    The Importance of Technology to 21st Century Learners Essay

    Throughout history technology has been the driving force of change.


    From movable type, to television, to the Internet, technology has been
    embraced and incorporated into our daily lives. Within the constructs of
    civilized society, the vast rewards of technological innovations have far
    outweighed the negatives. The digital revolution has altered conceptions
    of time and distance. It has created a wealth of information that is
    available at the stroke of a key. Not since the invention of the printing
    press has the distribution and consumption of information been so
    democratized. The rapidly changing technological landscape has put
    students and teachers in the cross-hairs. Can students be positively
    impacted by this digital revolution?…

    Digital technologies would have an effective impact in all key areas in


    education such as learner motivation, professional development,
    teaching and learning activities if they are used properly. The
    introduction of technology into the classroom would offer new learning
    experiences which require learners to develop new information
    management skills. Those students who use a networked learning
    environment would develop discovery-based, student-centered
    learning through a range of collaborative and individualized activities.
    Students have become more active, independent and teachers have
    taken on a more facilitative role. Mobile technologies like Ipad, Iphone
    and IPod appeal to students and excite them more than traditional
    chalk-and-talk learning methods, and consequently they can improve
    student learning experience. They give greater engagement and
    outcomes, and increase independent study. They are also extremely
    convenient. Many educational applications on mobile devices allow for
    learning on the go which are fully-interactive, educational, and
    interesting. The best teachers are the ones with all the resources to
    create lessons that appeal to students’ interest and make learning
    exciting and relevant.

    Technology also enables educational institutions to run online courses.


    Educational institutions cannot ignore the move to run online courses if
    they hope to attract and keep students in the future. Meeting the
    needs of online students will require not only greater flexibility in the
    delivery format, but also greater attention to the design of those online
    courses. In particular the design of online courses must follow sound
    pedagogical principles. Issues such as sound pedagogical strategies and
    learner support should be foremost in the mind of designers of online
    courses. Online mode of instructional delivery demands courses to be
    designed to provide for greater student-student and student-teacher
    interactivity. As more and more courses move from the physical face-
    to-face classroom to the virtual classroom with more and more capable
    technologies, students will need to assume more responsibility for their
    own learning. They will need to become independent learners, able to
    think and figure things out for themselves. Technology also makes it
    possible to customize the content and delivery of instruction to the
    needs of individual students. The result is that individual differences in
    learning styles and preferences can be better accommodated.

    Finally the digital technology of the 21st century has revolutionized and
    enhanced every aspect of our modern lives for better efficiency. Digital
    Technology has transformed our ways of communicating, living, and
    essentially, teaching and learning. From law enforcement to military,
    from business to medicine, even from music to art, digital technology is
    widely used and shaping every core of human existence.
