How much technology should be provided to students and teachers?

We live in a technology-based world, so using technology should be second nature. However, just because something CAN be done, it need not necessarily BE done. Learning should involve interaction and collaboration. If technology enhances that, then go for it. If, on the other hand, a quiet face-to-face discussion is called for, it is much better to interact in person. Social skills are sharpened by body language, unlike online discussions which sharpen critical thought.
Thers a pressing  need of access to the internet to both the students and the teachers presently .Most schools encourage their students to use internet.Their work is from the books found online,their research is also from online.To most parents it has become an expense to buy thier children notebook computers.
Computer skills have become very essential both in school and at the workplace .By equiping students with this skill they are able to go with some confidence in the workplace .Moreover nowadays most companies look for people who are computer literate.So for those who have the knowhow jobs are easy to find.
Computers need maintainance,this may slow down some students .Until the computers are fixed that is when they can continue thier lessons.Young children may lack the responsibility to use the computer properly.

As much as possible, technology teaches students in a way that just words can't.
