If I had to write an essay about this topic, I would write it in this way:

Technology inside classrooms:
Teachers use modern technology to assist them in their teaching activities. For example, teachers can use a projector to play PPTs or videos. In this way, students can learn more efficiently.

Technology outside classrooms:
Students can use online resources to help them learn more knowledge.
For example:
1. Using a search engine,just in a few seconds students could solve a mathematical puzzle which might take a student several weeks to search and research in a school library.
2. wikipedia is something we can talk about.
3. Online courses/videos could be another thing worth mentioning. Personally, I learn English from some Youtube videos posted by Ryan!
4. We also got this fantastic online forum through which we can help each other. We can discuss and argue with a guy who live in another country, which we could not even imagine 20 years ago.

There are really a lot to talk about.......
