ﾑ: Impact of technology on education

1. by Maninder

2. Table of content • Introduction. • What is technology? • What is education? • Types of technology

3. introduction • The era of 21st century is often regarded as an era of technology. Technology, today,
plays a very important role in our life. It is seen as a basis of growth of an economy. • An economy which
is poor in technology can never grow in today’s scenario. This is because technology makes our work
much easier and less time consuming. • The impact of technology can be felt in every possible field one
such field is Education.

4. What is technology ? • Technology is a term that refers to a body of knowledge • that is employed to
generate tools, create skills, and choose materials for human use. • Technology includes the use of
materials, tools, techniques, and sources of power to make life easier or more pleasant and work more
productive.

5. What is Education? • Education in its general sense is a form of learning • in which the knowledge,
skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching,
training, or research.

6. Type of technology used in education. 1. Smartbords 2. Classrooms pc 3. Projectors 4. Television

7. Smart boards Smart board is an interactive white board that allows the teacher to project an image
from a laptop to the front of the room and the teacher can then digitally draw on that image.

8. Classrooms PC • They give them the option of recording their notes for long period of time . • Most
classes require student to do a lot of reports and presentations. You want a computer that will get this
job done better than the rest. • This allows for students to be more in tune with their learning by
allowing them to have their own personal computer.

9. Projectors • Projectors hook up to the teacher's laptop and projects the screen from the laptop to the
white board in the front of the room. • by doing this it allows students to see a larger version of what is
on the laptop screen.

10. Television • Televisions can be used to show instructional DVDs or to be able to watch important
current events, such as 9-11 or presidential elections.

11. Impact

12. Impact • Positive

13. Enhanced Teaching and Learning • Technological developments like digital cameras, projectors,
mind training software, computers, PowerPoint presentations, 3D visualization tools; all these have
become great sources for teachers to help students grasp a concept easily. • It has to be understood
that visual explanation of concepts makes learning fun and enjoyable for students. They're able to
participate more in the classroom and even teachers get a chance to make their classes more interactive
and interesting.

14. • Globalization • When schools in different parts of the state , students can “meet" their
counterparts through video conferencing without leaving the classroom. • Some sites, such as
www.glovico.com are used to help students learn foreign languages online by pairing a group of
students with a teacher from another country.

15. • No Geographical Limitations • With the introduction of online degree programs there is hardly any
need of being present physically in the classroom. Even several foreign universities have started online
degree courses that student can join. • Distance learning and online education have become very
important part of the education system nowadays.

16. Impact • NEGATIVE

17. Declining Writing Skills • Due to the excessive usage of online chatting and shortcuts, the writing
skills of today’s young generation have declined quite tremendously. • These days, children are relying
more and more on digital communication that they have totally forgot about improving their writing
skills. • They don’t know the spelling of different words, how to use grammar properly or how to do
cursive writing

18. Increasing Incidents of Cheating • Technological developments like graphing calculators, high tech
watches, mini cameras and similar equipment have become great sources to cheat in exams. • It is
easier for students to write formulas and notes on graphing calculators, with least chances of being
caught.

19. Lack of Focus • SMS or text messaging has become a favourite pastime of many students. Students
are seen playing with their cell phone, iPhones day and night or driving and very often even between
lectures. • Being ever-connected to the online world has resulted in lack of focus and concentration in
academics and to some extent, even in sports and extra curricular activities.

20. Advantages • It makes students more excited to learn • help students with busy schedules, freedom
to work at home on their own time • train students to learn new technology skills they can use later in
the work place • Decrease paper and photocopying costs, promoting concept of "green revolution"

21. Disadvantages • Many experts and experienced people say that, due to such technology in
education, students imagination is affected, their thinking ability is reduced. • Also its sometime time-
consuming from teacher’s point of view. • It is costly to install such technology. • There can be health
issues too when used over limit. • some students can't afford modern computer technologies

22. The role of technology in the field of education is four-fold: it is included as a part of the curriculum,
as an instructional delivery system, as a means of aiding instructions and also as a tool to enhance the
entire learning process. Thanks to technology; education has gone from passive and reactive to
interactive and aggressive. •Education is essential in corporate and academic settings. In the former,
education or training is used to help workers do things differently than they did before. In the latter;
education is geared towards creating curiosity in the minds of students. In either case, the use of
technology can help students understand and retain concepts better.

