 My Philosophy on Technology and Education

My personal philosophy for using technology in education is that it provides fun and excited for students, it makes communication easy and wide ranged and it makes information easily accessible. Using technology in education is not a norm in are school just yet but I believe that there will be a time not too far in the future that technology will be used in all forms of education from kindergarten to tertiary education.

Using technology in education allows for students to have fun learning new things. It is different from the normal classroom where students use books and the teacher is the source of information. In education that uses technology, students can search the web for information, they can play educational games and visit helpful websites. Because students are actively involve, learning become more exciting. They are in control of moving the mouse or pad, pressing enter on the keyboard so they are hands on directly impacting their own learning.

Communication is easy and quite simple with using technology in education. Students and teachers can send emails to each other about certain topics and students can instant message each other about what they are doing. With programs such as Skype students can have group chats in which they can discuss a specific topic given by the teacher.

Using technology in education also makes information easy to access. Teachers aren't the sole source of information. Students can read on their on and click through information at a fast pace. Students can watch videos, listen to speeches and access the news. Thousands of links of information appear almost instantaneously.

 Technology makes education easier for both teachers and students. It allows them to communicate more efficient, it is more fun for students and it allows information to be attainable and accessible for all.
