It would behoove school districts and individual schools to listen to the attitudes of students regarding pedagogy. Students within the United States are often raised to be receivers of information rather than to be consultants for education. Research is needed to identify if teachers' beliefs parallel students' beliefs when it comes to lessons in which teachers use interactive technology. The study described in this paper took place in a predominately suburban high school located in Southern California. Students from history classes were asked to participate in this study. Of the students who were asked, 73 completed the 17-question Likert Scale survey through Google Forms. The students who participated in this survey indicated they are very confident in using technology while accessing information daily from their smartphones. The students from the survey believe that teacher use of technology within the classroom is vital for their overall performance in life and indicated they thrive when teachers use technology in group work. When students are in groups and working on assignments, students become more attuned to the subject matter, especially when the teacher allows the content to be delivered via PowerPoints/Google Slides or by making a movie.
