it enters a new learning environment
Technology plays an increasing role in education by helping students learn in multiple ways. It allows visual learners to see notes, supplements classroom curriculum with study tools, and lets students create presentations and research online. While technology is not the solution to education, it is a useful tool when implemented properly. Schools must spend adequately on teacher training to ensure technology enhances learning instead of becoming glorified displays. When used for collaboration, creativity, and developing skills like critical thinking, technology can make learning more dynamic and relevant for students.
Technology Use Vs. Technology Integration
The document discusses the differences between technology use and technology integration in education. Technology use refers broadly to using technology like coffee machines or the internet without an educational purpose. Technology integration involves using technology like the internet or multimedia to specifically teach curriculum in an engaging way, teaching both the subject and technology skills simultaneously. The goal of technology integration is to make learning more productive and enjoyable for students by incorporating tools they already use into classroom lessons.
