Abstract
Learning ‘using’ technologies has become a widely accepted phenomenon. The combination of education and technology has pioneered a stone for human progress. The national governments and non-governmental agencies who fund educational endeavours in developing countries have supported the use of new technologies to reduce the cost of accessing education by children and adults lacking in education. But, the rapid emergence of new technologies has brought certain uncertainties too. If these new technologies at a time of dramatic population increase continue to produce more and more with less and less labor input then the world is headed with hundreds of millions of marginalized humans. The current need of the world is having a skill

By using studio and technology, learning task is enhanced. One should be a professional practitioner of one’s chosen subject area by disseminating it further. Use of new technology in teaching and tutoring engages teachers but it also creates certain scepticism. By embedding new technology time to time, the teacher has to meet new challenges which can be an extra burden for him/her. Some teachers feel threatened by new technology and experience; this may make the teacher superfluous. Most people are reluctant to learn the technical aids as these are complicated. Their complication leads to dissatisfaction and frustration and often becomes a barrier for further use. So these should be easy to handle. Their easy handling as well as sufficient knowledge about the technology results in increased motivation of …show more content…
Advantages of Technology in Education
With the advancement in Technology, the world has become a better place as well as lives are better and easier, especially in the fields of science, medicine and education. Promotes independent learning in students: With the help of internet, students can search information. They can look up their lessons online without assistance from parents and teachers. Unlike regular textbooks, electronic books and web-based content are updated in real time. One can study anytime irrespective of time bounds whether day or night and anywhere irrespective of India or US. Prepares students for the future: The coming time is digital and technology-focused, so students using technology should cultivate skills necessary to handle innovative devices and processes. Lowers textbook and tuition prices: With resources more accessible and in great abundance, the cost of textbooks as well as tuition is likely to
The Benefits of Technology in School in a Technological Society The Tennessean published Lisa Fingeroot’s article, “Nashville schools push for more technology,” in November of 2012. She discussed the benefits of technology that include, making learning fun with its inclusive methods, Fingeroot believes technology can improve the quality of education nationwide, and provides a very interactive and personal way for students to learn. She states that Kecia Ray, executive director of Metro schools’ learning technology department and president-elect of International Society for Technology in Education, has the goal of presenting a plan that provides technological access to more students. The first thing a reader notices to an article is the title.
With technology, students can learn at home instead of in government schools, and they are able to learn at their unique pace, and process more information because it is readily available to
This generation no longer have to keep remembering every single material they are learning. Or have to go back to the library and spend hours to find the book they used for an assignment. As Kosil and Marcel say, “We are gradually changing from a nation of callused hands to a nation of agile brains … Insofar as new information technology exercises our minds and provides more information, it has to be improving thinking ability” (Source B). This shows people have technology right between their finger tips which enables them to think beyond just the facts. It is no longer only sticking to the facts.
Another advantage is the technological advancements have made so access to information, communication, learning and knowledge are easier to obtain. A perfect example is e-learning which was not even a notion conceived while I was in high school. Another advantage is the mass production of computers for general use which school incorporated as a means to distribute their curriculum to the masses. When I was in high school my mother had a typewriter. You’d clicked away at the keys praying you didn’t make an error, inevitably you had to use white out to correct any mistakes you made or if you didn’t have any you had to retype your assignment from scratch.
The change of speed in today’s society has increased dramatically, we are expected to process information at a faster rate. There is no time to sit and read new information, we want to be flooded with new information fast. While the technology in the world has increased most schools are moving slower. Most schools do not have up to date technology for their students to succeed in the real world. We can say this is a good thing to have less technology in school, because we can go back to the old days and research of the books.
al.). Whether we like it or not, technology is here, and here to stay, so it is imperative that students are allowed to use it freely in the classroom, “78 percent of students believe the internet helps them with school work” (Lenhart, et. al.) indicating that students are not simply using the internet for their personal pleasure, they are using it to better themselves in their education. Technology is here, and here to stay, students everywhere are using it, and for even less than half of the schools in the United states to believe that it is causing their students to be in a “cave”, it would give those students an unfair disadvantage in life after high school because they would lack the skills necessary in the current work force.
Although technology could be beneficial for education or communication, it leads to an overuse of resources which will change the way people
Technology really helps students improve their time management when it comes to studying. Finally, without technology students end up wasting extensive periods of time in search for specific information that they could have otherwise quickly and easily found on the Internet within a few
Nowadays, the world has changed. The world now are modern because of the power of technology. People may not have a good life without this technology because of people nowadays are dependence on technology mostly. As we know,the technology are created to make our life more better, easier and comfortable.

In the classroom, technology can encompass all kinds of tools from low-tech pencil, paper, and chalkboard, to the use of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration and conferencing tools, and more. The newest technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. Today, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to teach without technology and how hard it is to learn without it. Technology plays a major part in our lives as students.
In addition, due to the wide developments of technology it also affects the educational system where it leads to the improvement of the teachers and students to become more flexible in learning new ideas or knowledge. The 21st century curriculum also helps to improve the way of testing the student’s needs and performances, give different ways of classroom management and it also improve the ability and skills of the students in dealing with their problems. Technology in the 21st century is not a separate subject to teach therefore technology is a tool to aid education and
Digital learning has various effects on the academic performance of the students and this digital learning can help the students to improve their performance in the classroom. Digital learning really makes the students work easier. Because of this, the students may have an advanced knowledge by easily searching their lesson using this technology. With this digital technology, it gives more information to the students to gain more knowledge about their school works. There are lots of technology that were integrated into the classroom that help the students learn with comfort, and that allows the student to gain and recall more information.
