Technology and education~

Technology and education? Nowadays, technology are always related to each other.. Why is it so? From the blackboard, we move on to whiteboard and now a lot of schools are using Overhead projector (OHP). Day by day technology are becoming more important especially in education. Teachers tend to use technology in their teaching. It is easier for the teachers to integrate technology in their teaching because it is handy to them.
Moreover, teacher need to improve their skills in using technology because lots of teachers especially the veteran teachers do not know how to use the technology around them. So, by integrating the technology in the classroom, it might improved their skills. Besides, it is to avoid the students to become bored of the traditional way of teaching. I'm not saying the traditional way is not good but sometimes making a difference might be good and helpful.
I am student myself. Doing this blog alone is considered as technology. I also have to submit my assignments online. I need to update about certain things in ADEC. Every of these are involved in my learning process which is part of the education I have to go through. So, technology are needed for me in order to educate myself.
In this era of science and technology, we need to get used to the technology and cannot limit ourselves to the traditional way of learning because we might not be able to catch up with the lesson. We need to open up to the new technology so we will no be left behind. In short, education and technology compliment each other.
