I t is critically important that teachers and leaders are able to access, evaluate, and process information effectively to students on a normal basis. Communication is one of the most important keys to success in the field of education. Teachers use technology to enhance communication and make learning an hands –on experience for children. Students should have all the information that they need to have a excellent learning experience and that becomes possible when teachers are able to access, evaluate, and process information to children. In return, children will learn the same process and utilize these skills when they are engaging in independent learning. In my classroom, I plan on utilizing some of these skills with my students. For example, my children will have access to technology and the internet when they are in my classroom because I want them to be able to access all the information that they may need. Students need all the resources possible when it comes to learning because of different learning styles and techniques, The internet broadens the possibility for children to have enhanced resources that they can utilize in many different ways.
