Technology in My School

Image Credit- Pixabay

Technology! Most of us use it almost everyday. It's what helps us make life easier. There are so many devices we use in school but we probably don't notice it.

My school uses a lot of computer technology. Everyday, when I go to school, we have iPads every morning while we wait for our classmates, for every lesson when we don't understand something, or our teacher tells us to search it up. We also use different iPad applications to work on our school projects. We also have a computer lab where we learn ICT and do different computer projects. Our school also has two smart boards that are used by lower grades for different subjects.

Most of our homework involves technology and consists of writing, presentations and watching videos, and for all of those things we have to use internet and of course different computer applications like MS word, PowerPoint presentation apps etc. In school, we use applications like Coggle, Creative Writer, Canva, Powtoon, Prezi, StoryBird, Homestyler, VideofxLive and Windows Movie Maker, to name some.

And guess what am I doing now? Blogging which means I am using different applications to create my posts.

What about you? What different computer devices do you use in your school? Have you done any school projects using these devices? And what different applications do you use that you would like to share with me. Please tell me in the comment section below.

Hello, my school also has laptops and calculators. Students and teachers bring phones to school. What platform do you prefer ios or Android? I am from California. Here is my blog: http://afascinatingblogbyrafael.edublogs.org/

Hi Mia Thao at my school we use N 23 Yoga Chromebooks there amazing! I think your right about all our home work being on the chrome books and all sorts of technology. Anyways whats your favorite device to play/work on.

Mai Thao link

11/13/2017 06:04:12 am

Hey Payson!

A lot of people have been saying they use chrome books that you could be able to fold over. I have a few questions about your school. Does everyone have a chrome book or is there only a few?

And my favorite device to use is the Asus Zenbook! ^^

Best regards,
Mai Thao

Wow! Your school sure has a lot of technology! It seems much different from our school, which only has chromebooks (laptops), and smart boards. However, we do have a technology class, where we use various tools on the computer, and work with virtual reality goggles, a green screen, and a 3D printer. Do you think that all of your technology helps you with schoolwork more than if you did not have access to those same pieces?

Mai Thao link

11/13/2017 06:15:35 am

Dear Nathan,

When you said your school had less technology I thought you meant there was nothing! That's still plenty of technology!

And yes I do think that all of the technology helps us a lot with school work. It helps us research and without that we might have to go all the way to the library just to find some simple questions. I hope i answered your question. ^~^

Best regards,
Mai Thao

Thats pretty interesting at my old school we use to use chrome books but now at the school that am at now we use dell laptops. I guess its different for every school. Come check out my blog http://afascinatingblogbyethand.edublogs.org/

11/14/2017 10:52:05 am

That is so cool that you have so much technology at your school. At my school here in California, we do not have a 3D printer. Are only teachers aloud to use it or is for anyone who wants to? Come visit my blog at http://afascinatingblogbybrooke.edublogs.org/

Hey Mai Thoa

In the school Payson and I go to everyone gets a Chromebook as long as they sign a form about taking care of the Chromebook. what piece of technology do you like the most. I like VR

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 04:23:15 am

Hey Haran!

My school also has a form that our parents need to sign, and a manual we need to read before we get the IPads. I like the VR too! But my favorite would be the Asus Zen Book.

Mai Thao

Hi Mai Thoa

At my school there is a lot of technology. Every kid in my school has a Chromebook and we use them a lot(I am using one right now). One question I have is what is something that you had to look up because you didn't understand?
If you want to you can check out my blog a thttp://evanlgms24.edublogs.org/

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 04:19:11 am

Hi Evan!

Wow! Every single kid has a Chrome book, my school would never trust us like that. Haha!

There are many cases that we didn't understand something and we had to search it up. One time we were learning about the Nile river, we were watching a video and they said the river was split into two parts, the blue and the white Nile. Our teacher asked us why is this so? We didn't know so she told us to search it up on our IPads or when we get home do the research. :D

There are many more times but I will only list one or else this will be a whole story. ^^

I will gladly check out your blog.

