Do recent technological advances benefit educational experiences? from Student Reporting Labs on Vimeo.

When the student reporters with the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs ask their peers about implementation of technology in the classroom, Theron Williams, a student from Royal Oak High School says, “It’s almost like I can touch and feel the learning and information.”

This sentiment is exhibited by a recent study that shows that an overwhelming majority of teachers and administrators want to increase the use of technology in the classroom as a way to stimulate learning. Although, the teachers fully support the use of tech in their classrooms, they know they will need a helping hand from their students to help them traverse the ever changing landscape of technology.
