There are many good reasons to use technology in the classrooom. For example, putting children at computers, allows them to ask each other questions and figure out the technology by themselves. This is level one in the three steps of learning, "Knowing". They know the technology themselves.
Level two is "knowing how to" , which could be where i step in and teach them how to work with technology and help answer their questions that they can not figure out themselves.
Level three is "Understanding", this step allows me to watch them use the technology themselves and see them use it without asking questions, using it and understanding what they are suppose todo. taking what they learned and developing their minds.
Using technology can improve learning and instruction, it promotes the students to explore technology and learn how to use it themselves.
Using the technology won't improve their grades unless it's integrated into their learning enviroments.
