7 Ways Technology is Impacting Modern Education

          When I was growing up in school technology was not something that was used as much as it is today. In my schools the teachers would use Promethean Boards to write on rather than your typical whiteboard. Every once and a while students were able to use them during class time if the teacher was doing interactive assignments with the entire class. Today though technology is something that teachers and students rely on to learn and do in the classroom. I believe technology is a great resource for teachers and students but I also feel that there are instances where our society has become too dependent on technology. Overall though I do believe technology with continue to have a positive influence in education. In an article from The Tech Edvocate it talks about "7 Ways Technology is Impacting Modern Education."

          In the article it states that "technology can actually be a major tool, both in terms of pedagogical resources and in terms of connection with the younger generation." The top seven ways according to this article to examine and understand for the use of technology in education are as follows active engagement with the learning material, use of real-world issues, simulation and modeling, discussion and debate boards and forums, working groups, coaching and lastly formative assessment. From this article the reader can better understand how the use of technology can be a positive impact on the education of students. For each of the seven resources there is a short explanation of how the resource helps students learn through the use of technology while also giving an example of how teaching students with particular aspects of technology can be helpful to their success. I believe education will pave the way and be a positive aspect to student success in and out of the classroom in the near future.