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Dear Mai,
At my school we use chromebooks, and only my grade has the touchscreen chromebooks. We use Google Docs and Google Slides for a lot for projects, and we are beginning to use Prezi. For other classes that are not core classes, we use windows computers. On those we use Word and PowerPoint, but we also still use google.
From, Parker

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 04:10:50 am

Hey Parker!

Cool that your class is the only one that has touchscreen! ;D Thanks for commenting on my blog. ^^

11/13/2017 08:06:44 am

Mai Thao,

In my school we have N23 Yoga Chromebooks. They are really cool because they can fold over and they have a touch screen so you can use it as if it were a iPad. I get assignments that involve me using a Chromebook to type a google doc or make a presentation. Please check out my blog http://nicoggms24.edublogs.org/

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 04:05:55 am

Hey Nico!

Good that you have Chrome Books! I think they are very nice. I have a Zen Book at home, which is similar to a Chrome Book. (But It's better) Haha!

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Matthew link

11/13/2017 08:09:12 am

WOW! Your school uses a lot of technology. Our school has chrome books and projectors (of what I know). Oh, and what is ICT? And when you said "Our school uses applications like" and what ever you put when you went to put google I think you missed typed and put Coggle, in the third paragraph and the second sentence.

Sincerly,
Matthew, Hey how about you check out my blog http://matthewhgms24.edublogs.org/

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 04:01:29 am

Hi Matthew!

Yes our school does use a lot of technology! and ICT is information and communications technology which is basically computer class!

Also, I did not make a typo, I meant to say Coggle which is an application that you use to make mind maps. :D

I will check your blog right now! ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Carter

11/13/2017 08:12:56 am

Mai Thao,

In our school we use a lot of different applications too. One we both use is Prezi and we also use chromebooks all day everyday. Probably why I need glasses.

Hi Carter!

Haha! My eye vision is also really bad and I have glasses. I would love to check your blog! ^^

Natalie

11/13/2017 09:36:15 am

Hey Mai Thao,

You use a lot of technology in your school! I'm a technology geek so I really liked this post. Oh, and what is an ICT? I noticed that someone else already asked that, but it didn't look like you replied to them yet. In my school, we use chrome books. Have you ever used a chrome book before? So far, I have only used Prezi in my school from your list.

Sincerely,
Natalie

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:52:56 am

Hey Natalie!

ICT is information and communications technology, which basically means computer class for us. :) I have not used a Chrome Book in my life but i have a Zen Book which is similar.

I recommend you checking the other applications i have listed, they're quite good for school work! ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Gabriel

11/13/2017 09:47:44 am

Hello Mai Thao
I think technology is very cool as well as you do, at my school we use Chromebooks, and we do presentations once and a while. At home I have a laptop where I can play games and search things up.
Sincerely,
Gabriel

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:48:32 am

Hi Gabriel!

For our social studies class, we do a PowerPoint presentation for every country. We are doing Africa now and we have to pair up with a partner for one country, and then that pair will present their presentation in front of the class.

We must have to have some sort of device at home or else we would be dead! (Metaphorically) Almost all of our homework we have to do is with technology. ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Madison

11/13/2017 09:52:28 am

Dear Mai Thao,

At our school, we use chrome books. We do most of our work on the chrome books doing things like the student blogging challenge, taking tests, and much more. We each are assigned a chrome book that we get to take home to do homework. So far some class projects we've done are a group project about Mesopotamia and some hyperdocs where we answer some questions about the links provided on it. That's about all, we also mostly use google classroom and google drive because we do a lot of typing. Be sure to check out my blog!! https://goo.gl/ZHirAX

Sincerely,
Madison

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:45:03 am

Hi Madison!

Wow! I can't believe you take your tests on Chrome books! That's pretty cool. We were learning about the Mesopotamia a few months ago. ;D

Of course I will check your blog out! ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Jayden

11/13/2017 09:57:29 am

Dear Mai Thao,

At our school we get chromebooks and we use them everyday. I'm using one right now! We get to bring them home to do homework. I like your technology blog post because it is well organized.

Sincerely,
Jayden

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:39:39 am

Hi Jaden!

