**Education Everywhere: Finland’s Formula for School Success**

Mitchell Browns Review on: Education Everywhere: Finland’s Formula for School Success The most inspiring factor of the film was that every teacher was very focused on the well being of the individual student. The integration of technology used in the schools of Finland start early in the classroom. The goal is to find the students that may need extra help or “special” learning environments. The use of technology in the classroom helps determine the students understanding and the keeps the student more engaged in the course material. Once the students that struggle are identified they are placed in a special working environment with teachers geared to use technology to help their struggling students understanding.

My Opinion on Technology in the Classroom Technology in the classroom is as important as the pencil. However, I feel that with this great tool available to student’s fingertips there will be greater abuse of the technology. I do not think technology is the answer to the creation of the best student, but it is a stepping-stone in the right direction. I believe that technology should only be used in the classroom. An online class that places a student in a different environment that cannot be controlled is a dangerous and misleading reality. Online classes will never be able to determine the character or the heart of a student. This is just as or more important than data gathered on a student known only to his teacher as a number. Once I am a teacher I will bring my subject to life for my students with hands on learning. If I am able to teach graphics design the integration for technology is limitless. As the world evolves so must our students. The fundamentals of this technology will be learned more in school and then applied after.
