In the 21st-century technology has been influencing every aspect
of our lives including the way of education. The textbooks have been replaced
by the tablets and the board we used to deliver the lessons has been changed to
a smartboard and all the credit has to be given to the technology. Due to the
advancement of technology students will no longer be forced to carry their 3 to
4-kilogram backpacks to the school and instead, they can have their books
available in their tablets. Using technology in class has many benefits in the
education process.
Technologies make teaching more
fun
Imagine a class of 33 students
being thought by using textbooks and a black/whiteboard only. It would be
devastating and lots of disruptive behaviors may arise. But when technology is
introduced into the classroom than the students are motivated and due to many
flexible technological types of equipment, the teaching becomes interesting and
more fun. When a teacher uses a projector or smart board to teach teacher could
include more interesting and fun activities than teaching a traditional method
of teaching. In the classroom, it is very important to create a positive and
fun environment.
Improves knowledge retention
When students enjoy this will
make them remember the knowledge longer. When students are actively involved in
learning using technologies they can understand the concept quickly and can
make the knowledge to stay with them for a longer time.
Encourage individual learning
Different people learn
differently due to their individual differences and ability levels. When no
two students can learn the same amount of information in the same teaching method
than it is nearly impossible that traditional teaching methods will make more
students achieve the learning goals. This makes the teacher’s job harder and
those to feel depressed. All these problems can be achieved if the technology is
used as a mode of teaching since technology can be used to cater for individual
needs. By using the internet and different teaching tools the low ability student
can also be turned in the track.
Connects with students
Technology occupies an important place within students’ lives. Now
teachers do not have to worry that they were not able to assign holiday
assignment before the holiday or they could not give the marks before the final
examinations since with technology in your class it does not stop if there is no
school even. All the time students and teachers can be connected and can have
conversations outside their class. This brought a good relationship between the
teacher and the students.
It is true that in the 21st century it is impossible to succeed
without technology by your side. Even though technology plays a master role in
education, it is important to remember that the traditional method of teaching is
also an essential part of education. Without face to face interactions between the
teacher and the students, no technology can fill the gap. It is also important
to remember that if the technology is not used wisely no matter how important it
is, it can turn good into bad.
