In this article the author presents his belief that educational technology is only effective in increasing student academic achievement if it

Technology has many attributes and applications that improve livelihoods. As a student myself, one of the most obvious advancements is in the field of education. Educational technology has slowly been integrated into classrooms over the last decade. Today, the basis of technology, digital literacy, is a crucial skill for academics. “Students who are digitally literate know how to effectively use technology to collaborate, create original content, and conduct in-depth research for academic purposes” (Dotterer, “Fostering Digital Citizenship In The Classroom”). Some worry that the use of technology will encourage people to “cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful” (qtd. In Carr, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”).

Second, education is one of the most significant influences of expansion and due to computers education system of nations are refining. After development of computer, quality of education has been improved and students has begun to study in collaborating ways such as online performances, group knowledge through the Internet and taking online sequences, which are obtainable by great universities such as Harvard, MIT and Stanford. The use of computers

Digital learning has various effects on the academic performance of the students and this digital learning can help the students to improve their performance in the classroom. Digital learning really makes the students work easier. Because of this, the students may have an advanced knowledge by easily searching their lesson using this technology. With this digital technology, it gives more information to the students to gain more knowledge about their school works. There are lots of technology that were integrated into the classroom that help the students learn with comfort, and that allows the student to gain and recall more information. With the use of digital learning, it will help the students to be more active engaged in their lesson,

School Administration. After considering the results of this study, they would know whether they should continue to authorize the use of gadgets (laptops, cellphones, etc.) in class or not.

Abstract Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is playing a primordial role in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system to meet the expectations and requirements of the students to receive and send information with respect to their academic pursuits. ICT in Open and Distance Learning is like a beacon light that lights up the path of the students and allows them to navigate through seamless ease with regard to their academic aspirations. It elevates the student-centric learning experience to such a level that more often than not it not only provides clientele satisfaction but also its delight. ICT, ever since it has been employed in Distance Education, has been providing various technologies and tools to cater to the requirements of a learner at various stages of learning cycle like admission stage, the learning stage, the evaluation stage and finally the certification stage as a service.

On the other hand online education is more cheaper requires less resources and allows students to learn at their given time. It offers a fresh technology age that is essential in widening the education scope (Woo 1). This platform prepares students in succeeding in the growing technology driven international economy. Online education offers a fresh kind of experience where the learning schedule is self directed. With the employment of portable devices it facilitates increased learning which can be acquired at any given time at any location. This is a form of receiving information in a convenient way with less stress on time or even resources. The online learning classes settings and the communication boards offers different learning techniques which permits students to acquire learning without communicating. This eliminates the worry of missing regular classes which in most cases affects the learning outcomes. This

The present era has progressed not only in terms of education but also in the department of information technology. People usually resort into using technology for a faster way of communication, to progress in work and in education. Some colleges and universities have implemented the different kinds of technology for purposes of developing a student’s skills and abilities. “Technology is seen in several forms from the simple functions of a calculator used in mathematics to the most complicated computers and technological gadgets” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 07). However, alongside the positive advantages of technology and advanced computer system, there is also a negative side or disadvantages causing problems that need to be solved. While the “ideal goal for educators is to implement technology in the classroom and see definite positive affects on student achievement” (Flannagan L.J., pg. 09). We are living in a world filled with high tech gadgets in the current time like ipads, social media such as twitter, facebook, tumbr and google.

In this educational study, an analysis of the ”futuristic student” will define the increasing importance of computerized education as a way to dictate the needs of the student in the increasing role of information technology (IT) in the 21st contrary. In modern schools, the necessity of computerized education will provide stude4nts of the future with the necessary skills to participate in jobs related to this field of technology. Computers will become a more central part of educational curriculums, since the increasing use of IT will be channeled through medium of digital modes of communication. Also, this type of student will need to be aware of the technical aspects of computer technology as a vital component in the growth of technology based mediums of the future. Educators must realize the impact of exponentially expanded fields of technology that will become a prime objective for communicating and relaying information through the computerized technology. Therefore, the “futuristic student’ will be educated through increasingly complex system of computer technology as a basis for learning in a digital world. In essence, an analysis of the “futuristic student” will define the important role of computerized education as a basis for IT development and technical skills that will be essential for adapting to new technological trends.

Technological advancement and globalization have ushered the era of global economy which is "powered" by technology, fueled by information and driven by knowledge. The era of such technology starts from the very beginning when the earlier mode of communication like telegram, wireless and cable telephones were invented. But there is no doubt in saying that the biggest inventions of last century were computers and internet which are considered the best in every mode of communication and information. Since information continues to grow exponentially, educational institutes cannot confine their activities just to imparting merely a prescribed set of knowledge; students are rather required to be kept updated about the latest techniques arriving with every passing second. This new learning culture has been greatly promoted by the use of "information and communication technology ICT tools", which are defined as "a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information" (Ramesh 2003). These ICT tools can play their parts in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our education systems and in assessment of student's learning. According to TLTP Project ALTER 1993, "The two main uses of technology in the assessment process are identified as: using technology to perform the actions and cognitive processes a tutor would employ to arrive at a

Modern education stands for using computers or internet websites to educate students in schools and colleges about any kind of a learning course. According to some people nowadays the word modern education is considered to be a synonym to the word "ease", while to others it is considered as an improvement to teaching and learning skills. Technology is gradually developing by the day that now we embrace computers and tablets in offices and schools more than books. In additional to teachers who mostly use projectors to display videos or designed programs which grab the attention of their students in classes. But apparently along with all the advantages modern education has, it also has disadvantages such as effecting a student's health state or how it may cause a student to rely on the internet rather than his own intelligence and creativity. Since this is a debatable topic, this research paper will involve arguments about modern education pros and cons and by facts it will
