For my research paper I am exploring how technology has greatly impacted the classroom as we know it to be. Technology has changed the way students communicate to other students as well as how students communicate to their teachers. This topic is important to me because I am an Education major here at Denison and am very interested in classroom dynamics and logistics. This topic is also important to the rest of the world because millions of children are attending schools on a daily basis and are constantly communicating with one another and their teachers. The education system is something that we will all encounter at some point in our life. This is also important because there has not been a lot of research on classroom dynamics and logistics as it relates to communication and technology. So this research will be groundbreaking in both the Education field and the Communication field. Also as the education system in the United States is under much scrutiny technology can be a huge tool for educators to have US schools back on top of the global sphere.
