Hardware and technology in schools has become more and more important. Back in the 90’s technology was not so important in school. Now it is very important, most teachers and students would not be able to do much work without it. Also, in the 90’s, schools were lucky to have internet access and if they did there were only a few areas to get it. Schools now are given money to purchase equipment for new technology. Ten years ago teachers were using overhead projectors that plugged into the wall, used light bulbs that didn’t last long and, had to use clear projector sheets to write on. Now, teachers have projectors that hang from the ceiling, and they can easily show power points and other things straight from their computer. Almost every child in school now knows how to use the internet. Also, these children rely on it for almost every assignment they receive. Technology has become very important, and it is definitely beneficial in many ways.
I liked how you explained how technology in the classroom was not very important as recent as the 90's. Technology/specific media types have really influence the way educators teach students. Great post
