Technology and Education
The technology has done tremendous things on our
society today particularly in the field of education. In medieval
times, books were rare and only an elite few had access to
educational opportunities. Today, massive amounts of books,
audio, images, and videos, are available at one’s fingertips, the
opportunities for formal learning are available online
worldwide, access to learning opportunities today is
unprecedented in scope thanks to technology, So, It has to be
understood that the schooling system has been positively
impacted as both students and teachers are now able to perform
their task efficiently (Collins, 2013). The using technology is
becoming a universal medium and source for most of the
information that flows through eyes, will be facilitate the
process of education on widely and availability of computers in
schools these days has enabled students and teachers have
unlimited access to many categories of education. The advances
in the technology are very helpful in distance learning and
transforming the way people are educated.
I think the technology has helped a lot in raising the
understanding level of students and improving education in
many ways, it is good tool in building interest in studies as a
result students' attendance is increased in institutions which
availing technology education. "Technology can give teachers
and students great resources, new opportunities for learning,
ways to collaborate and create, and save money. Technology is
a very powerful tool for education" (David Andrade, 2009). The

education in many ways, of which active Learning Interactive
technologies supply stimulating environments that encourage
student involvement in the learning process, there are many
studies that support the advantages of using multimedia to help
students construct knowledge and work cooperatively.
Interactive technologies aid teachers with creating new learning
environments.
Let’s look at assistive education technology and how that
can the improve the functional capabilities of a child with a
disability. Online learning, can offer disabled students some
additional perks, most notably the convenience and flexibility to
accommodate individual needs and the people separated by
distance and time and often do not include consideration of the
needs of people with disabilities. In fact, the design of many
distance learning courses erects barriers to the full participation
of students and instructors with some types of disabilities.
Introduction of any new tool into academia is a matter of
great interest among educators, this is particularly evident when
the tool is technology and the domain of academia. The teachers
already shoulder tremendous responsibilities; technology can
create an equitable and efficient system that supports both
teaching and learning. It is also a universal language
transcending geographic, cultural and professional barriers, it
can improve educational productivity by accelerating the rate of
learning because of absence of time boundaries and can thus
utilize teacher time better. Education by technology can help
the teacher communicate with students and parents on a
continuous basis, and this in turn creates a teacher-student-
parent triad partnership that can further academic causes. Most
of all, the introduction of technology into the classroom is a
collective learning process with teacher's role cannot be Ignored
simply in technology-Based education "Technology Changes
Teaching, Not Teachers" (Ellen M., 2000).
Despite the fact technology has revolutionized education,

3. we also need to make sure it is used accordingly as it also has
some negatives. School TV, computers and technological
learning platforms, as well as tablets like iPad, were thought to
bring the required change in education beyond recognition
(Reigeluth, 2016). A closer look at some studies makes one
realize that the practice of classroom has remarkably remained
stable in recent times. This does not mean that the researchers
have been against technology in education. All they have done
is to emphasize the need for us to make careful use of
technology in our schools for success and the best method for
improving educational standards is to utilize from the
technology, as compared to some disadvantages of technology
there are a lot of benefits which makes it worth applicable in
our lives. Also, the technology itself can fail, so technology
must not take the place of teacher in education. Educational
technologies are widely utilized in Universities and colleges
and it has a positive response but still there are some people
who believe that technology has lessened teacher's share in
classroom and one day technology will replace teachers, but it
is merely a misconception. The teacher is still a plays more
important role than computers and other technology.
