EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY?

• Educational technology is a wide field.
  Therefore, one can find many definitions, some of
  which are conflicting. Educational technology can
  be considered either as a design science or as a
  collection of different research interests
  addressing fundamental issues of learning,
  teaching and social organization. Official
  Definitions The Association for Educational
  Communications and Technology, the professional
  society for ET, defines it as Educational
  technology is the study and ethical practice of
  facilitating learning and improving performance
  by creating, using, and managing appropriate
  technological processes and resources. As a
  field, educational technology emphasizes
  communication skills and approaches to teaching
  and learning through the judicious use and
  integration of diverse media. Scholars in the
  field examine the uses of innovative media and
  technologies for education, examining all aspects
  from direct student learning to management and
  impacts on institutions.

The Advantages of Technology in Education

• 1. Promotes independent learning in students-
• The internet is a treasure trove of information.
  Practically anything you need to know can be
  found online.
• 2. Prepares students for the future-
• From the way technological advancements are
  going, it is obvious that the future will be
  digital and technology-focused. If students are
  well-versed on using technology to collaborate
  and communicate as early as now, they will not
  have trouble fitting in, competing and finding
  jobs in the future.
• 3. Has the potential to lower textbook and
  tuition prices-
• With resources more accessible and in great
  abundance, the cost of textbooks is likely to
  decrease.

• 4. Allows teachers to create an exciting way to
  educate students-
• Gone are the days when the only tools for
  teaching are limited to books, a blackboard or
  whiteboard, and a chalk or markers. With
  technology integrated to education, teachers can
  now incorporate images, videos and other graphics
  when delivering lessons.
• 5. Encourages development of new teaching
  methods-
• Rather than spend an hour or so talking while the
  students listen, or have them read an entire
  chapter in silence, teachers and professors now
  have the option to use advanced teaching methods,
  such as podcasts, blogs and social media.
• Technology also presents universal tools that
  enable teachers to educate all types of students,
  including those who are struggling or have
  special needs. These include voice recognition,
  text-to-speech converter, translator, volume
  control, word prediction software and other
  assistive technologies.

Disadvantages of Technology in Education-

• 1. Results in a lack of interest in studying-
• Because everything is now accessible online or
  through data saved in a computer or mobile
  devices, students are likely to develop poor
  studying habits and a lazy attitude towards
  education.
• 2. Makes students vulnerable to potential
  pitfalls-
• While computers prove to be an invaluable
  educational tool, it can also be a source of
  problems. This is especially true for students
  who lack the skills needed to maximize a devices
  functionalities.
• 3. Negative views on technology-
• Consumerism has taught us that technologies, from
  computers to mobile devices, are widely viewed as
  tools to entertain rather than educate.

CONCLUSION-

• The timing has never been better for using
  technology to enable and improve learning at all
  levels, in all places, and for people of all
  backgrounds. ... Learning dashboards and
  collaboration and communication tools can help
  connect teachers and families with instantaneous
  ease.
