Editor's Notes
Although technology is great thing to use in the classroom, especially as it grows. These new advances can be distracting to the students from what they should really be doing at school, learning.
Children of all ages are starting to become engaged in new technology's at younger and younger ages. Because of this more schools are incorporating these technology's into the classrooms and the teaching of different subjects. Although these new technologies are great tools to have and a positive outlook to this new generation, can it be taking the top spot in schools over learning?
Some parents are wondering if when using these technologies the students are paying more attention to the computer or other high tech tools more than what they are supposed to be learning. Teachers even seem to be focusing more on the technology part of some subjects in school which can become confusing to some students as more and more is piled on.
Over time the amount of technology used in the class room has grown significantly, especially in these last few years.
In a classroom students can easily navigate away from what they are working on to another less productive site. Also children this can be more challenging for students that need to see it being done in real life or hear it out loud to grasp the concept trying to be learned over a computer or other technology.
To prevent things like students going on to inappropriate websites or playing games, schools should block certain sites to help students stay focused on what they need to be doing.

While some students claimed they used these new technologies for homework and educational purposes, most used it for socializing and playing games, not school related.
Although the growth of technology in our schools is a great thing, what is used in the classroom needs to be monitored and used for the sole purpose of teaching.
