Susan Berg wrote about ​Exemplary Technology Use in Elementary Classrooms. She

completed her research over southwesteren Ohio and the use of technology in the elementary

classroom. Susan gathered the majority of her information by giving out surveys to various

different elementary school teachers over the use of technology in their classrooms. Within the

questionnaire Susan asked the various teaches to list the importance of technology within their

own classroom. Susans focus was to inform teachers about the use of technology in the

classrooms.

Susan Berg was a graduate at the University of Dayton. Therefore the information

gathered during this research was relevant to our area. This article was found on EBSCOHost

through the Sinclair Database.

I plan to use this article to provide me with evidence on how the teachers feel about

technology in their classroom. As well as providing the different ways the teachers provide

technology in their classroom.

Dickens, Ethan Talks, TEDx. ​YouTube​, YouTube, 2 Apr. 2015,

Ethan Dickens is a student in High School. He goes into depth with the three different

learning styles that his teacher performed in his algebra class. If these three things could be

followed in each of the classrooms in schools then technology in the classrooms would not be

such a bad idea. This could be beneficial because all students would go through the three
different styles and succeed at learning the new material because we know that each and every

student learns differently.

I plan to use this source to help show how technology in the classroom is beneficial for

students in the way they learn. Visually seeing it happen while listening to the process happen

and completing it while someone is showing you how it happens hits all three of the learning

styles in teaching children.

Technology in the classroom has become more and more acceptable in today's society.

SethGillihan wrote about technology in the classroom with the question of is it helping or

harming students in the classroom. Seth Gillihan is a professor at a college who had taught for

many years. The information that was provided to his readers or teachers and the general public

was meant to just inform them.

I plan to use the information in the article to give my readers a source of evidence on how

teachers believe that technology within the classroom is harming the student learning process.
Knapp, Ellie, Interview June 20, 2019

Ellie Knapp is a teacher within the Clark County schools. She is on her third year

teaching so she is relatively new to teaching. However, she has been working the schools and

daycares for the last nine years. She mentioned to me that technology in the classrooms are

evolving each and every year. In her classroom now, you will see more technology available to

her students than her first year of teaching.

I plan to use the knowledge that she has seen over the years in my research paper. As

well as the different types of technology she uses and how she sees it benefiting as well as

harming her students learning process.

Lynch, Matthew, et al. “The Dark Side of Educational Technology.” ​The Edvocate,​ 16 Aug.

2018, ​www.theedadvocate.org/dark-side-educational-technology/​.

Matthew Lynch wrote an article on the harmful effects of technology in the classroom.

His main focus point was students grade k-12. He focuses on the negative side of technology in

the classroom as well.

I plan to use this website to provide my readers with evidence as to why technology in

classrooms can be harmful to their learning process.

Amanda Ochoa writes a journal over the issues of long term and short term teachers as

well as full and part time teachers. Most people wouldn't think that teachers impact the usage of

technology in the classroom. However, they do because the longer the teachers have been in the
field and the most tip and tricks they have. The longer the teachers have been teaching the more

they know about what works and doesn't work with students and technology.

Haya Shamir wrote an article about the usage of technology in elementary classrooms. The main

focus points in her article are about student academic skills. The research that was conducted in

article was over kindergarten and first graders. They had both a controlled group and a non

controlled group. Over the two years they learned words, one group learned over technology

while the other did not. With the results being in the experimental group performed better than

those who were in the control group.

I plan to use this source as evidence as to why the use of technology in the classroom is

beneficial to the student learning process. The study that was completed provides valuable

evidence to help the learning process in students.
