I believe technology in education is extremely important. Using technology in education is beneficial, rewording, and exciting. Technology is a gateway to more information that is difficult too access.
Personally, I have had numerous good experiences when it comes to using technology to further my education. I use technology to perform research and answer difficult questions. The internet connects numerous informational resources and puts those resources at my fingertips. I use technology while I am performing research for papers, studying for exams, or just answering questions that I am puzzled on. I do not think a day goes by where I do not use technology to further my education.
I expect technology will only get more advanced in time and these advancements will be beneficial in education.
Technology is definitely a pro in education and makes learning easier, this is the bottom line. Like previously mentioned, the internet connects numerous informational resources and puts those resources at the fingertips of the person performing research. This makes research easier and thus making technology beneficial in education and learning.
The only con I can think of when it comes to technology in education is that it makes students lazy. I doubt many young students have ever used a dictionary or an encyclopedia.
Hmm... I used a dictionary this evening. But, it was electronic rather than paper. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that technology can make learning easier. It also can make it more fun. I don't think, however, that just using technology solves all problems. It must be the right technology at the right time.