Thanks! I'm sure you have a lot of fun with your chrome books! ;D I like the fact that you can fold the Chrome Book into a tablet like style. ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

SeanH

11/13/2017 09:58:48 am

Dear Mai Thao,

I use a Dell Chromebook and we usually do everything on it. We always take it home and are responsible to charge it and not damage it. My school does homework on the Chromebooks and sometimes (Even if they are not supposed to) play video games. The applications we use on our Chromebook are usually Kami, an editor, and Gmail, to check for something that is happening that day or the next.

Sincerely,
SeanH

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:35:28 am

Hi Sean!

Wow! Somehow, almost everybody who has commented has said that their school uses a Chrome Book! After all I think it was marketed for schools. ;)

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Bryan

11/13/2017 09:59:30 am

Dear Mai Thao,
Wow, You use a ton of technology!! At my school we use Chromebooks (Small Laptops). All of the teachers have smart boards ( more like really big televisions). All of the teachers have a HP computer also (which are connected to the television). The iPad's you use, do you bring them home to do homework? At our school we are allowed to bring home our computers. Also at our school, if you have your own computer them you can use that instead of the Chromebook the school gives us. Also what is a ICT? I think your school would be a cool school to be at.

Sincerely,
Bryan

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:31:44 am

Hey Bryan!

In our school we only have two smart boards! Sadly we are not allowed to bring our IPads home to do homework, but most of our classmates have their own devices.

ICT stands for information and communications technology, which for use basically means computer class. We do a lot in ICT such as coding, typing and we also do projects on PowerPoint etc.

Mateo link

11/13/2017 10:01:56 am

Wow, a cat named navi that is sooo cool! (sorry OOT fan) Any way like a lot of people on this post I go to PSA and we do use chomebooks like the one i'm using now! Navi like Zelda right?

Bye!!!

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:27:10 am

Hi Mateo!

Haha! Yes! You are one of the first people who has guessed it! (None of my friends did) my cat is named after Navi from Zelda.

Even though I don't play any Zelda games, I chose the name Navi. Do you enjoy using your Chrome books? ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Hey Maria!

My favorite device would be the Asus Zen book, it's similar to a Chrome Book. What I hate most about technology is when you're using a device and then the screen freezes. ;D

I would love to check out your blog!

Best regards,
Mai Thao

Jaden

11/13/2017 10:04:20 am

Dear Mai Thao,

I personally think that you are a very lucky person. We use chromebooks at our schools either HP or DELL but we have a huge Tv mounted in every classroom that we use for everything. I wish we had IPads that we used all the time. We use Google Docs, Google Slides, Kami, Google Clasroom, and Google. We have free time at lunch when we get to game on our phones and chrombooks but that's it. We have no tech class and stuff just chrome books.

Super Jealous,
Jaden

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:16:43 am

Hahaha! Jaden,

I also think I'm very luck and I'm also very grateful for the things I have! ;D Only some of the smaller grades have a TV.

At least you can bring your own phones to school, in our school we are not allowed to bring any technological devices that we own, even smartwatches.

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

11/13/2017 10:08:53 am

Dear Mai Thao,
Wow you use a lot of technology at your school!At our school we use chromebooks and we all sign a contract to use them and take care of them and we take them home so we can use them to do our homework.We almost do everything on our chromebooks.
Sincerely,
Anwar

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:12:15 am

Hi Anwar!

At our school we also have to sign a contract for the IPads and they also give us a manual to read. Sadly we are not allowed to take the IPads home though. ^^

Hey Mai Thao,
I thought there where schoolss thet used Ipods but i wasnt sure, now i know there was. Are school really only has chromebooks. We also use technoligy a lot in are school. How does it feel using an I pod for school.

From, Jonnny

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:09:50 am

Hi Johnny!

We don't use IPods, we use IPads! ;) There is a big difference, but I was not sure if you were meant to say IPad and it was just a typo. ^^

Best Regards,

11/13/2017 10:11:43 am

Dear Mai Thao,
Your school seems like a really nice school since you do a lot of different technology stuff. In my school we use Chromebooks and we do some homework on it. We use google docs, google classroom and a few more. I also find it cool that you get to have ipads.
Sincerely, Morelia

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:07:35 am

Hey Morelia!

