Middle School Technology Essay

Middle School technology has always been known to be archaic until Sherwood Middle School decides to get a major technology upgrade. Their old technology was very outdated and not efficient for the job at all. That is why they got the new technology upgrade. The new technology is very efficient in cost and in the workroom for students. Most say the new technology is so helpful to students in what they learn and how efficiently they learn it. The old technology that was in the school was extremely outdated and was so un-efficient. SMS used to have projectors and cameras which were used to show the class assignment. The projectors were not the very best choice, says one the the SMS students. The bulbs in the projectors were most of the problem because it burns out almost five times every year. These bulbs cost about eighty dollars to replace which adds up to about four hundred and fifty dollars! Plus on top of that when the bulb burns out it is a fire hazard. One student says, last year in the middle of class the bulb burned out and the machine started smoking which then lead to a small fire! So overall these projectors were a very poor choice of technology because they were very un-efficient in cost and they also weren't very safe.

The new technology is so much more efficient is many
ways. The biggest and best part of the upgrade is the new monitors in every classroom. They are so much better and more efficient in so many ways.They are very classroom friendly and are completely mobile. Also, there is no chance of anything burning up and nothing will need to be replaced for a while. The cost is extremely low compared to the old monitors and cameras too! The new technology is truly an efficient upgrade.

The new monitors help the students in the classroom in so many ways.
Most of the SMS students would agree. One of the best pros of the monitors is they are completely mobile so they can be moved to the best place for everyone. Also they can just be at the front of the room unlike the old projectors which had to be in the middle and take up space. Even though the monitors are not as big as the old projected image the picture is alot clearer and easier to read. Plus, maybe in the future the school could upgrade to multiple monitors in the room so that the students could get more assignments done in less the time. This is all the more reason why the new upgrade was a good
choice.

Everyone at SMS can probably agree that the new technology upgrade was a very smart upgrade. The new monitors are so much better with many things like cost efficiency and productivity. Not to mention safety. I think we can all agree that the Sherwood Middle School made a smart decision by getting the upgrade.
