The Importance Of Technology In Education

For a film that came out in 1948 the cimetography and shot compositions has held up quite well. I was really impressed with the lighting that was in the film. My favorite scenes were the way that he uses shadows to show facial features, rather than have a close up on them. My favorite scene was the scene towards the beginning where there was the doctor, the love interest for the gangster, and the shop owner. The depth to that shot had was interesting, because at first he had the conversation with the owner in the backroad, while the lady was in the foreground.

In the poem “When I heard the Learned Astronomer”, Whitman utilizes the example of the astronomer’s lecture to show the difference between educational learning and experiential learning. In the speaker’s experience, the astronomer's lectures on stars and mathematical formulas are dreadful as he does not feel any kind of connection to the lecturer's content until he goes outside and sees the stars for himself. Looking up at the night sky is not an experience one can experience in a classroom, no matter how "learn'd" the teacher might be. Whitman felt very strongly that experiencing life's marvels was the only real way to learn. Personally, I relate to this.

Technology occupies an important position in students’ lives. The effects that technology has had on today’s schools are very significant. Technology is all over the world, and it has totally changed how students learn and teachers teach. Teachers are learning how to teach with emerging technologies (iPads, tablets, Smart, computers Boards, digital cameras,), while students are employing advanced technology to frame how they are earning, teachers are now setting their students up for a success outside of school. If technology is used correctly, electronic devices and the applications they support will help prepare students for their lives at home or future jobs and careers.

Over time, many have questioned the role of technology in education and instructional teaching because technology in education is a developing field that many researchers are yet to venture into. Since its advent, technology has greatly transformed human life because it has widened the focus within which man operates because of making his efforts easier and attainable. Introducing technology in the education sector has been viewed as a move towards progress because it has greatly transformed a sector that was initially viewed as being conservative. Currently, educational institutions are outdoing each other in matters technology because each wants to be considered progressive. Moreover, with the advent of the digital era, it is expected that educational institutions should be on the forefront in the implementation of technology because most of these institutions provide the hubs that act as the research centers. In addition, university professors and other stakeholders are usually at the center of these innovations, and thus a failure of an uptake of technology in these institutions is a mockery of the view that educational centers are technology hubs (Collins & Halverson, 2009). With this in mind, this paper is aimed at exploring education and instructional technology in the future.

Being able to use technology in classrooms will prepare students for the future of work jobs. Because being familiarized with devices and specific types of technology will give students a picture of what the future may look like, therefore technology in classrooms is essential to students. For example, technology improves teamwork because it encourages students to collaborate more since ideas can be shared from any place at any time. Throughout professional careers there will be situations where teamwork and collaboration will be crucially needed to complete a certain task. In addition, providing technology in the classrooms instills responsibility for students. For instance, when schools assign a certain technological device, students are expected to follow rules. If the rules aren't followed, consequences take action and the student's device can be revoked. As a result, providing students with technological devices teaches students to be how responsible, which will be extremely important later on in the future. Continuously, as the world continues to improve and evolve technology has been a huge essential to almost every good paying job. Using technology is the fastest way to get all the information you may need in the matter of minutes or even seconds. The world will always be evolving and improving over the years, and so will the technology we use, new creations are always on the market. Therefore, the use of technology in classrooms encourages students to adapt. In today’s society technology is the

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.

Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf have changed the way people learn, work, and interact with each other through the invention of Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocols which were the main inventions that lead to the development of the internet. The internet has affected how we learn, how we communicate, how business works, and how our brain works.

Technology is an ever-changing element in our society as well as within the classroom. As educators, we have the opportunity to take these technology advances and put them to use to better our teaching as well as better the learning of our students. This paper will specifically discuss how the incorporation of technology within the art education curriculum can bring beneficial results to the classroom environment and learning process. Technology can be incorporated into the art education classroom to help improve student behavior, it is proven to be beneficial in motivating student work and morale, and technology is being used to help integrate the arts with other core subjects as we see in the STEAM movement.

Technology has been around since the beginning of modern man and it has continued to evolve and transform with time. When once simple hand tools to complete simple tasks were considered technological advances; today technology is viewed a little differently, but the presence remains the same. Technology, beginning near the end of the 20th century and on into today has grown exponentially, and so have the uses and roles, it plays in our daily lives. With this ever-increasing role technology plays in the day-to-day lives of man also comes the increasing role of technology in the workforce, as well as in education. While some educators are open to the notion of implementing technology into the classroom, seeing it enhance student engagement and student learning, other educators see the increasing push for technology into the classroom as a negative outcome. This debate may never be solved completely, but perhaps those resistant to the idea, fearing the technology will, in fact, replace them, are merely just uninformed about how to go about using technology in their classroom, and how it is meant to be an aid in the education of students, not a replacement.

I am currently registered with the Queensland College of Teachers, and have been since I graduated my Bachelor of Education in 2011. Since then, I have taught in both my subject areas, English and Computing, and completed a Master's degree to further my knowledge in Information and Communication Technologies, an area I am very passionate about. Throughout my university studies, I have shown keen interest for technology in education (especially appropriating non-education technology for education purposes and 1:1 learning). I have a strong belief that technology can benefit education, given that it is carefully chosen to suit the context; one size does not fit all, one app does not fit all. In the past year at Saint Stephen's College, I have demonstrated that I am capable of teaching in a technical area (Technology) and it is a teaching area I quite enjoy.

In the last several years, college, administrators, faculty, and staff have observed the growing number of adult students enrolling in classes. Since these nontraditional students have recently come back, they are struggling more with technology-dominant classrooms compared to their traditional counterparts. These institutions have initiated methods to work with this problem, such as implementing beginner computer courses and encouraging them to be proactive in practicing their new found skills. Contemporary education research has observed numerous obstacles that adult student encounter returning to school. There is a learning gap that educators must close between traditional and adult students. While adult students bring valuable life experience and practical skills, they lack a background in modern programs and navigating access to technology tools. Working together hand-in-hand adult students and instructions through training in technology and time management, adult students will have a better outlook on achieving their goals and dreams.

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.

A child’s mind is always growing, with the advancement of technology, it will raise to new heights. Finding the most efficient way to teach and learn, has been an ongoing debate since the beginning of education. Since then, education has gone a long way. Students have gone from learning on chalkboards and memorizing all the information they learned, to having individual computers where they have access to tools to write, learn and communicate. But with all these new tools, many essential skills may be lost. Being reliant on online communication means that real face to face interactions will be gone. Children will not learn the valuable social skill that they will need when they grow up. Although this may be true, incorporating more technology into learning can lead to a more efficient and passionate education. Environmental technology will hugely enhance future technology.

In education today there is new in sight to link educational strategies, programs, initiatives, or technology so students can achieve there goals of passing their classes. There are many groups and organizations that are trying to advance technology literacy for students. In all aspects of our society, technology has revolutionized in so many ways ,plus enhancing our way of life. It’s no surprise that the public,researchers and others have the question on why hasn’t technology affect education yet?. But over the past 20 years there have been so many advancements in information and new tools that are being used to increase human knowledge. With all of the available technology and information researchers showed that integration of 21st Century technology increases student achievement and some college students shown a huge advancement in test and exam results.

Technology has increased over time from the 1900's to now, from the bulb and electricity to now with the iPhone. Over time, these devices our days, are either complicated or unusual to some people including older people in our generations. However, as technology develops, some students do not have a true idea or understanding of the technology they use for their future jobs like a nurse, to record the person's data, a pharmacist, to search and produce the drugs they need and give for patients, and an engineer to fix simple problems and type commands. All of these require the basic understanding of computers, so why do students need to learn computers in introduction classes?
