= [[#Technology in the ClassroomHow Much is Too Much? By: E. Eden About 90% percent of people between the ages of 5 to 7 use computers and 59% percent of them use the Internet. One out ofevery four 5 year olds uses the Internet. These statistics are big and are growing bigger every year. Should children be introduced to technology in the classroom? Mali Mann, M.D., who is an adjunct clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Stanford University’s School of Medicine states, “Their brains get used to too much auditory and visual stimulation, and in the absence of these stimulations, they do not know what to do with themselves,” she told TechNewsWorld. “They get anxious, restless, bored and aggressive.” Damon Moore on the other hand is an eighth grade science teacher who serves on a national commission that promotes training teachers with technology. He states, “My students can have their world expanded by the use of this technology, and my interaction directly with them in small groups and individually is an opportunity that this country cannot pass up to make sure that every child has this technology available to them. It is the leveler for this uneven playing field that we call education.”So, what do you think? Could introducing technology at a young age prevent children from thinking on their own and creating their own ideas? Could technology provide a new avenue of learning that enhances the creative minds of our children? These questions cannot go unanswered because technology in our world is fast moving and spreading quickly each day. Soon students around the world will have the opportunity to work with different aspects of technology in the classroom daily. Now, the question is how much is too much?-High school students use technology in the classroom on an everyday basis, whether it’s for a project, research or fun. Learning how to use technology at a younger age has helped high school students use the technology more efficiently.

Now, the question is how much is too much?-A common question within schools is: how are teenagers prepared for technology in high school? Well, schools have started using technology in the classroom at a younger age, and some schools start as young as elementary school and daycare. In middle school, the students are able to take a computer class where they learn how to use the different programs and how to type correctly. All of these lessons have helped prepare the student to use technology in high school. The students of Harper High School made a video called Student Speak, where the students discuss how technology can be used in the classroom and around school. The students made a lot of good points in this video, such as students being able to use phones to record their teacher’s lectures and record projects. Computers are used in the classroom for both research and projects, which prove that technology in the classroom can be both beneficial and fun.]] A common question within schools is: how are teenagers prepared for technology in high school?
