Effect of Technology in Education

Technology affects every aspect of our lives. From romance to business, it has shown its presence everywhere. But technology has had a huge impact on education that cannot be denied, and has done nothing but improve the quality and quantity of education.As a college student who would like to become a teacher, I believe that technology will help a child due to all children learn differently, and technology is to help the children who have no other place to go. Some children are just unable to learn from a teacher, that is when technology plays a big role.
Technology has many different effects on education, one of them being enhancing the students learning; therefore technology may enhance the students learning and may assist most students in achieving their academic standards. If technology and appropriate teaching methods are combined, consequently technology may increase the academic achievement. On the other hand, certainly Businesses place an emphasis on technology in schools so that the schools adequately prepare their future employees, the students. The government is also placing pressure on schools to improve technology in the classrooms because today, schools are being pressured more and more to improve the technology they use and teach in the classrooms.
Besides, Parents are placing this pressure on schools so that their students have the skills needed to compete in the real world job market. Undoubtedly, Students are placing pressure on the schools to improve technology by having more knowledge of current technology than the school’s staff, thus teachers in turn are placing emphasis on the schools to improve technology they want to increase efficiency of information sharing, grading, and communication in the classroom.
Finally, Technology is becoming more and more dominant in our society. Everyday upgrades are being made and new innovations are being discovered. Every place we look there is some type of technology. I believe technology has had a major impact on our school systems and is still impacting it today.
