Project Web Reflection



My group and I decided we would choose to write about the effects of technology on students and their education.  I chose to specify on how technology has helped student, whether it’s taking online classes or downloading eBooks. I have learned a ton of new thing throughout my research about this topic. Technology has come a long way in the past century. People are becoming more aware of what is happening around the world, we are able to video chat with loved ones that live thousands of miles away, and most importantly benefit from the new teaching strategies technology has in store for students. Studies have shown that a student is actually more motivated to read an eBook than a used torn up book. Arnold Schwarzenegger saw a makeover in school textbooks which was eBooks. Technology has also allowed students with tons of other things to do, like work, take care of their elders, and children attend school as well. This was almost impossible twenty years ago, thank to the portability of online classes now we are able to accomplish that.

This semester I was assigned an essay which required some online research to be done. I have done many research essays in the past, but this one was different I got to choose my topic. I have always loved computers and technology, so I thought it was a great idea to write about technology and its benefits. It has benefited more than millions of peoples on the world and is continuing to. I doubt that technology hasn’t benefited one person in the world. It’s used in our daily lives from the hospital, to street light, even in our homes. Preparing students for the future in schools is the key to their future success.

Writing my introduction was the easiest part of the essay, getting all my ideas down on paper. Doing research and finding articles about my specific topic was fairly easy. I found proofreading and rewriting parts of my essay the hardest part, because every time I reread my essay I found something I didn’t like and want to change. Other than that I enjoyed working on this topic and felt accomplished after seeing my group blog and all our essays and posts up.
