Education has become a necessity in today’s working environment.

People look for ways to further their


education from elementary to post-secondary institutions. College is the most popular option for those
who have the financial means to do so. Beyond using technology as a crisis management tool, by
integrating it into existing curricula, teachers can leverage online learning as a powerful teaching tool.
But there are disadvantages to the conventional educational model. The majority of colleges are very
pricey and can be challenging to get into. For students who can't or don't want to attend a traditional
college, online colleges provide an alternative. Effective use of digital learning tools in the classroom
increases student engagement and helps teachers improve lesson planning and promote individualized
learning. It also helps the student acquire essential skills for the 21st century. Virtual classrooms, video,
augmented reality (AR), robots, and other technology tools not only make lessons livelier but also foster
collaboration and curiosity, giving teachers access to data on student performance.

Globally, technology is changing education and it offers several new possibilities for today's educational
institutions of all kinds. Technology is now used to enhance traditional teaching methods, supplement
traditional teaching methods, and provide digital resources for students. Technology can also be used to
provide interactive learning opportunities such as online conferencing and digital teaching materials.
Technology can also be used to improve the way information is conveyed, making learning more
efficient and effective. The rapid expansion of online courses and the extensive use of mobile devices to
support a wide range of children's programming tutorials and mixed learning programs (part online, part
classroom) are one of the best examples.

Almost every aspect of our lives, including education, has been revolutionized by technology.
Technology is transforming education by making it easier to learn, teach, and evaluate. Overall,
technology has had a positive effect on education. Students can communicate with teachers and other
students more easily thanks to technology. Additionally, technology can make grading easier for
teachers and make learning more engaging in the classroom. However, technology is also subject to
controversies, and some teachers and students are wary of its use. Additionally, technology can also be
expensive, and out of reach for some schools, and it can lead to a digital divide, which is some of its
drawbacks. Generally speaking, technology benefits education.

POSITIVE IMPACT

The way teachers teach is one of the ways technologies are altering education. Teachers can now
remotely impart knowledge to students more easily. A visual explanation of each topic makes it more
interesting and keeps students engaged compared to the traditional lesson structure. From PowerPoint
presentations to simulations and 3D visualization tools, technological developments have opened up a
variety of educational resources for educators to help students understand concepts effortlessly.
Modern technology is also breaking down the unnatural divide between theory and practice, facilitating
engagement and learner engagement with real-world subjects rather than memorization.

At the time of COVID also only technology made the education system run. Moreover, students in an
online classroom can contact their teacher at any time. In discussions with the teacher and other
students, they can also take part. Students with disabilities who cannot travel to traditional schools will
benefit the most from this type of education. They now have access to the same resources as their peers
and can complete their education remotely. Technology is used to enhance traditional teaching
methods. This includes technology being used to improve the way teachers present material and assess
student knowledge. Technology can also be used to provide digital resources for students, including
online interactive teaching materials. Technology can also be used to provide digital resources for
teaching staff, such as collaborative learning platforms.

The way we learn is also changing due to technology. The ability to learn more flexibly is made possible
by technology. This is possible because anyone can access online classes. This makes fitting your classes
into your busy schedule simple. Additionally, you can meet with student groups that you wouldn't
typically have access to through online classes. This enables those with physical or mental impairments
to receive the same education as their peers in the able-bodied community. Additionally, it enables
underemployed individuals to advance their careers and find new employment. For older workers who
may have lost their jobs to technology, this is especially helpful. Now that they have access to classes
that will keep them current with industry standards, they can continue working. Many potential
students think an online degree is less of a commitment than attending a physical college class. Online
classes also cost lesser than attending a traditional college and can even be free of charge for some
programs.

Technology can make grading in schools easier and make learning more engaging. Technology can also
be used to distract students from other activities, such as interacting with other students. Using
technology, education can be easily customized. Because of technology's ability to monitor students'
progress and assign them individualized lessons, this is possible. This makes it possible to set specific
learning objectives for students and match them with the appropriate kind of learning experience.
Additionally, it enables students to both work from home and pursues their education. This makes it
simple to start businesses and find employment after graduation.

NEGATIVE IMPACT
Books and face-to-face classes have dominated academic classrooms for a very long time. For this
reason, the sudden introduction of video presentations, e-books, and learning management systems
into the classroom has left many feeling a little apprehensive. When compared to traditional schools,
technology can also isolate students. Since students are less likely to interact with their classmates in
person during online classes, these classes can be less social. Since they are less likely to become
distracted by socializing, they also tend to be more focused. This is due to the possibility of online
courses being more demanding than conventional ones. Additionally, there is less chance for students to
interact with their classmates after school.

The cost of technology can make it unaffordable for some schools and students. Some schools may not
be able to afford the infrastructure needed to support them. Additionally, some students may not be
able to afford it. Using technology can be challenging if students are not given the proper training by
teachers. If it is not used properly, students may become easily overwhelmed and lose focus. This is
especially true if they have unique requirements that call for additional care and support. For online
classes to be successful, a qualified instructor is required.

CONCLUSION

The impact of technology on education has been positive overall. Technology makes the life of students
and teachers easier. However, it is important to note that technology is a tool used in education, not an
end in itself. The potential of educational technology depends on how educators harness it and use it, to
best support the needs of their students.

Proper planning and execution can help alleviate these issues and make technology an even more
beneficial tool for education. Technology can also be distracting, and not always be suitable for all
courses or all students. It's important to use technology effectively and responsibly so that technology
enhances learning and education rather than distracts from learning.
