Classroom of the Future

The role of technology in the classroom is growing daily from grading systems to educational learning software. The benefits are endless.

Classroom technology integration helps students absorb the material. Many classrooms are now set up with a projector, for example, that allows the visual learners to see what the teacher is lecturing about and at the same time gives verbal learners an advantage. Educational technology supplements class curriculum, like with the use of DEPCO Studio. Technology doesn't have to benefit just students. When teachers are not instructing they have students conducting research papers where they have the use of the internet.

When discussing issues related about educational technology, one must mention the opportunities of students learning in the classroom with the software and tools used in the workplace giving them an advantage. Other rewards provided by technology can include editing of assignments, providing educational information form scholarly sources, communication (create a class pen pal in a far away county that you are studying), and motivating students since they generally find the use and advances of technology stimulating.
