Introduction Technology has without doubt altered the way we conduct our lives. It has influenced nearly all the aspects of life and changed the way of living. Unquestionably, technology plays a significant role in every field of life. Thanks to technology, people do not have to perform majority of the traditional manual tasks since they can now be automated. With the help of technology, many of the intricate and significant processes can be conducted with increased ease and accuracy with the aid of modern technology. Thanks to the multiple positive outcomes of technology, the education sector has undergone a notable change and as it is, this change has been for the better (Pea, 1998). The invention of computers and the Internet technology have brought a major revolution in the education field. For this reason, the significance of technology in schools cannot be disregarded. In fact, the introduction of computers in schools has made it easier for teachers to disseminate knowledge and for the students to take hold of it. To put it more aptly, the computer technology has added a fun-element to the learning process. Additionally, the invention of the internet has brought the much-needed interaction in the education sector (Miller, 2008). The introduction of computers in schools has presented students with an interactive audio-visual media that makes learning easier. The invention of PowerPoint presentations and computer graphics software has been used in schools to deliver information to the students in an interactive manner something that enhances the comprehension ability due to increased interest from the students. Additionally, the use of animation software and PowerPoint presentations acts as illustration aids to the teachers.

Apart from the use of computers, another technology that has had a major revolution in education is the internet. The internet is a massive information center, which can be used as an effectual tool for obtaining knowledge. Unlike in the past when a student had to dig through tones of textbooks in a library to research for information to back a 1000 word thesis, all that a student who is connected to the internet needs to do is to type some simple search words and they are presented with countless search results. Currently, there are numerous educational websites and web indexes that give information on a wide range of subjects and this has made the obtaining of information to be an easy task (Eide Neurolearning Blog, 2005). Today, online education and distance learning have redefined the field of higher education. Unlike in the past, students do not need to be physically present in a classroom for them to participate on the deliberations. Many higher learning institutions have online courses for students who are unable to attend regular learning classes. Additionally, nearly all schools around the world now give students an opportunity to present their assignments online. This is quite a big development in the field of education and it can all be attributed to technology (Pea, 1998). Although most of the
