Innovation and Technology are the two words that have been defining the 21st century. When the computer was invented by Charles Babbage in 1832 nobody knew that it will write a new Age for the world “Computer Age”. But today nothing in this world can work without technology. In a time when people stood at long queues to make an STD call who knew that they will do face timing on a 4g network.
If we go by
history then the first innovative tool that entered the classroom was the
projector. It was used in those institutions where a lot of pictorial
representation or diagrams were used. But today we have switched to Digital
classes, video classes by teachers thanks to Coronavirus. In this article, I
will try to assess the important benefits that have made technology an
important part of education.
Study/Teach at
your comfort
Although
technology has a plethora of benefits to offer to students or teachers. But the
most important reward it has given is E-learning or digital learning. With
growing online classes that are being held by reputed teachers on various
platforms, students can now study in the comforts of their house. Take for
example earlier a student preparing for govt exam has to roam attend coaching
that exhausted his time and energy. But with E-learning, he can attend the same
class while staying in his bedroom leading to 0 exhaustion and more
productivity.
Environment
Friendly
Today everybody
is talking about climate preservation, dying natural resources are a question
of worry for many. But the problems need an effective solution and not just
words. Technology has led to the development of e-books in the form of pdfs. It
can be accessed through PC or smartphones and educational institutes are also
encouraging its use amongst students. This has reduced the production of
paperback books causing less deforestation.
