Many people in schools take technology for granted, using it every day, and not knowing how truly useful it is.

Some believe that technology is a distraction when it comes to school.

However, technology can be very beneficial for both students and teachers alike, in ways you probably wouldn’t even notice. 

To begin with, it connects students and teachers far more than ever before. With technology, students are able to communicate with their teachers, even if they may not be in the same vicinity.

For instance, if a student has been absent, he or she can just send the teacher a message about the assignment and… voila! They can do it from home, or wherever they may be.

Speaking about viewing assignments from home, technology gives access to materials that cannot always be accessed with pen and paper, such as on Chromebooks.

Chromebooks allow completing work to become easier, much more fun, and extremely interactive, as you’re able to see assignments at any time from anywhere.

Not only that, but students can submit their work digitally, any time, from any place.

It also enables students to check their grades. Without technology, there would be no way to have constant access to students’ grades. 

Additionally, technology proves useful to not only students but teachers as well. 

Teachers have much easier access to the work that is submitted, as they can see it whenever and wherever.

Without technology, teachers would have to take every individual paper home and have to grade paper by paper every day, which would take much longer than using a computer.

It also allows teachers to see a student’s grades much easier, having a constant eye on them, and not having to write them down somewhere. 

Furthermore, it gives teachers the ability to check if a student is cheating. For example, an English teacher could use AI to check if a student has been plagiarizing or any other forms of cheating. 

It also gives a better way for student collaboration, allowing multiple people to work on a project even while everybody is in a different location

Ultimately, technology incorporates different learning styles that can be used in more ways than one, such as using games for tests, homework, and other such uses.  

Overall, using technology in schools proves to make work for both the students, as well as teachers much more simple, fun, and more interactive.
