Schrum, Lynn. "Technology as a Tool to Support Instruction." Education World.

    N.p., 24 Jan. 2000. Web. 7 Nov. 2015. Technology can be used to help

    students explore but first it must be valued to both teaching and learning.

    Teachers must be part of the technology planning. It can help enhance a

    lesson the teacher is teaching but teachers should not solely rely on

    technology to do the work for them. They students shouldn't spend whole

    class periods on the computer doing a project, allowing the teacher to not

    even have to teach them. When it is used in a way that is beneficial to the

    students and what they are learning, technology can be a really great

    thing. I could use this reference in my article to help explain the

    positive aspects of technology and how helpful it can be in the classroom

    when used in an effective way.

Scherer, Marge. "Transforming Education with Technology." ascd.org. ASCD, Feb.

    2011. Web. 8 Nov. 2015. In this article, a lady, Karen Cator, was being

    interviewed about how technology is used in the classroom and how it can

    affect the students both positively and sometimes negatively. Technology

allows for student choice. It meets students interests and allows them to  

present information in a way that suits them. They can be as creative as they like.

Engagement is also important. I will use this to explain how students should be interacting  with their teachers and technology shouldn't be relied on as a way for the

teacher to not have to teach a lesson that day. It allows teachers to

create compelling activities that require students to read a lot and think

deeply.

Restuccia, Danielle. "Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students."

    teacherinformation.org. N.p., n.d. Web. 8 Nov. 2015. The U.S.

    department of engagement saw an increase in students' classroom engagement.

    Students were motivated to learn because they saw their computational

    skills could be applied to life outside of school. It was recorded that 65

    percent of educators saw a rise in student productivity. It can also

    benefit students by boosting their confidence. I will use this article in

    my paper to express what a positive impact the use of technology in the

    classroom had on the students. They suddenly were very eager to learn

    although the subjects they were learning hadn't changed. Technology also

    allowed the teachers to track the students growth and allowed the

    students to work at their own pace.

    Technology in Adolescent." Child Youth Care Forum: n. pag. ERIC PlusText.

    Web. 8 Nov. 2015. Technology changes the way people interact with one

    another. Since technology has grown so much, it raises the question, how

    much technology is too much? A study was created to see what extent people

    used technology in their everyday lives. Although technology can be used in

    a positive way, it can influence interpersonal relationships. I can use

    this reference in my paper to show how technology isn't always used in a

    way that is beneficial to teenagers. It can be harmful to their health and

    lead to identity problems. This is not to say that technology is a bad

    thing, but people often overuse it and take advantage of what it should

     really be used for.
