YSD Technology

Why is technology (computers, ipads, iTouches, Google Apps, blogs, etc...) important in the education of our youth?

  1. Technology is a helpful tool that should be utilized in education. Why use outdated text books when you could get updated information at the click of the button, in a piece of equipment have its size and weight.

    Also while textbooks offer words and explanations, technology takes education to a new level. Not only are there many search engines that find answers to your question there are also thousands of images as well as live video that give explanations and tutorials. Also through the internet students can always be informed of the most up to date news and connect with the whole world.

    Overall technology is a very helpful tool that makes life easier for students and offers a lot of great opportunities to learn.

  2. These items give students in Yakutat the ability to reach beyond the classroom. Students can discuss a book with people around the world, they can access items from the classroom from wherever they have access to the web (Google tools), and they can have their voices heard by a global community.

    Isn't this the ideal learning opportunity?
