Educational technology has advanced rapidly during the past few decades. Increasing student interest and motivation is a constant challenge for educators.
Technology can make learning exciting and relevant and lead students to spend more time on task.
Implications of Educational Technology for LEP Students For many years, teachers used the computer to provide supplemental or additive exercises. In recent years, advances in computer technology have motivated teachers to reassess the computer and consider it an integral part of daily learning. Today, technology gives teachers the capacity to significantly enhance their students' language and cognitive development. They can utilize the technologies described here for instructional testing and assessment, to teach culture, to help students learn academic content and develop critical thinking skills, and to expand students' speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Databases and spreadsheets provide students opportunities to practice and develop information retrieval and problem-solving skills.
