The Impact Of Technology On Education

Modern technology has penetrated every aspect of our lives and made great impacts on our daily activities, especially in the area of education. The continuous infusion of technology in education has become an unchangeable tendency. Given the increased use of technology in education, much research has been done on the value of technology in education. However, none of the studies have answered all of the questions that are essential to determining whether continuous infusion of new technologies in education can improve the quality of education. Since a clear answer to this question is vital to help educational organizations to make decisions on how much

Technology in the classroom is important for teachers, parents, and students alike, because technology use has become a necessary skill for survival in today’s vastly expanding technology driven global economy. Research has shown an increase in student’s success rates when exposed to technology in the classroom. Also technology has opened lines of communication between educators and parents to keep students on track, and help teachers educate better.

Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf have changed the way people learn, work, and interact with each other through the invention of Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocols which were the main inventions that lead to the development of the internet. The internet has affected how we learn, how we communicate, how business works, and how our brain works.

Technology has been part of our daily live more frequently than before. Screen time has been more popularly used on kids and adolescents. On a daily bases many kids seem to spend more time inside on their tablets, instead of having to spend time with other kids. This is a problem that is becoming more popular over the years,on whether kids need to spend that much time on technology or not. Parents either seem to have strict technology usage, or they either don’t. There has always been a huge controversy with experts, who either think that screen time is beneficial or could cause problems later on in life. There are many views towards this topic, from hurting kids brains, to helping them during school, and socially.

The amount and usage of technology around the world is constantly growing. Because of technological advances, more and more schools are opting into technology-based learning, even with students as young as preschoolers. Many teachers (and parents as well) trust that the increasing exposure to and implementation of this technology is helping children’s learning abilities when used responsibly (Sharkins et al., 2016, p. 437).

Being a mother with young children who use technology daily, I see the positive affects it has on my children’s learning process. I monitor time limits on the computer and video game usage, but I still allow them to use these devices because technology is used more frequently today. The school district which my children attends allows them to use technology while learning in school and requires lots of computer usage for homework. My children will continue to succeed in their classes with the skills they use from technology. Computers and video games have become a form of technology that helps children with technological skills, it enhances visual-spatial skills in academics like mathematics and these technology devices also enhances good focus

On a daily basis, both businesses and individuals rely on technology. It cannot be denied that technology has become part of our everyday life. As individuals, we all depend on technology, either for education, health purposes, transportation, communication, romantic relationships, and/or business growth . It is impossible to explore how each advancement in technology has impacted our lives as well as how it will impact the future, but we can briefly explore the major advancements. Technology impacts the environment, people individually, and the society as a whole.

Look around. Whether it is just a cell phone or if it is Bluetooth devices, there are many people that have some form of technology. Technology plays a huge role in lives across the world today, and the dependency is rising. The dependency on technology is increasing daily, but are the effects benefiting humans? Everyone in today's society depends on a form of technology, but technology is a broad subject. Humans are mainly interested in the newest versions of computers, tablets, and smart phones. Computer technology affects education, and people's health.

Technology is advancing in everyday life and is starting to make its way to the education field. Teaching students how to read has always been one of the school's main focus. Students have always learned to read out of textbooks, but now that technology is growing, schools are starting to use e-books and different online software depending on the class type. Because of the growth in technology in school, students need to be taught how to read and comprehend books and online books at a young age.

Most people think of the phones in their hand or pocket when they think of technology, but the first roots of technology started all the way back in the Paleolithic Era. This era brought us the first set of stone tools and the famous cave paintings that have helped us learn about the past. Following the Paleolithic Era, we had the Mesolithic and Neolithic Eras which both brought us more advanced stone tools and the start of copper tools. After the Meso/Neolithic Eras, we had the Bronze Era which brought us our bronze tools and weapons. The next era was the Iron Age; this age brought us our iron tools and bullets which further improved hunting. Next was the Middle Ages that gave us our armory and many more improvements on weaponry. Following the Middle Ages, there was the Renaissance, then the Industrial Ages where hundreds of inventions were made like the steam engine and the telegraph which advanced travel and communication. The last era is the Information Age which gave us our phones, computers and the internet. Throughout history, technology has improved and given society many benefits including the improvements of the educational system, medical and the many communication systems.

Against the problem of technology being the cause of health problems. My argument against this are that the students would not constantly be on the tablets and most of the health issues would not be a problem. My solution for the

Technology has been in the world for decades. Whereas, the more technology improves, the more people are relying on using it. For example, one of these ways is introducing technology to the school system. As the graph below shows how teachers used technologies in the classroom. Granted that, by the next academic year, mobile devices will be available for 1-to-1 computing for half the K-12 student and teacher population in the United States, according to Futuresource Consulting Ltd., a research and forecasting company based in the United Kingdom. In fact, by calendar year 2016, 54 percent of students and teachers will have access to a school-issued personal computing device, the study projects. (Molnar) Therefore, having technology in schools has many different positive and negative benefits to student’s performance in the classroom. Nowadays, students no longer have to carry around their books because of technology. Moreover, books can now be downloaded straight to a computer or tablet device. In particular, all the information that needed for the class will be all in one place for the student to use. For instance, in the past teachers used books, chalkboard, and worksheets in the classroom. In contrast to the present where technology is mainly used. Nowadays, school start introducing technology to kids when they first start kindergarten. Presently, kids are using laptops, iPad, and tablets in the classroom and for their homework assignment. However, technology in the

Through the course of this paper which will discuss the how affective technology can be utilized in schools. The main reason for technology in schools is simply improving the comminutions between the students, parents, teachers, administrators and staff. Now there are many ways in which they can reach someone or find out information whether it’s by phone, by the schools website, by email, by the schools television station, or directly. These multiple ways make it simpler for everyone to figure out the information distribution process. Whether they utilize computers, laptops, tablets or even smartphones everyone has the capability of accessing school related information. There are many factors when implementing the information distribution process which include networking, telecommunication, and word-of-mouth communication. Once those three factors are implemented, processes begin to become common which means people are familiar to locate and search for answers regarding a situation. Overall all of these process and factors help improve significantly the ability to keep on track and up-to-date on any information. Technology has come a long way constantly advancing to improving the way we communicate and interact daily. The ways that technology improves us daily is that it is an access point in which we gather information to solve any issues, problems or concerns.

As the suggestions of constructivism appear on the fringes of education, there is a polarizing argument about what place technology has in schools. Students are coming to school with computers in the form of phones, tablets, or laptops in their pockets and backpacks. Some schools are leading the charge with BYOD (bring your own device) or BYOT (bring your own technology) initiatives. However, there are still districts, schools, and teachers who will not allow technology into their classrooms. Many schools and teachers want to avoid the potential problems, so they adopt a no phone policy, while other schools are trying to integrate technology and BYOD initiatives. This literature review will examine research related to technology

“Technology may empower, but to what end will that power be used?” said Levine in I Surf, Therefore I Am (224). The empowerment of technology simply comes down to the way it is used. More recently; however, the Internet has become some sort of replacement in the way students learn today. With the use of the Internet and little to no interaction with physical books, people can become uneducated rather easily. In today’s society, most everyone has access to the Internet; however, it is the way we use it that helps determine our success.
