Impact of Technology Enhancement in Elementary School Classroom
Technology has become ubiquitous in the everyday lives of children and students at different stages of growth and learning, both inside and outside of the school environment. Technology allows students to democratize the classroom, experiment in pedagogy and better engage students. Most teachers and students have enthusiastically adopted the technological use in their classrooms for elementary learning and practices, although others have opposed the new deal because of the ethical issues which the rise of the new technology is associated with. Several debates have been organized to determine the importance of using a computer in developing the simple educational process in the classroom setting. Some argue that technology in the classroom can foster cheating and be distracting (Schaffer, 2017). Although several ethical issues surround the rise of computer-assisted technique in elementary learning, students have adversely improved their understanding of research process as well as shaped their attitudes towards handling complex matters which are related correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research paper.
Additionally, different forms of computer technology provide unique advantages over the previous learning process with the aim of enhancing potential teaching and learning process in the educational setting. Teachers reported that the use of technology in the elementary classroom learning has a positive impact on the student’s learning and instruction, showing that the technological skills is prudent in shaping the attitudes of the students towards taking on research papers which requires them to display computer literacy. Therefore, this paper focuses in discussing how information technology supports or makes possible biometrics and its various implementations, and potential ethical and privacy issues related to the use of biometrics.
Students’ Understanding of Ethical Issues Related to the Use of Information Technology through Research
Technology is rapidly advancing each year in the education setup making schools as well as the students to increase their understanding of ethical issues which are pertinent in research studies both inside and outside the classroom setting. It is assumed that the widespread use of technology in elementary education brings new and challenging ethical issues to the student, and without explicit attention towards the rise of computer learning understanding the research processes may flop (Schaffer, 2017). Most students have remained focused on how technology can expand or enhance their knowledge in the research process. As a result, this has helped them understand the connection between technology and their real life as a way of improving their research activities and learning concerning the available.
Teachers have remained crucial elements in the technological education system as well as research processes. According to O’Neal et al. (2017), there is mild responsibility in computing their understanding of the ethical issues that surround their research practices (O’Neal et al. 2017). The computer-assisted learning has made teachers explicit role models which are emulated by students during the learning process thereby reducing complexities which can be experienced in the carrying out other studies. Reducing ethical issues has been narrowed down to great care, sensitivity, commitment, the pursuit of truth and self- respect and honesty among others.
Moreover, most students have also learned all the possible harm of failure to follow the ethical rules while using computers. This guide from the teachers has allowed a proper understanding of the ethical research issues for better education internalization.
Use of the Technological Tools and Techniques within Word to Format a Research Paper
The rapid rise of computer-assisted learning in elementary school classroom has adversely shaped the student’s use of different tools and techniques in formatting their word research papers. Most students have developed specific interaction with the technological tools making their research papers to have proper formatting, especially about the required style. According to Derban (2016), computer-assisted learning has all the explanation that students may require to make their papers look good (Derban, 2016). Similarly, the use of technology in the elementary classroom has made the learning of different biometrics which is pertinent in research studies splendid. Students have also developed mild confident in handling different learning items due to the rise of technology at their disposal. Additionally, technology in the classroom has ensured the full participation of students. For example, online polling, as well as other tools, has improved the engagement levels of students in classroom activities for the realization of adequate feedback concerning their research papers.
In conclusion, technology has been viewed as a unified process which makes learning and research studies practical. The approach has countless resources for students and teachers which are necessary for enhancing elementary education as well as making learning more useful and fun. For instance, the availability of different apps and e-textbooks in the primary learning organizational platforms reduces ethical issues which derail the student’s acquisition of research processes. Additionally, the availability of technology in the classroom allows accessibility of fresh information among learners thereby reducing ethical issues which always makes learning complicated. Overall, technology in elementary classroom school enables both teachers and learner to develop coherent formatting techniques for the research papers.
