Education must be updated and be open to all the changes that it is having in the use of technology to improve teaching and a better teaching-learning process. For example, teachers must be in constant training so that they know all the tools available to be able to teach their classes and that students can make use of them as well.
Also, it is valuable to know the needs of each student in terms of who has the possibility of having electronic devices to make use of it and who finds it difficult, to work in the same way and that everyone benefits, not just a few. Furthermore, we must know the impact it has or will have on education and our society.
First of all, technology has made and has been the most profound revolution in human history. Its impact can be personal, national, global and in many ways, it is not limited. So, when we talk about education, learning, teaching and schooling, we are also talking about a change, perhaps not total, but most of it. It is an almost sudden change in the entire world. It must be said that technology has a crucial impact on our lives.
There is no doubt that technology plays an important role in all aspects of life. It is because technology has also resulted in that all of our difficult daily tasks can now be performed easily and efficiently. Thanks to the application of technology, life has changed and, in many ways, it has changed for the better. Now, the emergence of technology in education has made learning and knowledge more interactive. The greatest impact of technology in education is the change in our perspective towards the world.
Among the impacts of technology in education is the easy access where information is more up-to-date and there is better storage. Also, it is a way to share our knowledge easily. With the advent of electronic devices in schools, it has become easier for teachers to teach what they know and for students to acquire everything. The beginning of technology has made the teaching and learning journey more effective since technology is a very useful tool for teaching. Additionally, technology has made life easier for students. Nowadays, students and teachers have easy access to a variety of tools to make presentations and projects, instead of using pen and paper. These tools have helped students have more interest in studies, among other aspects. In addition, there are online libraries that do not require physical space. Teachers, students, and researchers in different parts of the world can access the same online library simultaneously. And, there are many other facilities that technology has brought to us.
Technology has had a great impact on the way of teaching. The way of seeing education through technology has changed. More learning is expected, which is more accessible and easier for everyone. It is important to know that these impacts can be both positive and negative in education. The student learns in an interactive way with their classmates and teachers. In addition, with technology there is a better teaching-learning process. The influence of technology in education should not be taken as an obstacle but as an allied tool at your service that will help us to improve education in all senses. That is more accessible, there is more interaction using programs and apps. That serves to improve learning. Although, technology should not replace the way students analyze and create their own criteria. So, we think that technology is good for the education of the future but it must be used in the right way to have positive results. In addition, it must have all the necessary resources so that it can work very well and all students can have access to it. In short, technology is currently a huge factor in both teaching and learning. So, we consider this an opportunity to progress in the educational field and not stay in traditional teaching that only uses blackboard and pen.
So, the future is now and we must adapt to all the changes that education has in the use of technology and not only in education but in our society, in our lives, but let's not forget to use it in the correct way.
