Why Use Technology in the Classroom?

Integrating technology into the classroom is aimed to best serve the needs and interests of the students. The use of technology is not just to expose students to the new technologies available, but encourage students to critically analyze the world and think in new, creative ways. Schools must keep pace and stay relevant with our rapidly changing world to keep students engaged, and equip them with the tools necessary to succeed.
