Students and Support for Technology in the Elementary Classroom

This paper explores the roles of students supporting technology in elementary classrooms. Students’ primary role in the classroom is not to support teachers, but with technology, teachers take advantage of support in many forms. This paper classifies the ways in which students were found to support technology in the classroom, taking advantage of their expertise to help the teacher and other students. In some cases, students’ efforts provided positive benefits to the teacher and other students, and in other cases, the students’ efforts caused more problems than they solved.
