Today's young children are increasingly exposed to technology. There is currently much debate about whether or not technology is a positive element in the classroom and whether it is beneficial for students. According to McManis (2012), technology has been present in classrooms for many years now, but “the development of new technologies and their presence in classrooms is increasing rapidly” (p. 1). Technology in the classroom affects children because it can either advance their knowledge and integrate different learning methods or be used to replace the teacher. Technology can also be used to integrate different learning tools to teach children with specific needs. Technology, if used effectively, can produce very positive results and introduce new ways of learning in the classroom. New technology used in the classroom in recent years has changed the way children interact and engage with technology. Technology is no longer used as a resource for research but is integrated into programs and has become a learning tool. According to McManis (2012), researchers have found that “computer use supports and increases young children's skills in social, cognitive, language, literacy, writing, and mathematics” (p. 2). Technology empowers children and helps them research and discover topics on their own. Although technology is a great learning tool, it is important that it is used with an educational component. In order for technology to be used to its full potential in the classroom, it is important that a teacher assists and guides students and provides them with specific programs and tools. Technology is very beneficial in that it can be used in the classroom as a tool for students with different ways of learning. Research has shown that technology is a great educational tool
