My reflection on benefits of Technology integration in Education

After attending this class I came to know about many benefits. Besides the class note, I even browsed the internet. It further strengthened my knowledge on it. I will briefly write my reflection on benefits of technology integration in education.Technology makes teaching easy. It is tiring job for a teacher to always give theoretical explanation. Instead of that, we can use audio-visual presentation (using computer and projector). It will help students understanding concepts much better. 

Technology will help to track students’ progress. We are not limited to old way of maintaining diary and note about every student. We can use technology platform and tools to track students’ achievements. For example: Google docs. Technology makes learning fun for students. Now a days, students are addicted to Facebook,  Pinterest, Instagram, and other websites from the early age. We can make use of those platforms for educational purpose. We can create a group in Facebook for the constructive discussion. In such case, students will take part and learn as this platforms interest them than normal textbook and notebook task. 

Technology makes distance learning accessible. If we use technology for the learning, teacher/students can sit back in the home and take part. It will also help them gain knowledge they are interested in. For example: if student is interested in making paper flower that is not reflected in the old curriculum, teacher can recommend him/her to browse the internet. It will help student feed his/her hunger for that knowledge

.

Students and teachers can access information at any time. In absence of technology we have to look for the book in library. To get the particular kind of book that we need, it will consume more time. Today technology integration makes everything different and simpler. Within no time we can get what we want precisely. If the student doesn’t understand the lecture that teacher gave, she or he can find for simpler instruction and information with a single Google search.  Technology also makes collaboration more effective. We can create collaboration work using online tools and apps. They can work from home, since the teams are connected through the internet. So, these are the lesson that I learnt on this topic. It is user friendly and we can use it in the class too.
