Technology in Education
Technology has revolutionized the classroom but is not without its disadvantages. Many classrooms are being fitted with smart boards and computers but they cannot replace old methods of teaching.
The technology available today has made a wealth of knowledge available to students, which offers great potential for the speed and style of learning. Information is presented in so many ways that any type learner, whether gifted or disabled, can find and use the necessary material. This fact relates not only to the The Internet, but to all technological improvements in learning, from smart boards to handheld dictionaries.
With this increased access to knowledge also comes a probable loss of communication skills and interactive abilities between students and teacher, and students to peers. Aside from learning, socialization is one of the reasons children come to school. The emphasis now has shifted away from these areas.
Education is no longer the privilege. The information on the The Internet is there for all who have access, without discrimination. People of all social strata are able to use technological advances, which is a fairly new academic development.
While general access is not denied, some students may not be exposed to computers and other technology because of socio-economic status. A student may get to use a computer for a short time, or only as a once-a-week activity instead of a regular class period.
The computer age is here; this cannot be debated. Is it better for students to have access to computers with all their data at the loss of interpersonal skills? Is it acceptable that a student can talk to someone halfway around the world via instant messaging but not be able to get along with the student sitting next to him in a classroom? Technology can enhance traditional methods of learning but cannot replace the human touch. Ultimately, the quality of the class will depend solely on the quality of the teacher and not the presence of technology.
