My answer to this question always has been positive. In todays globalization world’s, technology has changed and improved. It emerged with our Daily life. Living without technology is almost impossible. If technology became so common, why do teachers insist on not to use technology?
I chose this topic, because todays technology is really impressing and it can be used for education also. As future teachers, we should adapt ourselves to the further education system. Education is also changing like technology. For example, in Turkey, compulsory schooling was eight years, but now it becomes twelve years. In the past, traditional methods were more dominant than todays’. We should follow the new World new technology. If we cannot keep up with the times, we cannot accomplish our due.
As teachers, one of our responsibilities is making students feel comfortable in classroom in order to get their attention and start the learning process. If we use the technology, we manage it easily. Technology helps us.
For example, if we look at the first pattern of the Gagne’s teaching model, we will see the importance of the attention. The teacher should take students’ attention to teach something. In order to do it, they should use some technological items such as videos, visuals, interesting websites. Thanks to technology, teacher can take students’ attention easily, because students like technology.
All in, of course, still there are some teachers who think that technology is far from instruction, but I am not one of them. I believe that all teachers should adapt themselves to the todays educational needs.
I like this topic due to being relative with technology and i should stress that earlier, technology in education was a debatable topic amongst the society. Everyone had their own views on modernizing education and making it technology aided. There were a huge number of positives and negatives to education technology. But, gradually as technology was embraced by the educational institutes, they realized the importance of technology in education. Its positives outnumbered the negatives and now, with technology, education has taken a whole new meaning that it leaves us with no doubt that our educational system has been transformed owing to the ever-advancing technology. Technology and education are a great combination if used together with a right reason and vision.