It's cool that you get Chromebooks! I have not really heard of them but I do have a Zen Book at home, it's similar to a Chromebook! None of our grades uses Google classroom or Google docs etc. ^^

11/13/2017 10:22:09 am

Dear Mai Thao,
This was a very interesting to read. I am very experienced with technology and computers so I understand most of what you listed. When I go to college I want to go to classes for coding so I could code websites or any other technology work that needs coding done on it.
From, Kaitlyn

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:03:59 am

Hi Kaitlyn!

I too would like to study about computer science when I go to college, just not coding. :D I have high hopes for your future and wish you the best!

Dear Mai Thoi,
That is a lot of technology at your school!!!!! We use Chromebook at my school but we have to take care of them because this is the school Chromebooks. But we get to take it home for homework and things like that. We use our Chromebooks everyday so we have keep them safe or they can break and you can't us it for homework or projects. But most of the time people take care of their Chromebooks.
Sincerely,
Dominic

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 01:01:32 am

Hi Dominic!

Almost every person that has commented has said that they use a Chrome Book. I was wondering if it was a good device or not?

Jakob Griesbach link

11/13/2017 10:49:13 am

You have a lot more technology than what we have at our school. The only technology we have access to from our school is computers. Are the Ipads your own or does the school let you borrow one?

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 12:58:54 am

Hey Jakob!

The IPads are our school's IPads, you need to let your parents sign a contract before you can use one. There are two students in charge of the IPads. Everyday afterschool they have to go to the IPad room and charge every IPad. ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Jakob Griesbach link

11/14/2017 10:50:01 am

I wish our school would do that, but I think our school has enough technology. We have 2 computer labs and even then people use them for listening to music when you are not supposed to, etc... So having Ipads probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Mai Thao link

Hello Mai Thao,
My school uses technology every day, and for every subject. However, we don't use tablets, but Chromebooks. We are responsible for cleaning them, taking them home, keeping track of them, and charging them every night. Our school district uses mostly Google services, such as Google Docs and Google Forms. What is your favorite application?
Sincerely,
Sara

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 12:53:10 am

Hey Sara!

It must be hard taking car of the Chrome Books right? I hear they're quite heavy. In our school we are not allowed to take home the IPads, they belong to the school. ^^

Hi Gavin!

Doesn't everybody wish they could use IPads? ;) But it does take a lot of responsibility, two of our classmates are responsible for all the IPads, after we finish class they have to go into the IPad room and charge all of the IPads.

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

11/13/2017 11:53:41 am

Hello there! I am really intrigued by what you have made. My class uses HP chromebooks as our technology, but some of us have a Dell for being able to trade the chromebook and a charger (I made a mistake on this one by trading my HP in for a Dell because I wasn't able to connect to wifi)

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 12:47:59 am

Hi Stephen!

Thanks! That's cool how you can trade a Chrome Book and its charger for a Dell. I must say I do like HP better. If you could connect to Wi-Fi then would you choose the HP or Dell? ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

Melissa

11/13/2017 11:58:32 am

Dear Mai Thao,
I think its so cool how you guys get I pads I think those are a little more easy to handle and there no so heavy for school. I really wish my school had I pads but of course i´m still great full for getting to use a computer here at my school and its also cool that we get to take a home chrome books arent as heavy as regular computer but it does add a lot of wait to the bad.

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 12:44:05 am

Hi Melissa!

A lot of people use Chrome books! I was wondering has anyone ever lost one? And did they get punished. ^^

Dear Mai Thao
We have chromebooks that we take home everyday to charge and do homework. I wish we could have ipads and other devices. But we can use our own computatrs if our chromebooks die and no one has a charger to charge.

P.S we use like all the stuff you use but less.
Thanks Kaleb

Dear, Mai Thao Hi, I rally like how you put so much detail and my school we just have chrome books and you guys have iPads so this is a big difference and you have much more dated computers then we have. I have one question why do you guys have so much homework on the computer.

Hey Alexander!

