Technology including computers allows you to problem solve in different ways. You can use numerous websites to help you look up definitions and pretty much any answer to a question. Besides using websites on computers, the applications available are most of the time easy to use and very helpful. As technology grows, so do the ways you can easily problem solve. The internet and computers can be used for all ages for all types of solutions and data. For example, the website mapquest is a very efficient tool to use for problem solving. It has many options for you to look up addresses, search for maps and looking up directions going to and from places.

__Technology to Affirm Diversity__ Technology can be a very helpful tool in exploring diversity. There are many websites available where you can explore different parts of the world and their culture or to explore different cultures in general. You can explore the way of life of different cultures and explore the differences that exist in this world. For example google language tools can be used to explore different languages. You can translate anything to numerous languages. This is a good tool to use because now a days you will see a few different languages spoken in a classroom and it is helpful to be able to understand the students that aren't fluent in your language. This website allows you to slowly learn the key words that are used daily by your students. []

__Lack of Technology in the Classrooms__ There are many schools that can't afford the basic needs of technology. That doesn't only affect the teachers and their lesson plans but also the students. Even though some people may think technology is just a distraction, there are many helpful tools available. When schools don't have the resources to purchase computers it may affect the students. Some schools can ask for donations of older computers that aren't used anymore by others or i have also heard of fundraisers being held to gather money for new resources. My goal in my own classroom is to have at least three computers in my classroom that will be available to the students. Also like it mentions in the article, I would like to have high speed internet instead of dial up, that way it will be able to move faster and the students will be able to work longer.
