Why Technology in Education?


Educational technology should apply in the different schools. It Has Enriched Teaching Strategies, through the use of technology it help stimulate young minds by making learning fun. The Internet allows students to explore whole new worlds in real time. There hardly a subject which can't benefit from the resources available on the web. Gifted, creative teachers stimulate young minds. They light the fire and capture the imagination. They always have and always will. Technology is just one more tool, albeit a most useful one, in the serious teacher's portfolio of teaching tools.
Computers are terrific for remediation. Boring math drills like times tables and the endless lists which are a cornerstone of any language's grammar all can be rehearsed on the tireless, patient computer. We all know that practice makes perfect. And through the use of technology Communications improved. Email benefits students and faculty alike by permitting almost instantaneous exchange of ideas and information. It's easy to use. Twitter still offers more ways to keep in touch. Facebook can easily send and receive some documents that can easily access the students. Technology makes it easy to stay connected. Technology merely enhances a teacher's ability to inspire and stimulate young minds.