Thanks! I'm not sure why we have so much homework on the computer, but I think it's because back in the younger grades we didn't really use any technology. I'll be sure to check your blog out anytime! ^^

My favorite brand of technology is Apple. I use Firefox as my browser and DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/) as my search engine. What is your favorite brand? What's your favorite browser? Favorite search engine?
Also, instead of using PowerPoint or Google Slides, you could use Prezi (https://prezi.com/) where you can make AMAZING looking presentations.
Another thing in the technological universe is attribution to media, which you can learn about in my post: alexandercgms24.edublogs.org/2017/11/06/attribution-and-licenses/

Mai Thao link

11/13/2017 05:47:59 pm

Hi Xander!

My favorite brand would be Apple, my favorite browser would be Microsoft edge and my favorite search engine would be google. I used DuckDuckGo a long time ago actually :). I used to use Prezi but I don't use it anymore.

And I already learned about attribution a long time ago, maybe 2 years back, but I learned it in detail in my class about 1 month ago, but I would still be happy to check your blog. ^^

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

That's so cool! At school we use technology all the time too. The elementary schoolers use ipads and the middle schoolers use chromebooks. At my old school middle schoolers had Mac book airs and the high schooler had Window's. Looks like many schools use technology to teach!

My school also uses a lot of technology. For example, most students are given Chromebooks to work with for class and home work. However, on my own time I prefer using a device that uses Windows

Do you prefer Mac or Windows?
Sincerely, Tahiry

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 05:01:30 am

Hey Tahiry!

That's cool that you get to bring home your Chrome Book, from people I've heard from, most schools let you bring it home your Chrome Book.

I'm more of a Windows fan, I don't like the design of a Mac Laptop/Desktop. Even though I am an apple fan instead of android. ^^

Hey Mai Thao,
My school also uses technology. Every student has a Chromebook provided, and we do a lot of work using technology. My old school used to be a Bring Your Own Device school, and we had to buy devices. That's why I have a Mac book at home, that I use a lot when I have free time. I don't like Chromebooks, and find them pretty limited. What's your favorite device? I really like my Mac Book Air, even though it's not made for gaming and I'm a big fan of video games.

11/14/2017 04:56:40 am

Hi Tristin!

My brother used to have a gaming laptop but then he bought a Mac Book Pro, even though he plays a lot of games. :D My favorite device would be my laptop at home which is a Asus Zen Book, it's very good!

I never had an experience with a Chrome Book before, how is it like? ^^

11/14/2017 05:40:05 am

Dear Mai, I really like how you let everyone else know about what kind of technology you have at your school. At my school we have a lot of computers and other things like that, but what I found interesting is what you said about having iPads during class and while my school has a couple iPads there are definitely not enough to go around. My question to you is, do you have a class at your school specifically for technology?
Sincerely,
Cohen

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 06:06:45 am

Hi Cohen!

Thanks a lot! :) My grade is the only grade that has enough IPads for everyone everyday. The grade 5 only get about 5 IPads. I'm not sure about the other grades. I know that some lower grades get one IPad Pro.

We don't have a subject dedicated to technology, but we do have computer class where we learn about lots of stuff.

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

I love your post and your writing style. At my school we use different applications than you do we are based on google applications such as google docs and google slides. We use laptops called chrome books, we also have desktops in our technology room too. Do you use laptops at your school?

Mai Thao link

11/14/2017 06:02:13 am

Hey Drew!

Thanks so much! In my class we don't use a lot of google applications. 90% of people in the comments said that their school uses Chrome Books. Which to me is quite funny!

Sadly, no we do not have any laptops at school, but sometimes our teacher does bring her laptop.

Hi Mai Thao,
I liked learning about your technology at your school. In my school we have computers in the library, chrome books in the classrooms and phones for virtual reality in technology. I enjoy all of these different things because like you said in your post it makes work easier. If I would have to choose my favorite piece of technology in my school it would be the chrome books. I would choose them because they are small and we can move them around where ever we need them. What is you favorite piece of technology in your school?
Sincerely,
Meredith

Mai Thao link

11/16/2017 06:18:21 am

Hi Meredith!

