THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION and ELT.
INTRODUCTION
In the
last years society has been impacted greatly for technology in all its facets. It
seems that Technology will continue its influence
in our everyday lives. We live in an era where we are
surrounded
by more technology that in previous decades, students nowadays are born
immersed
in this
environment. Technology keeps developing
as well as the way teachers impart their classes
with this
Technological Resources. In this essay we want to explain some of the aspects
of the relationship between technology and education and how we have been
impacted by this negatively or positively.
IMPACT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION.
In the
education field today the use of technology is not essential it is necessary,
the use of modern devices increase and improve the learning in students in a
very different way than the one that they were used to, and it is through a
screen and the internet, the internet has opened the opportunity to learn with
a countless options, it makes our minds think in a different way than the
traditional. The impact of technology in education is divided in two aspects,
positive and negative impact we are going through in the next paraghraps.
IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
After the
pandemic we realized all the needs and deficiencies with technology, we have
discovered new ways of teaching and learning, for this futuristic new era we
need to be updated of the use of technology to improve and develop learning and
teaching.
“The
role of technology in the field of education is fourfold: it is included as a
part of the curriculum, as an instructional delivery system, as a means of
aiding instructions and also as a tool to enhance the entire learning process.
Thanks to technology; education has gone from passive and reactive to
interactive and aggressive” (Nagasubramani & Raja, 2018) .
POSITIVE IMPACT
Some investigations
say that learning can be achieved by three forms of interaction, student- teacher,
student- student, student- content. Some students prefer assignments and
lectures online. A survey says that students see as a benefit being able to
study whenever they can and their own pace.
NEGATIVE IMPACT
This kind
of teaching requires a higher level of interativity between instructors and
pupils. Some people find it boring have to study by themselves, most of them
prefer the traditional classroom classes.
Some
express that video calls chats is a difficult way to socialize and exchange ideas.
Besides the use of shortcuts, emojies and stickers have influenced negatively
the proper writing, spelling and grammar.
Another
issue is the lack of focus on students since they are getting extra information
from the web and are unable to focus on one thing.
CONCLUSION
Technology
is benefiting education as we have explained, but there will always be aspects
that might affect the use of technological resources. An education system
holded by the use of technology would be perfect if it wouldn’t depend on it
completely. In my opinion, learning should be done in an interactive way away
from screens.
