The Importance Of Technology In Online Education

Having done substantial research, the author of this project discovered several online resources, but the standout online program of Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) was found to be the easiest for teachers to implement in the areas not considered literacy. Educators will be required to use the program to implement the literacy standards in the non-literacy disciplines. Literacy teachers can use resources from this program and pair it with a program already set in place, The Learning Institute (TLI), to insure sufficient progress in making sure that all students have the best possible education at their disposal.

Today’s school systems show an increase towards technology enriched environments. From K-12 schools into college, students are relying on technology now more than ever. Classes, homework, in-class work, and the majority of the books are available in an online setting. I understand colleges using technology to help keep the class connected and for a learn at your own pace setting, but in K-12 teachers are in the same building Monday through Friday and the school distributes books to students. Moreover, replacing textbooks and school work with laptops is unnecessary in the K-12 education system.

When learning arithmetic, students were constantly told that they could not rely too heavily on calculators, as they would not always have one on hand in the future. Today that statement couldn’t be further from the truth. The widespread prevalence of portable electronic devices has allowed literally everyone to carry a calculator wherever they go. While technology has been rapidly changing and evolving in the past few decades, the school systems has almost stagnated and has shown nearly no change within 150 years. Based on a variety of expert anecdotal accounts, when students are asked what they think the purpose of the school system is for, most of them will reply that it’s either to prepare them for higher learning (university or college) and/or to prepare them for the workplace. However, much of the knowledge currently taught is becoming increasingly outdated. As schools are straying increasingly further from their intended purpose, changes ought to be made. This problem would be easily solved if technology is integrated into the teaching system. Moreover, by enhancing the learning environment with technology, students will be able to instantly access innumerable websites’ worth of information, use computers to lessen their workload, and gain the necessary skills to achieve success in their future work endeavors.

As humans living on the earth, society send people to learning institutions for education. A learning institute is one of the most popular place where people get knowledge based on what they have choose as field of study. In this twenty first Century, technology has improved human’s education systems a lot. Although, technology is now part of everything that human does in daily basis, a balance should be established between methods of education and technology. Getting knowledge today is done by utilizing traditional education system, keeping the basic of learning and maintaining the use of technology tools in education.

The Impact Principle states effective practice yields evidence of learning. The look on each student’s face will provide evidence as to whether or not they are learning. An educator should assess the faces and student work samples to check for learning. If learning is not present, the educator should accept responsibility for not being impactful, and begin implementing a more effective practice so that the students demonstrate new knowledge. I have discovered this first hand in my practicum placement. I taught a lesson, and as a whole class my students understood the content. However, when I was reviewing their individual work, it was obvious that the students missed the point of the lesson. Therefore, I took responsibly for not teaching the objective in an effective way, and I retaught it in a more relevant manner. Then, my students were successful on the next sample of student work. Due to all of the factors in students’ lives that can hold their interest, an educator must gain and maintain their interest to be impactful. It is then the child will learn. If the educator’s delivery of the content is effective and impactful, evidence will be produced.

The research behind technology in education demonstrates numerous types of techniques and devices that have been found to affect the success of students and teachers. Why do students and teachers only succeed when utilizing certain technologies? To answer this question, technology as a whole has an immense impact on education, but the technology must be integrated correctly and effectively into the classroom in order to be triumphant. Proper integration of technology will lead to success in the classroom.

As technology continues to advance and take new heights in so many ways, we can think of many ways that this is helpful and how it makes our job easier. Technology within the school systems are starting to become the thing of the very near future. With many schools implementing "bring your device to school" days. You have to start to think how will this start to tie into the children's lives and how will this benefit them in the long run. According to Leys (n.d.), Technology has some great benefits to help our students further their education, it is also used in harmful ways that have no benefits on learning. All of the technology and gadgets are great, think of the problems and/or barriers that are brought forth. There are learning processes in each. What has to be looked at from a parenting stand point, is how do our children continue to implement better writing skills with new technology? With our children being more into technology, and being taught with technology, we must see the decline in the writing skills of our children and how dependent they will become when leaving the education realm and transitioning into the real world. Expecting technology to do more for them than ever before. Examination has to be taken into consideration on how are our teachers that teach our kids going to be supported, and the financial realm of resources that need to be given to give the correct support.

