Technology in Education

In this 21st century, technology has developed very rapidly, and it becomes very useful for all people in this earth planet. In education, technology also useful for both teachers and students. As Sheryl Nussbaum Beach said, “teacher will not replaced by technology, but teacher who don’t use technology will be replaced by those who do”.

So, if we are teacher, we should integrate technology into education, because it can make the teaching learning process more interesting for teachers and students. For example, students are not bored with the activities in the class, and teachers make their ways in teaching simplier with technology.

Everything has two sides, bad and good. So does technology in education. Technology in education has many advantages, such as it will help students to improve their learning (yeah, because they can access to the internet what they have not understand yet about their lesson), they can also search other references or something else to support their learning, they can share their knowledge with their friends in the different places easily, and they can create something new based on their creativity through technology. So, technology helps students to learn independently and to be creative person.

But, the disadvantages or the negative effects of technology are: first, technology can distract students to learn, because usually they use it for playing games, as we knew, now there many online games are provided in the internet. Second, usually students also use internet for facebook, twitter, or another social media, and reading web pages that are less important and not related with their lessons, the effect, they can fail during the test. Beside, students who addict on technology (gadget for example), will ignore people around them, included the teacher, because they concentrate to their gadget. More, when they get assignments from the teacher, they also can look for the answers in the internet, and then they just copy it down word for word.
