Educational Software and Hardware in the Classroom

Software and Hardware in the classroom is beneficial if used properly. Teachers should make an effort to train themselves on proper, innovative and efficient uses of technology in their lessons. Students today are so tuned to technology and it is an integral part of their life so teachers should take advantage of that to meet the needs of the students and appeal to their interests.



The major roadblock to the software and hardware availability in the classroom is, as with most innovation, economic. Many districts cannot afford new hardware or software or are in old facilities that are not prepared to handle this. It is unfortunate but true and this means teachers have to be even more innovative in properly using one or only a couple of computers to serve a class of 20-30 students.
