Why has technology become so important in classrooms today? Why is it so demanded and needed? What is the point of it? The most important reason to use technology for school is Research. Technology makes research so incredibly easy to find and utilize versus sixty years ago, even ten years ago! If students today had to go to a library and spend hours looking through books to find information on a subject they would never do any assignments. Students today are already lazy enough; technology makes it easier for them to find info quickly and accurately.
Another important reason for technology to be in the classroom is because of its ability to enhance learning. It can help teachers visually show students the inside of a heart instead of just talking to them about it. Tech helps to allow students to have full advantage of knowledge out in the world today, unlike the old days when they could only learn what their teacher knew.
A third important reason for technology to be used in school is for outside teacher-student communication. Tech allows teachers and students to be able to e-mail each other about questions a student might have on an assignment. It also allows the teacher to communicate with parents easier. The teacher can use tech to assign assignments online if they wanted to. Overall tech opens up a whole new world of opportunities for students education.

Can you imagine what some of our research assignments would be like without all the tools we have now? I'm pretty sure there would be a lot more complaining than there is now. It is crazy to think about having to actually go to a library and only have book sources. We take for granted all the technology we have now. Technology has gotten us to a level that is so much higher than 6 or 10 years ago. Technology now plays such an important roll in our lives that most people couldn't live without it.
