Education
empowers a generation with knowledge and smoothens the path for a better future
and if it is digitalized with technology the transition becomes smoother.New
technology is common but new thinking is rare.
This rare thinking ignites that
fire which fuels the empty minds with imagination. The great aim of education
is not stocking the young brains with loads of already known concepts but
motivating them to invent something new and this is best achieved when equipped
with technology.
Technology
acts as a mode of instruction encouraging experimenting in a new generation to
invent something new within the process of learning. This ensures the overall
development of the child. Technology enhances the working of the human brain,
manipulating its thinking power and finally motivating young brains to do
something new and fruitful.
This
enhancement of cognitive growth can be best if accompanied by technology.
Learners in this fast-growing techno world don't use much guidance on how to
use technology but they surely need to be guided for effective and proper use
of technology.
Technology
has greatly changed the classroom scenario. In one of the best CBSE Schools in Noida, every classroom of our school is a
purely smart class having modules created by Extramarks. Gone are the days when teaching used to be teacher-centric and
students were the passive participants in classroom deliveries which resulted
in passive learning.
The demand of the hour says we don't need to produce couch
potatoes through passive learning but at the end of the teaching session, the
young minds should be filled with more zeal to experiment with the learning
part and this aim is better achieved when we integrate our teaching with
technology.
Today a great deal of information can be obtained with a single
click on the internet and formal classroom learning is supported with various
virtual online learning sites. These technological opportunities enhance a
student's academic performance henceforth giving a big thanks to
technologically integrated education.
Technology
can bring textbooks to life, bringing peers in different parts of the world
together and bridging real-time gaps. It changes the way a student connects, communicates,invents
andinnovates. Technology does not equal a learning outcome but improvises and
enhances learning outcomes. It not only opens the doors of their minds but
releases their creativity.
The
walls of any classroom are no longer a restriction to hold the expansion of
that classroom. Technology can take your classroom to any part of the world and
integrate your teaching with any nation, any culture and any religion. Thus,
widening the aspects of teaching and making it globally effective. SKYPE is one
of the most widely used video calling apps, which is widely used in global
classrooms. With the use of these apps we not only integrate technology in
education but also appreciate global citizenship.
Planning
new reaching strategies based on the latest technologies is the key feature of
21st century education. It enhances teaching with the creation of such
instruction material which not only encourages creative thinking but uses
various smart devices.
Technology
in various forms if used correctly and under guidance will surely prove a boon
for our education system and can connect our learning styles. But again we need
to be more vigilant and careful with our learners while the usage of technology
in our classrooms.
CBSE
promotes the use of technology in its curriculum and encourages the schools and
students to inculcate more of technology-based education. CBSE organizes
various workshops and seminars for its teachers to keep them updated with
latest teaching technologies so as to enhance the teaching processes. Many schools use technology-based teaching
structures and strategies.
ASPAM Scottish School, one of the Schools
in Noida has whole of its curriculum based on technology integrated
education. Extensive usage of smartboards with the teaching content built in
collaboration with extra marks is enhancing the academics of students greatly. The content of these smart boards widely
covers the main syllabi of all the subjects with enough Practice. Smartboard
content often uses animation based teaching to make it more interesting for the
students.
Modern computer labs with the latest version of computers are making
students more and more tech-savvy. Students find it more challenging and
interesting to make their own version of robots in the Robotics lab.
Doing practice
sessions in various subjects on tablets in a genius corner lab adds up to
improve the academic performance of a child.In all integration of technology in
education not only improves a student's personality but challenges his thought
process also. From learning to collaborating, technology teaches a student to
be more productive and responsible, henceforth making him a better human being.
