TECHNOLOGY OF EDUCATION

Technology of education is also referred to as educational technology and
is in reality incorporation of IT into the realm of classroom. This is a
constantly evolving field that depends upon technological advancements.
The use of technology in education has many advantages just as technology
has enriched the world in all walks of life. One can see and feel the change
in air as classrooms are becoming modern and teachers and students are
benefiting with gadgets such as smart boards and computers. The advent
of the internet has made a sea of change in the way teachers can
demonstrate concepts and ideas to children and make learning almost fun.
Information today has been encapsulated in the internet which can be
beautifully used to allow learning be a fun rather than being a drudgery
which it used to be in earlier times. What this has meant is that education
is no longer limited to the privileged few, and even those who are
downtrodden and poor can learn all the ideas and concepts which were like
a dream to them in earlier times. Internet today has become very common
place and its true potential can be realized by disseminating knowledge
through it to all, without any discrimination.

TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

Technology in education is not limited to making use of technology to
make learning and imparting of education easier in all possible ways but
also a field of study in itself for those who are involved with developing
technological tools for educational purposes. Keeping in mind the end user
which are the students and teachers, technologists are busy inventing tools
and gadgets for use in classrooms. These are the people who are behind
this revolution and are working overtime in the field of educational
technology to cover all the processes of learning and instruction.
Technology in education refers to but is not limited to the use of hardware
and software, including internet and other related activities, for the purpose
of increasing human capabilities. The use of technology in education is
always welcome as it enables both teachers and students to gain knowledge
in a much better and faster rate. Nevertheless, ultimately it is teachers who
make use of all the technology and hence, they will remain as important as
ever, and technology can never even think of replacing teachers.
