"Technology helps me with everything. It helps me learn, socialize, and be productive."
-- 9th Grade Girl, BIRDVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, TX |
"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."

"How can these websites help us? in a lot of ways. If teachers had accounts on facebook, myspace, or twitter then they could interact with their students and show what is coming up because many times students make bad grades due to the fact that the teacher doesn't remind them of an upcoming test or quiz, and mostly kids are always on facebook or myspace or twitter and it would be a good way to ask for help if someone doesnt understand something or to communicate with other people outside of school. Students and teachers should definitely be allowed to access these websites during school and laptops should be provided for the success of the students."

"Technology is important to me because I can write reports on Word rather than writing it by hand. Also you can look up information on something that you do not know about. You also can check your grades using an online school website. Lastly you can use online textbooks and not have to bring as many books home everyday."

"The importance of technology is everywhere we go. These days, without the use of such things like web sites to research things for reports, writing applications such as Word, and online textbooks, a great quantity of assignments could not be completed. With the use of technology we can move forward and use new things to create newer things that will benefit all future society."
