Schools around the world have been enhanced by the presence of technology. Whether someone is writing an essay on a laptop or studying the mysteries of the cosmos, advances in tech have changed education in ways such as the Smartboard. In classes, of various subjects, it seems no classroom is complete without a Smartboard. The interactive aspect of the boards assists people with kinesthetic and visual learner profiles which can peak interest in the subjects taught or makes it simpler for the students to understand and therefore hopefully hold on to the information better. Another technological advancement for learning is none other than the PC (personal computer) because of its access to many websites linked directly to education such as Google Classroom which is used for teachers to give assignments to students via Google Drive.…

Educators can be great teachers as well as great learners. Everyday educators are learning different ways to inspire their students to learn Technology is one way that the educator are using to inspire their students since computers are one of the main technology that the students know how to use in the classroom. In the article, “The Importance of Classroom Usage in the Classroom” states that “Technology is not central to the teacher preparation experience in most colleges of education”. (Office of Technology Assessment, 1995). They do not know how that the computer can help even if a child had a disability. Another report states that the connection between teachers and technology was a wakeup call. Technology was becoming so important that teachers had to go back to school for training and way to use them in the classroom. As a future educator, I want to encourage and guide my students to do the best of their ability, and to keep up with the growth of technology.…

One similarity of online vs. traditional education is assignments. Assignments are a part of any school environment. School would not be a learning opportunity if one does not incorporate what he or she learns through assignments. Both online and traditional education has individual and group assignments.

Advancement in Computer Technologies had led to the development of what is referred to as Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is now changing the way things is being done in virtually all human endeavours, and very slowly - the content and practice of education are beginning to follow suit. AI is contributing new approaches to education and learning. The hallmark of AI applications in education is that they attempt to explicitly represent some of the reasoning skills and knowledge of expert practitioners, and to exploit that expertise for teaching and learning. In business we see growing evidence that information technologies are leading to substantial improvements in productivity by automating routine activities (Zuboff, 1988). Similarly, it seems that if we can impart basic cognitive skills of teachers to computers we might delegate some teaching to machines and thus improve educational outcomes.…

Integration of ICT in Education: Pedagogical Issues Dr. Anjali Khirwadkar Center of Advanced Study in Education Faculty of Education The M.S.University of Baroda India. Abstract The progress of any country depends upon the quality of education offered and its practices. Indian education was well known for its Gurukul system of education in the Vedic age. Education in India has undergone various phases and stages of development starting in the Vedic age to the post-independent period. At all stages of development there was a concern for bringing in quality education reflecting on the practical aspects in education. The great Indian thinkers had emphasized on developing the inner potential of individuals by reflecting on unique potential of individuals. Getting educated is solely dependent upon the individual teacher’s role to set conditions and generate environments for learning. The recent curriculum framework 2005 as proposed by NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training), India focuses on the issues of; Connecting knowledge to life outside Shifting from rote learning to constructing knowledge Providing a wide range experiences for the overall development of a child Bringing flexibility in the examinations The recent developments in technology have changed the world outside the classroom; it is more eye-catching and interesting for a student then the classroom setting. As a result, students find classroom instructions as dull and devoid of life and do not interest them for learning. The information technology has made learner WWW-afflicted. This is because technological developments have brought developments in two ways: First, by enhancing human capabilities by helping people to participate actively in social,…
As we approach 2007, computing has changed from pure equation processing technology, embodied by the MARK 1 at Harvard and the ENIAC at the University of Pennsylvania, to information processing technology. "To know... used to mean having information stored in ones memory. It now means the process of having access to information and knowing how to use it.” School boards and PTA’s once dictated what was necessary in the classroom. Now education experts and IT gurus set the bar. Use of computers combined with the internet make the distribution of information quick and equitable. Computers just make sense in the classroom. They improve higher order thinking skills and thereby fit in to the paradigm of the acquisition knowledge being cognitive. One teacher, Ikaika Plunkett of Kahuku High and Intermediate School in Hawaii, sums up the benefit of having his students complete their…