I can't believe your school has phones for virtual reality! That's so amazing. My favorite piece of technology at my school would be the IPads. Because they are fun to use and they are small and easy to carry around.

Best Regards,
Mai Thao

I've got to say, it seems like every school is using using some for of technology these days. Even out here in Senegal the local schools are trying to use more and more computers and other devices. At my school we all have personal chrome books. Furthermore we have projectors in the classroom and some of the classes have smart boards. We have a full course relating to digital technology and further electives.You obviously know how to use digital technology because your blog is great.

Thanks for the good work,

Hey Mai Thao,

I liked your post -- it says a lot about the presence of technology in our everyday lives. I thought that our school was using a lot of technology, but reading your post makes me realize that we're not the only ones. Do you think the use of technology is positive or negative to your learning? I believe it can be both -- it just depends on the student.

Thank you,

In my school we use a lot of electronic devices as well, the teacher tells us to search answers on internet instead of asking him/her. All our projects are on computers. We use Google and all its derivatives to check our homework, do our projects etc... But it is not always good to a electronic devices because sometimes you won't be focus in class. What I like about your post is that it applies to a majority of schools and that's good. Me I have a MacBook Air 2014, what kind of computer do you have and since when do you use it?

In my school, they give us personal computers that we can take home but we have to use them for school work.

This is a great post about technology! In our school, we use chromebooks and desktop computers. We don't use ipads like your school. We have used Prezi as well. Our homework involves a lot of computers too! We do projects for PBL (Project Based Learning) and we use other programs.

We have Chromebooks, that's actually what i'm typing on right now. Do you know what type of iPads you have?(like the 1st generation or the 2nd or stuff like that) You should check out my school blog. http://ajkgms24.edublogs.org/2017/11/20/a-school-in-the-us-and-japan/

Hey Mai Thao,
Like you, I am a millennial and modern technology is very present in my everyday life. My school has multiple different tools which range from: laptops, desktops, iPads, smart-boards and others.
With how much you use technology, do you find it monotonous or repetitive at certain points?
Sincerely, Christian

Hi!
I am hmskyla, and I think your post is great. I started off with an Ipad, but it was complicated so I switched to a computer. Yes I have made presentations on the computer. Most of my classmates use computers though some use Ipads too. Great job! Keep going :)

Hi Mai,

At our school from 6 grade to 12 grade, everyone is given a Chromebook(laptop) and the Chromebooks are our main device. The Chromebooks are even touchscreen. We need the Chromebook for almost all our class and most of our homework is done on our Chromebooks. So far I have done numerous school projects on my Chromebook. We don't really use any special application on our Chromebooks but we use Google Classroom, G-mail and Google Drive a lot. Do you think that using technology at school is actually useful?

Wow, I'm impressed by the amount of tech you guys use! If I was there, I'd go insane, since I love technology! At my school, we use Chromebooks, netbooks, smartboards - y'know just the traditional stuff. And as for the applications, we just use Google Docs and such. In fact, my 6th period science teachers is making us create and present biome slideshows. It's pretty much most of our grade.

Hey Mia, I am Nick. Your blog helped me realize how much my education related on education. At my school there are smart boards in every class, we are given Chromebooks (laptops) to help us with online homework, we are given ipads in tech class, and plenty other. I had a question though, do you think all these technology helps you learn and enjoy school more? checkout my blog on why I despise school, http://shimwaisd21.edublogs.org/.

I like how you gave examples, and I like how you explain to the reader what exactly technology might be, and how its used

Hey Mai Thao!
At my school, we use quite a bit of technology. We have smartboards or projectors in every classroom, we "have our own" laptops that we take home each day, and we use them a lot, too! If my school were to take all the laptops away, we would hardly be able to do anything! As for the iPads, we use them for certain projects, but we don't use them all that frequently. Sometimes, we are even allowed to bring our phones to school, but that almost never happens. Do you think that using technology makes people learn easier, or do you think that using a pencil, paper, and a textbook is the best way?

Thanks,
Connor

Hey, Mai Thao
It's cool how you can use iPads in the morning. At my school if we have phones and a teacher sees it we get them taken away, but we do use chromebooks for some of our work. Great Blog!
