Ever changing technology in Education

The world of technology has had a significant impact on education and has changed the entire educational landscape. Within the last 20 years we have seen the introduction of  interactive whiteboards, computer suites, laptops and tablets on desks, research online via websites, eBooks and  eJournals it has transformed the way in which students today use techology and it is still evolving.

Whenever students want information of opening up a dictionary or encyclopedia now they just pull out thier phones, tablets or computers and type it into search engines, and becuase of this students can see multi-media versions of the information. For instance, a teacher telling you about the New York City is enhanced by clicking on Google Earth and typing it in, where you can take it right down to the road view.
Of course this readily available information does not aid deductive reasoning skills making your hypothesis or conclusion. It can leave students entirely dependent on technology.

Students can now study from home with education technology that allows teacher and student to interact remotely. Students can download assignments from websites, listen to lectures on podcasts and communicate with the teacher via text messaging. Now a teacher is not limited by the number of chairs in her classroom. One teacher can teach hundreds of student across the country, all at the same time.
