Teachers in today's classrooms use various ways of technology to teach, help and help their students learn whether using phones, computers, the Internet, etc. How Students Did Have advances in modern technology in today's classrooms affected the way students think and learn? Technology has made rapid progress in the last few decades and has impacted the entire world and even educational systems. Today's use of technology is changing and positively impacting the way students learn in school. The power of the Internet offers students a quick way to find information, new technological tools to develop their learning skills, and increase student motivation while developing their problem-solving skills. These three benefits will demonstrate why technology is positively impacting students. The Internet introduces a large amount of rapidly generated information. This amount of information gives students a multitude of choices to consider that aids them in decision making and developing their research skills. Many teachers also believe that Internet use has a major impact on the way students learn. This was demonstrated in a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center that interviewed 2,462 teachers to determine their opinion on whether or not they believe Internet use affects student learning. The final results were that 75% of teachers interviewed believed that the Internet had a positive impact on students' research skills (The New York Times). They were also of the opinion that the Internet helped students become more self-sufficient researchers. This highlights why many teachers and scholars believe that the… center of the card… extends (The New York Times). However, researchers who have studied the effects of media on society have shown no long-term studies showing that students' attention spans have changed due to the use of digital technology. All these examples of using technology in the classroom show that advances in modern technology impact students in a positive way. The benefits of technology are improving students' study skills and ways of learning in today's classrooms. The power of the Internet gives students a quick way to find information so they don't lose interest or focus on the task. Technology also helps develop the student's research and problem-solving skills. While technology has some ups and downs, the overall positive impact it brings to classrooms far outweighs any negative consequences..
