Technology and Education

Technology has really come a long way in the last 10 years or so. Technology really helps make life easier, take for example before when you where traveling you would need to use a map to get from point A to point B. But now the majority of people have some navigation App on their Cell Phone. This is just one of the ways that it helps. Recently there has been an argument that technology also has its downfall especially when it comes to kids. The biggest of them all is that now kids are spending all their time in front of a screen of some sort whether it be a TV, Computer or phone screen. A lot of the time a child enjoys playing games in front of a screen instead of doing their homework which really effect the level of education kids are getting in today's world. But there is also a way technology can help us further and enhance education. Here are just some ways it may help. 

Virtual or online learning: This is Good because sometimes at a school there is not a teacher to teach the subject you want so you can just find a online school and take a course there without the hassle of having to travel to different places.

• Full-time online schools: This is basically the same as the previous one just mentioned but the difference is that instead of leaving you house you can take all your classes from the comfort of your home, this comes in extremely helpful if you live far away from any good schools of even if you are a stay at home mom trying to get a degree.
• Blended learning: The strategy of blending online learning with school-based instruction is often utilized to accommodate students’ diverse learning styles and to enable them to work before or after school in ways that are not possible with full-time conventional classroom instruction. This can be very helpful to children who really struggle in the classroom and it may make learning more interesting to them.      

These are just a Few of the ways technology can help us with education, I am excited for the years to come to see how much more we further this advancement.
