<p dir="ltr">The integration of technology in classrooms has become increasingly prevalent, presenting both opportunities and challenges for educators. This study examines the impact of technology on student performance and behavior, particularly in seventh and eighth-grade classrooms. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to online learning, raising concerns about learning loss and disparities in access to technology. Using a needs-based assessment survey, this research investigates teachers' perceptions of technology's effects on student engagement, academic achievement, and retention of curriculum content. The study explores the positive and negative implications of technology use, as well as non-technological strategies employed by teachers to support student learning. Findings reveal that while technology offers benefits such as student-centered education and immediate feedback, it also poses challenges such as distractions and decreased engagement. The study underscores the importance of understanding how technology impacts student learning and behavior and provides insights for developing effective intervention strategies. By considering the perspectives of educators, this research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on technology integration in education and informs evidence-based practices for promoting student success in technology-rich classrooms.</p>
