Moving forward into the 20th century we have seen various technological improvements and its time that technology changed the educational sector.The implementation of technology into education has brought both new methods and new technology that facilitate education in a modern way. New scientific methods include using e-learning Softwares or showing videos to the students which help them understand the topics because of the use of animation and interactive content which makes the students concentrate on the subject because of the engaging and attractive videos or slides.On the other hand, new technologies include the invention of e-books and projectors where ebooks help the student access millions of books online and read them whenever they want without having the trouble to go to the library and find the book they need and projectors help in facilitating the teachers in setting up classes to show something on a huge screen. There are and will be countless innovations that are and which will transform the educational sector and even if we dont wish for the educational techniques and methods to change they will still go under a transformation and be completely different in the future. Technology in education is not a bad thing because it helps the students understand the topics easily and retain the information easily so let us see the importance of technology in education.Demand from students :The students demand a type of education which helps them understand topics easily and helps then concentrate, the current technology serves the exact purpose and helps them understand and retain information easily.
Demand from teachers: Teachers too cannot come up with innovative things every time to teach kids some topics so too turn towards technology to help them explain topics easily which will in turn help kids understand topics easily.
Students are the digital native :Students interacting with technology at a young age have made them understand technology better than most adults. The interactive and engaging material helps them learn various skills like multitasking which will help them in the future.
Students can learn at their own pace __With the current technology students have the freedom to study at their own pace, go back on topics and learn step by step this is not possible in classroom teaching where they have to keep up with the teachers pace. With technology, there are no limitations Textbooks and teachers only help understand or explain a part of the information but with the new technology students can surf the net and find out all the information they want this helps them expand their horizons and gain additional knowledge.Technology has the power to enhance relationships between teachers and students Technology helps students access all the information they want and teachers to come up with creative ways to interact with the students and help them test their knowledge and make them think out of the box this helps enhance student-teacher relationships.