In a digital world, it is no secret that technology has influenced the way students learn in schools. As referenced by Robinson, McKenna and Conradi, in 2005 Leu, an educational psychologist and professor, “reflected that the internet as well as evolving technologies are not technological issues but literacy issues” (Robinson, McKenna & Conradi, 2012, p. 266). I agree with Leu since I believe technology is a positive tool for student learning if used correctly, however, there is a difference between using technology to support learning and using technology to do the learning. Digital versions of printed text included hypermedia which allows readers to use

In America and many other countries, technology has impacted our daily lives in many ways. Many people use technology for communication, education, business, or personal use. The technology industry is growing rapidly to the point where we are surrounded by technology everywhere we go. It is even almost unheard of to not have an email or a cell phone today. Parents should not limit their child’s technology access because our society revolves around technology. If parents limit their child’s technology access, students may fall behind in school, be unsuccessful in their careers, and fail to adapt to America’s rapidly changing culture.

Technology is here to stay and appears to be ever advancing, but teachers are struggling to adapt with learning about the new software and tools that the districts are trying to implement into the curriculum. Teachers shape the minds of our future; thus making teaching the most important occupation in the world. In order to achieve maximum greatness in the classroom a teacher must be open to changing the methods in which they teach. With time, technology has seemed to shimmy its way into almost every aspect of the average American’s life; including the classroom. Technology is ever changing and with new advancements teachers must be able to adapt. The main issues that teachers as well as schools are facing with technology is the price of

For years people have been searching for a more efficient way to learn; ways such as flashcards, textbooks, and agendas. Unfortunately, these techniques are not always reliable, or easy to access. Luckily, due to recent tests, educators have discovered that the use of technology has surprisingly proved as a more effective class source. After this study many schools and educators began to use technology as an everyday in-class resource, but there are still many teachers who fail to see technology’s impact. Those who do not use technology do not realize that technology can be compatible and convenient in any environment, is constantly being updated with new resources, and it helps give students a better understanding of a specific class

July 3rd, 2017 www.statisticbrain.com said that “84.3% of schools have high speed internet.”, if this many schools have high speed internet then they should be using it to their advantage by using technology to help their students learn. More schools have been integrating technology into the kids learning, some people think that technology in schools isn't need, but really technology is very helpful in school. Schools only integrate some technology into schools and don't always find a way for the best technology to enhance the learning of the school and to help them go more into depth with the technology.

Did you know that all the knowledge in this world can be accessed within the touch of your fingertips? With technology today, it has become easier and more convenient to access any information you would like using multiple devices: computers, iPhones, tablets, etc. The use of social networking and research done with appliances has become more common within society. Technology has been able to positively affect many aspects within our human lives, especially within education. In today’s era, technology has taken over a majority of our lives; it is a way to connect with our peers and society. This will allow us to broaden our horizon in different ways of teaching and the educational system. There are no limits on what you can educate today’s society with technology. The rapid change in technology is slowly edging its way into the educational system and holds the potential to profoundly reshape education. Educational technology is beneficial for students, teachers, and school systems across the country.

Technology has been evolving over thousands of years and it has provided humans with education, better health care, and communication that is the key to making our world a better place for future generations to come. Technology is a field of knowledge having to do with the practical applications of science and industry or the inventions and methods of solving problems that are produced through research in these areas. It has helped the school system, the medical field, and provided us with communication that can connect us to everything across the globe. These systems are the keys that make our world work in an efficient way, maybe not all the time, but enough so the world doesn’t just fall apart. In our society, technology has evolved the

Education is also another field in which technology has expanded. It has opened up thousands of resources for students to access while at school and even at home. “In the past, teachers relied on actual meetings to interact with their students. It was only during physical meetings that teachers could deliver learning materials and instructions to learners. However, nowadays, this kind of absolute dependence on physical meetings is gone.  It is easy for teachers and learners to stay in touch via email and other internet-based services such as file-sharing and Instant Messaging applications.” (Raza, 2017)
