IMPORTANCE OF
TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
BY: LIZETH MAE S. DE LUNA
EDUC 2D
2015
FUNDAMENTAL REASONS WHY
TECHNOLOGY IS IMPORTANT
IN EDUCATION
1. EXPANSION OF TIME AND PLACE
Information technology allows learning
anywhere, anytime; not just in one
particular classroom for forty minutes a
day.
2. DEPTH OF UNDERSTANDING
Interactive simulations and illustrations can
produce a much greater depth of
understanding of a concept.
3. LEARNING VS. TEACHING
Key to this is the ability to get the
information they need any time
anywhere, without being in the
physical presence of a teacher. This
project-based pull approach makes
learning far more interesting for the
student.
4. NEW MEDIA FOR SELF-EXPRESSION
In the old days, students could write in a notebook, and what
they wrote was seen only by the teacher. Using modern
technology they can: Make a PowerPoint presentation,
record/edit spoken word, do digital photography, make a
video, etc..
5. COLLABORATION
A vital skill in the new digital world is the ability to work
collaboratively on projects with others who may not be
physically close. This can best be done using modern computer
tools such as the web, email, instant messaging and cell phone.
6. GOING GLOBAL
The worldview of the student can be expanded because of the
zero cost of communicating with other people around the
globe. The Internet permits free video conferencing which
permits interaction in real time with sister schools in other
countries.
7. INDIVIDUAL PACING AND
SEQUENCE
Students are, of course, all different.
Information technologies can permit them to
break step with the class and go at a pace
and order that suits that student better.
8. WEIGHT
Three textbooks and three binders easily
weigh over 25lb. A laptop computer weighs
about 5lb and provides access to infinitely
more material via its own storage and the
Internet.
9. PERSONAL
PRODUCTIVITY
A student's life is not much different
from any knowledge worker, and
they need similar tools. Even if they
are never used in the classroom,
portable personal computers will
make a student's (and teacher's)
life more effective.
10. LOWER COST
Through the use of open, free educational tools
on the web, the dependence on expensive paper
textbooks can be reduced.
