Education is the key to success. Education has been the building blocks of our nation. The United States has a system with three mandatory levels of education. These levels include elementary, middle, and high school. An upper education would include attending a college or universal after graduating from the mandatory public high school. Many things affect the United State education system. These things include what shape the economy is in, what part of the United States the school in located, or the technological advancements. Of the list above I believe that technological advancements had the largest effect on the nation as whole. This essay will touch on the different ways that technology effects education.

Reflection:

Throughout this process I have changed my line of inquiry multiple times. After much deliberation that I discussed in my last reflection I have decided the mine line of inquiry is how does technology effect education? Through my research I have found that there are multiple arguments on the different ways that education is affected. These thought include technology being a distraction in the classroom, technology affecting the attitudes of teachers and their students, and technology allows students creativity to flourish. Gathering more information on each of these viewpoints I found that this question is even more debatable then what I originally thought. I am now more interested in research the other viewpoints of this question and weigh the pros and cons of technology in the classroom.
