Use of Technology

Eg. Laptops, Computers & Ipads.

The use of technology in school is quite common. Computers are used in classes to do research, to create things on programs like photoshop. They are useful because, they provide you with access to internet for research, provide space to save data like pictures, work for school and so the list goes on. But for many the use of technology is a solution to some of their school issues. If you find yourself often forgetting/losing things and overall just not organized. Use a laptop/computer and organize yourself like this. This helps you to not lose things and you can get back to it later when opening your device. For students with attention disorders like ADHD students, often the use of technology is the way to keep them busy and focused in school. Often these students find them selves distracted because listening to a teacher speak for an hour is very boring. So these students tend to start playing with their pens, paper etc. But, if the student was given an Ipad or a laptop it would generally keep them more focused in school. For example, the touch screen of the ipad would keep them involved with what their doing. So, if you feel that using a laptop or Ipad would somehow help your education, then by means, use it.
However, mis-use during school is not an option. Do not use these as an excuse to play games in class by having them. These are to be strictly used for school purposes to improve your school grades. If, this behavior is seen, teachers may confiscate your ipad/laptop. So use it wisely in school.
