My personal observation has showed me that technology is a positive tool in education. It brings
advantages in the teaching process both for educators and for learners. Motivation and changes
of attitude arise when efficiently employed. However, to reach a good understanding on the use
of technology, it is necessary to receive instruction. Furthermore, it is necessary to rethink its
use, apply accurate methods, and design new possibilities that better reach the goal of the
class, inside and outside the educational room.
Technology will be a great asset in education, as a motivational aid and a teaching tool to
help students succeed. The realms of technology in education have expanded far beyond mere
word processing and basic presentations with images, and technology is now a prime way to
motivate students. Now, those same programs used for simple tasks are capable of so much
more. By using technology in this fashion, students can become more engaged in instruction
and achieve a more substantive learning experience.
As stated in the course outline, the main focus of this course is on the educational uses of
Information and Communication Technology; allowing for the balancing of learning theories and
educational technology applications. The course treats fundamentals of planning, design, and
production of instructional multimedia tools. There are opportunities for students to practice and
use educational media and equipment in a cooperative learning environment and in various
micro-teaching situations.
Despite the shortcomings, technology has a tremendous impact upon education today in the era
we are currently in. We are now in the digital age where information is at out finger tips.
Technology helps provide students with easy access to information via the Internet that before
involved trips to libraries. In addition, this access to information can be free to students, by
utilizing resources such as Wikipedia in a responsible fashion. Technology can also be a
gateway to the vast realms of creativity for students, allowing us to participate in activities that
we never would have dreamed possible
