Technology in Education

     In today's society, it is hard to avoid the impact that technology has had on our lives. This can especially be seen in the field of education. In recent years there have been great advances in technology that allow educators, as well as those being educated to more easily do their jobs.

     Teachers can show videos on televisions or projectors. There are even whiteboards that double as computers. The education process has also been greatly advanced by the internet. Teachers can search the web for ideas to use in classes, or even post assignments on a school web page.

     Technology has probably had an even greater impact on the life of a student. They can use the internet to do research for papers. Computers allow for the ability to store assignments and documents on school servers. This allows students to access data from any school computer.

     Whether technology is being used by teachers or students, education is made easier. With better computers and devices being created each year, the possibilities are endless.

  2. This is all very true and the devices created each year are getting more and more advanced, for instance the new Ipad 2 coming out sometime in the future is said to have an app to remotely access your desktop from your Ipad and move files etc, sort of like the program "Teamviewer" you can get on your Ipod touch, Iphone, and Ipad, but more advanced.
