The Advantages of Technology in the Classroom

Today, while I was reading The Advantages of Technology in the Classroom, the author pointed out five ways of having more technology use in classrooms can help students prepare for the real world. Those five ways are:
1. Accessing Information
2. Editing of Written Works
3. Providing Supplementary Information
4. Communicating
5. Motivating Students
By the students using these 5 ways with technology in the classrooms, when it comes time to them entering into the real world, they will be fully prepared and will always have the information they need for things ahead of time. The most popular ways that have helped students prepare for life after high school would be the way to access your information faster and the way to provide supplementary information to others better and faster. I think another advantage of having technology in the classroom would be to be able to learn something new about technology before anyone else and getting hands on at the first sight. Having the advantage to getting a new technology and using it before anyone else is a priveledge and a right.