23. Ways in which technology improves education • Teachers can collaborate to share their ideas and
resources online: They can communicate with others across the world in an instant, meet the
shortcomings of their work, refine it and provide their students with the best. This approach definitely
enhances the practice of teaching. • Students can develop valuable research skills at a young age:
Technology gives students immediate access to an abundance of quality information which leads to
learning at much quicker rates than before. • Students and teachers have access to an expanse of
material: There are plenty of resourceful, credible websites available on the Internet that both teachers
and students can utilize. The Internet also provides a variety of knowledge and doesn’t limit students to
one person’s opinion. • Online learning is now an equally credible option: Face-to-face interaction is
huge, especially in the younger years, but some students work better when they can go at their own
pace. Online education is now accredited and has changed the way we view education.

24. Benefits of Educational Technology There are a number of benefits of introducing technology in the
field of education. There has been a positive impact of technology on education. Virtual classrooms have
made learning easier for the student community. With the potential use of technology, the learning
speed and style have undergone a sea change and communication has become easier. •One of the
benefits of educational technology for students is that it helps them improve their learning capabilities.
Since it is one field which is constantly changing, new updates can be easily introduced to the students
and class plans can be prepared with the help of the software. •In the earlier days, education was
considered to be mostly for the elite class and people under other strata were quite ignorant of it. With
the introduction of educational technology, there is no discrimination and everyone is equally accessible
to get educated.

25. •The information can be portrayed in various ways with the help of study materials. Knowledge has
become easily accessible to students in every part of the world with the implementation of technology
in the field of education. Online classrooms help students to interact with other students belonging to
the same stream, but located somewhere else in the world. •Since the Internet is the main medium and
other things like handheld tablet PCs and smart boards have entered the arena, students do not have to
carry heavy backpacks loaded with books. They can walk in comfortably to the classroom where these
equipment are already placed. •With the birth of virtual classrooms, the instructor from any part of the
world can teach the learner (or learners) who may be living at the other end. The reach of this
technology is quite far and students living in the remote parts can also avail it with ease. •In special
education, the educational technology has brought about a sea change where the needs of students are
catered to in a different manner. With the introduction of the software which teaches students with
special needs, the appropriate study materials are designed so that learning is comfortable.

26. Websites and social media allow students to research and teachers to share– not only lessons plans,
but digital resources, assessment data, and even whole- group, away-from-school communication (see
The Flipped Classroom). Podcasts, multimedia such as music and YouTube videos, and other digital tools
can be accessed here as well. The Wasteful Bit: The internet holds within it the biggest bulk of facts,
data, and information a student needs to consistently access. While this isn’t knowledge or wisdom, it’s
a start. The problem is access is so often tethered by district filters or well-intentioned restrictive
planning by the teachers that a set of encyclopedias might’ve functioned just as well. 2. Reading levels
(e.g., Lexile) are monitored via computer-based reading programs. The Wasteful Bit: Readers, especially
struggling readers, can often make significant gains in reading level throughout a year. The bad news is
that many of these gains come not from wholesale improvements in literacy, but becoming better at the
reading test itself, or more concerted effort to “score higher.”

27. iPads and laptops have the potential to make information and resources immediately accessible to
learners, and while that was always the case with textbooks, technology makes this information more
easily searchable, richer with multimedia, and potentially social beyond the classroom. The Wasteful Bit:
Teachers often lack the time or the resources to fully integrate iPads and laptops meaningfully, with one
doing the work of the other, and little gains made over what was possible with desktops ten years ago. It
is this approach that arms the naysayers in your department with justified criticism of the expense and
complexity of proper technology integration. http://www.teachthought.com/technology/five-common-

28. Educational technology research always had an ambitious agenda. Sometimes it only aims at
increased efficiency or effectiveness of current practise, but frequently it aims at pedagogical change.
While it can be considered as a design science it also addresses fundamental issues of learning, teaching
and social organization and therefore makes use of the full range of modern social science and life
sciences methodology. "Technology provides us with powerful tools to try out different designs, so that
instead of theories of education, we may begin to develop a science of education. But it cannot be an
analytic science like physics or psychology; rather it must be a design science more like aeronautics or
artificial intelligence.
