WHY
TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION?
Ours is
a fast-changing world. Everything happens in a blink of an eye. For us not to
be left out we must always keep abreast of what's the latest. We have already
proven the worth of teaching the traditional way. Why not couple it with
something that will make our educational system better, if not the best? With
the latest technology comes the hope of uplifting the learning of every
student.
The
integration of technology in the educational system aims to enhance the
learning process of the young learners. The following are the reasons why we
should include technology in education:
1.
INTERACTIVE
LEARNING
In a traditional classroom setting, the
teacher is the source of information. With the use of technology, the students
can now be active participants in the learning process. Learning now becomes a
two-way process.
2.
EASY-TO-ACCESS
COURSE MATERIALS
Before, we rely much on books when we want
to refer to something. But now, with the aid of modern technology, we already have
a lot of reference materials that we can use, ranging from database to e-books,
even online encyclopedias.
3.
MOTIVATION
The use of modern technology creates a new
atmosphere inside the classroom. This creates variation as compared to the
routinely manner of teaching the students. Thus, this motivates the students to
participate actively and learn more.
4.
IMPROVE
LEARNING AMONG THE STUDENTS
The aim of providing technology in
education is for the improvement of learning among the students.
5.
AID THE
TEACHERS IN TEACHING
With the help of software and other computer
programs, teacher’s lesson can be presented in manners that will not anymore
consume much of the time as compared with the traditional mode of teaching.
6.
LESSONS
ARE PRESENTED IN A MORE SOPHISTICATED WAYS
Say goodbye to chalk and board, and say
hello to powerpoint presentations and other modes of presenting the lesson.
(Although some classrooms still have chalks and boards, just in case needed)
