"Technology is important to me because I am able to research and find the information I need online. Technology makes life easier. For example, writing assignments. When I want to change a sentence, you can delete the sentence no matter where the sentence is in the essay. If it was on paper, I would have to write the whole essay over. But I want unlimited internet access at home!"

"Technology use is important to me because that is how I find out my grades, homework, talk to my friends, collaborate with other students, type papers, do research and relax."

"Leaders, If students receive texts, emails, or IMs about quizzes, tests, assignments, and reminders it would be very helpful. Kids tend to forget their homework so this would help a lot."

"New technology better keeps students attention. We as students want to do something more than just write down notes on paper. We want to work with technology that will interest us and help us learn about upcoming technology. I feel the technology provides me with a fast and more productive way to get work done. "
