” Having these devices in the classroom creates an almost irresistible

temptation.
With tablets or laptops, the temptation to click through to something unrelated
to the classroom is real. Even with content filters, the teacher will struggle to
maintain the attention of the student when devices are ubiquitous in the
classroom.
At the very most, we must be cautious and thoughtful when it comes to using
technology in education. It is not an obvious good. We must consider to what
degree the technology might be more efficient, but less useful as to tool to
learning. True, deep learning takes time. Good things take time. It takes time
for the mind to sit with ideas and let them ripen. It takes time for the mind to
acquire new material, to embody a new skill, or deepen understanding. We
must not let technology supplant superior, if less advanced, tools.
With technology, educators, students and parents have a variety of learning tools at
their fingertips. Here are some ways in which technology has improved education over a
“span of time. Technology supports learning 24×7 and builds 21 st century skills. It
expands course offerings and learning materials. Teachers can now communicate with
others across the world, meet the shortcomings of their work, thus providing their
students with the best. Technology gives students immediate access to abundance of
quality information which leads to learning at a much quicker rate than before.

The internet provides a variety of knowledge and doesn’t limit students to one person’s
opinion. Explaining a lesson with the help of audio or visual aids helps in deeper
understanding and better clarification.

Education is one of the most important professions in the working world.

Technology has done many things for us in today’s society especially for
education and schools. Technology in the school system has impacted the
students and teachers in many positive ways, including virtual field trips,
testing tips, teacher resources, class web sites, and lesson plans. With
computer use in our schools, we have access to many different sources and
various types of learning.

 Technology won’t replace all teachers but teachers who use technology
effectively will probably replace teachers who do not. Students ideas of
learning, working, and living.
  If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of
tomorrow. –John Dewey
 Catalysing the humanistic approach
Exploring the use of digital technologies gives educators the opportunity to design
engaging learning o pportunities in the form of face to face, blended or fully online
courses. Advantages to this approach can include a more engaging face-to – face
learning experience access to educational content at a time or location that is
convenient to the learner and the option of a more personalised learning experience.
2. Enable more interaction between learners and educators, both inside and outside of the classroom.

3. Gives the ability to assess students in different ways and improve their engagement with quicker,
more relevant and ore contexualised feedback.

4. Provide well-integrated combinantions of digital and conventional modes of learning.
