Educational Technology at Its Best!

Discuss the importance of technology in facilitating, teaching and learning. Include basis to establish
the importance.

Every day we are involved in technology from waking up in the morning until we sleep at night,
we are living with today’s technology. And nowadays the technology is reached the new level of
advancements and taking over everywhere, including on our schools. Technology has the ability to
enhance relationships between teachers and students. It also has a big help in terms of learning and
teaching, it makes task easier and to teach and learn easier. Research shows when technology is
integrated into the classroom students can benefit a great deal. The implementation of technology in
schools helps close that gap. Technology helps the teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
Students are also able to collaborate with their own classmates through technological applications.
When teachers effectively integrate technology into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser,
content expert, and coach. Technology not only provides students with access to countless online
resources, but also aids them in the learning process. A majority of universities and educational
institutes have already started to utilize technology within their teaching methods. Technology,
when integrated into the curriculum, revolutionizes the learning process. More and more studies show
that technology integration in the curriculum improves students' learning processes and outcomes.
 Teachers who recognize computers as problem-solving tools change the way they teach. It
helps a lot in lessening the challenges of life. Knowledge gained throughout the education period
enables each and every individual confident about their life. It opens various doors to the
opportunities of achieving better prospects in life so promotes career growth. Students of this
generation considered technological learners, they learn best being more interactive, and technology
is what helps them to do that. Children often struggle to stay on task or interested, and with the
resources to help the teacher, they can better say focused and learn faster. And in this time that we
are all in the global crisis because of the virus that’s alarmed the whole world that’s why the face to
face learning is prohibited, we are all relying on the technologies for us to learn. But there was a
problem in implementing this and one of these are teachers facing right now and that is they do not
know how to use the technology available to them and also to the students who can’t avail these
technologies and that’s the reason why many students are requesting for the academic freeze
because they know that the way of teaching is not effective. But we can’t deny the fact that the
technology has a great a contribution in our studies and whether you like it or not, technology is an
essential concept to learn because it changes so quickly, children are better off learning about it
sooner. These days, technology means more than just learning basic computing skills, it also made
itself part of every aspects of our lives today, and the one who understand it are ones who succeed in
business world.
