Evaluation of technology in education today
Technology in education is something that had to come sooner or later in our lives, however since we are running certain technological tools we can appreciate some advantages and disadvantages, so it would be appropriate to make an evaluative analysis to help us understand the importance of a balance in this relationship: technology-education.
The incorporation of technology in education has not spared its incorporation in the different educational levels, so it is very common that our children in the primary education stage already know how to handle a computer better than ourselves.
One of the ways in which we must assume the reality of the technological incorporation in the educational field, is that if we buy other aspects of our daily life, we realize that technology and the digital era has revolutionized and changed our lives completely, and everyone will give their positions if it has changed them for better or worse, but what is certain is that it has contributed to a process of change quite interesting.
Taking into consideration that technology has changed many aspects of our lives, then we must recognize that a field as important as education, should not be left behind, which is why we see today the incorporation of more applications that promise to make education an easier way.
As is the case with any incorporation, there are always new drawbacks in adaptation and assimilation, which is why it is normal that in every impossibility of adaptation we have to get the idea that these changes of era in which traditional education gave way to a digital education, new challenges are needed to meet the needs that may arise in the educational field and the incorporation of new technologies.
It is already a clear example that technology and the digital era is a fact with no turning back in today's education, which is why we should ask ourselves the following question:
What role should technology play in today's education?
Personally I believe that the main role that technology should play in current times is not incorporation, because as we all know, technology is there, however the availability of this technology in some countries as is the case of my country Venezuela is very difficult.
We all know the advantages that digital technology brings in education, however it must improve its sense of accessibility, although it is true that we can count on a youth of students quite familiar with technology, we can see how there may be teachers who are not at par with this understanding and technological adaptation, so the role of technology should be to allow to be accompanied with ranges of accessibility both in its management and in the economic capacity to acquire it.
Conclusion
Much can be said about what has distorted the use of technology in education, it is true that sometimes it is not given the true use it deserves, but it is not the fault of technology, it is the fault of those who do not give it the true use, remember that digital technology is there to provide us with digital tools such as internet, computers, digital whiteboards, cell phones and tablets, among other tools.
The role that technology should play is to educate and raise awareness among its customers that it is necessary that we are prepared to give it the best use, in particular I evaluated in a fairly acceptable range all the evolution in incorporation that technology has had in education, and in particular I think it will evolve in the future to have a better acceptance and adaptation.
Greetings friend @carlos84, undoubtedly one of the most prominent scenario and that has allowed us to promote technology is the pandemic, through this we have not been able to realize the capabilities we have in this area and the importance of technological advances in education.
Valido delivers greetings.
The pandemic has been a big driver in the use of technology in education, however we must ensure that it continues regardless of the pandemic.
Greetings my friend and thanks for your comment
Greetings dear friend @carlos84, nowadays it is essential to use technological tools to teach and assign activities in the educational area, 2021 is here and everyone should be in tune with technology to avoid falling behind, as I always say technology is good as long as we use it properly and in a balanced way.
See you later brother, have a great start of the week.
Certainly, my friend, the key to success in the educational sector is to use the different technological tools properly.
Greetings and thanks for your contribution.
Distance education, in my experience, offers many opportunities to improve teaching processes, the fact of having all the available information available (through the web) focuses more attention on the analysis and discussion of it. that in the way it is obtained, on the other hand the use of technology dynamizes educational processes, however there are principles and values that can only be transmitted in person, so I consider that a mixture of both methodologies can be of great benefit for the students.
Greetings my friend @carlos84
Hello @carlos84
As you mentioned, technology is a tool, that its effect on something is going to depend on how it is used.
It must be present, obligatorily in the learning process, at least for me it is so. More than necessary.
Certainly, friend, its use should be in the plans of the challenges to be overcome in the future.
Greetings friend @josevas217 and thank you for your valuable comment.
Greetings @carlos84, the evaluation of technology in the educational part is something that should be taken safely and supervised, because today as you yourself comment are few parents who know the use of computers unlike young people who are very well developed in this field and therefore not only can use it for educational activities but for other things that are not beneficial to them, In this sense, I particularly think that in order for Venezuela to achieve an excellent advance in educational technology, the country's economy must improve a lot, since both educators and parents must have these tools.
Greetings amgo. Certainly the role of technology in education is very important, as you rightly pointed out, technology is already available and more accessible to the youngest than before, the problem is to give proper use to the tools that are already there, many teachers undervalue their usefulness, and to overcome the limitations that keep even today people without access to technology.
Certainly the bad thing is that there are still many teachers reluctant to its use and expansion, this undoubtedly must be one of the resistances to overcome in the short and medium term.
Greetings and thank you for your valuable comment
Greetings @carlos84, is a very important issue, and even more so with the kind of education that you live today, because due to the pandemic and distance education, it is very important to the balance between education and technology, that is why so many companies dedicated to the development of technology, he sought ways to generate programs that achieve better education, making it more dynamic and accessible to all people, including those of primary education, being the children of the house and tend to get distracted easily.
Certainly technological innovation in the educational area is essential for us as teachers. Greetings friend @chucho27 and thank you for your valuable contribution.
Hello @carlos84!
Technology has been playing a great role in our lives these days, yet I still believe it's not being well-used in the field of education. It may make the educational system better and something more attractive to the students, since it is something they use in their daily lives. The fact that it may have a huge impact on the whole education can't be denied yet, it's been ignored so bad. We can see basic technology in schools which is something that's becoming so old already but still, there are no updates.
Nice read, thanks for sharing!
Hello friend, that's why I mention that everything depends on the use that we give the best use to it within education.
Greetings and thank you for your valuable contribution in this comment.
Covid-19 have changed the whole education system. As their is lockdown in most of the world and School are closed down education system has changed to online system which will help in the home education for the children.
We need to change by time otherwise we will behind in the race.
