THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

Education is defined as any action or experience that shapes an individual's mind, character and physical abilities. We all know that education is necessary and very important, because education helps the younger generation to be educated fairly and responsibly. In modern times the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) is increasingly becoming widespread in many social spheres. This implementation does not override education either. Education and knowledge are the basis of every human development and they are the fundamental right of every human being. The technology is affecting human life more and more everyday. People cannot image their live without technology. Technology is also affecting even students at schools. Recently, some teachers, who want to be the lessons more attractive, have come up with new methods in the field of teaching, one of them is exactly technological teaching. Education Technology plays a very important role in the field of education, especially in this 21st century. In fact, computer technology has become easier for teachers to transfer knowledge and for students to obtain it. In recent years, when applications of technology such as video projector, smart board, computers, software, internet, tablets, mobile etc. have been introduced into the education system, teaching resources have changed considerably. Methodists think there are many advantages to using technology in the classroom, for example: it makes the student more interested in the topic of instruction, reduces learning time and provides opportunities for nontraditional learning. The use of technology has made the process of teaching and learning more convenient. Tablets are replacing textbooks, and students can research everything they want to do on their 'smartphones'. Social media has become mainstream and the way we use technology has completely transformed the way we live. Educators also recognize the importance of developing these technological skills in students so that they are prepared to get a job once they finish their education. The impact that technology has had on today's schools has been significant. This widespread adoption of technology has completely changed how teach learn and students learn. By integrating technology into the classroom, they are educating students for a more successful life outside of school. Students prefer technology because they believe it makes learning more fun. Subjects that students find challenging or boring can be made more interesting with virtual lessons, via a video, or when using a tablet. Today's technology enables students to learn at their own pace. For example, almost all applications allow individualized instructions. Students can learn according to their abilities and needs. This form of teaching is also great for the teacher because it gives him time to work individually with struggling students.On the other hand, technology does not guarantee useful teaching / learning, even inappropriate uses of it can make learning more difficult. This is the case, for example, when the student spends most of his time selecting and writing colors in his assignments rather than planning, writing and reviewing his ideas about the assignment given.
