Technology is the next education

Technology is a resource designed for use on online platforms. People use it for a variety of

reasons including entertainment, but mostly education. Technology has given education a

chance to thrive in ways it never has before. In Clive Thompson article he states in Andrea study

that “we are in a midst of a literacy revolution the likes of which we have not seen since Greek

civilization.” Technology has made a positive impact on education because it enhances student

learning, increases student motivation, and encourages collaboration in class.

Technology has had a significant impact on improving student learning. In the article “ on the

new literacy” ( Thompson 87) quotes Andrea Lunsford “todays youth writes far more than any

pervious generation.” If it wasn’t for high tech in todays society our world wouldn’t be where It

is now. Children wouldn’t have the sources to expand their knowledge that technology created.

For which is also a sense of reality.Our life has changed for the better. Lunsford also quoted

“prior to the Internet most Americans never wrote anything that was in a school assignment.

Except if they took a job that obligated them to produce text. (Thompson 37). Many adults now

grew up with out the internet. They never had a chance to experience life Growing up with it or

the ability it had in classrooms. Especially the impact it had student motivation.

For example, if it weren’t for technology, student motivation would be much lower. Kurzweil

Blog team quoted a fifth grade teacher as saying, “technology Is the ultimate carrot for

students. It’s something they want to master. Learning to use it enhances their stuff esteem

and makes them excited about coming to school.” Because tools like tablets and laptops

encourage interactive hands-on learning technology in the classroom empower students to

take greater control of their education. There’s several ways to increase student motivation by

using many tactics like videos independent research and podcasts everything that’s listed gives

children teenagers access 2 a lot of resources that they can use to feel comfortable.

Technology made a amazing impact on education by encouraging collaboration in classrooms.

Source says that “Majority of the learning process occurs outside the classroom. The main
 Lozada 3

reason why this happened is because of the interaction. People learn through action, instead of

learning passively(critical-link .com). It also states that technology promotes active engagement

to something that students and educators adapted to outside of class. If a student is

comfortable with that one resource it should be the thing that motivates him or her to achieve

the goals that they want to achieve. According to “How important is technology in Education”

Blog. “Teachers can help students acquire the necessary skills to succeed in the careers of the

future.” We would not be where are now, if it weren’t for this resource. Which provides

individual and Children With opportunities not just in the real world but also in classrooms.

Many can argue that technology is a bad resource for learning. However my position is strong

Because technology gave not only adults, but children and teenagers a system they can trust.

Technology has its ups and downs, but the ups are always there giving reasons to adapt to the

digital learning environment. It gave the world, a convenient and measurable learning tool.

Because having that learning environment might lead to increased satisfaction and reduced

stress. And, because the benefits it offers to the classrooms, technology should be used on a

daily basis in schools. And the rest of the world.

Finally, Technology is a resource that is intended for usage on Internet platforms. We should all

use this great resource to help alter the world for the better. It will establish a happy core. I’m

hoping that this message has a positive impact on people thinking. Although it’s easy to see

why people can’t disagree on the fact that technology is a good resource for education there is

too much information and evidence, That shows that children already have a lot of access to

the media even, their parents or just random adults. Yes, it can have its Down but it can also

ensure safety and give helpful usage to education.
