Technology brings many benefits to our life. One of them is in education activity. With technology, we can create a visual learning environment. Using technology, teacher can present interesting media in his/her teaching process. Students also can look for materials in internet because of the technology improvement. Teachers and learners can go online to read or listen to materials about different way of interest (Motteram, 2013). Moreover, teaching and learning process also can be done through virtual class by using some applications.

Introducing technology’s use to students in middle school is important. Students need to know the benefit of technology for their education life. Furthermore, they can use technology more wisely. Using technology for students of middle school also helps them to adapt with new kind of learning process. If they get used to with traditional classroom, virtual classroom will be something new. This learning model will prepare them to study independently without teacher. So, they do not have to wait for teacher’s lecture in classroom, but they can have it through virtual class.
