said: “Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in a different time.” It clearly states how the minds of the elders and the juniors are so different since they were born in different times or even centuries. Would you rather listen to a person who has a mind to create more possibilities and not stick to the old rules or a person who sticks any same old rules that their elders once told them and rule the school? I bet you most people would choose a person who creates more possibilities than an old man who sticks to the rules and not let the school have technology. I mean, what is the point of a school, which only has books and pencils, and never interact with visual presentations; it would make the students lives in to hell! When they grow up, what job would require them to only write in books and pencils? If your child does not know anything about technology, what can they even be when they grow up? Nothing is my answer to that. You might say an architect, but sadly, they do use computers too, since after they finish the planning and design of the building, they would have to scan it on a computer and send it out to the managers. Our lives depend on technology and computers. Kids in school used to write on paper and read out of books But the fact is, more and more kids in school…

    Parents have a right to be concerned about their children on a screen more than being outside. Also they may not want to rush their child into learning at a young age, but having the child on a screen will not prohibit them from outdoor experience. Children should not be limited on screen time. A child who spends less time learning and more time outside will become a slow learner and also become unaware of a school setting. Technology will help the child prepare for their…
