The Effects of Technology in Education
Now days,
all around us are full with computers and gadget. As we know the technology makes
our live more easily. We use technology in every aspect of our daily
activities. Technology can use by all generation, for example gadget can used
by the 3 years old children until 90 years old man. Technology can use for education,
healthy, economic and so on. When
technology is used as a tool in the educational part especially in classroom,
it enhances students learning ability. Technology should assist out teachers
with helping out students. Teachers and educators use to teach our students how
to use technology and now we are using technology to improve academic
achievement.
The Positive
and Negative Effects of Technology in Education
As we know, technology
has been used in the classroom for over 20 years and it gives positive and also
negative effect for the student. For student in 1990 they don’t know how to use
internet as well as the students in 2010 does. But the student in 2010 to easy
to give up to find the math quiz and use the calculator to solve the
multiplication quiz than the student in 1990 does. There are also the example
of positive effect and negative effect of technology in education.
In the other
side, technology has made it so that virtually any student can be a good
student without any effort at all. In our day and age, the key to success
within the classroom has become being able to search Google or download the
right apps. Now, with the right apps a C student can easily become an A student
without becoming any smarter. The idea of getting away with doing just enough
is now adopted by the majority of our youth and is being condoned by equipping
students with more and more technology. Schools are equipping students with
technology in hopes off it aiding them to learn quicker and more efficiently; but
it has been the total opposite with technology becoming the victim of humans
natural instinct to find a short cut. The student also can share any things
using technology such as picture, movie, and games until their own activities. But
they also can share a porn picture or a porn video with their friends using
internet. The technology also makes our student become the lazy generation
because they think we can do anything by using technology. For example they use
calculator to count the easy math, they use translate application to translate
the text, they copy-paste their friends homework and so on.

Technology
plays a very important role in part of the change in our schools as it relates
to student achievement. As students are introduced to technology it will widen
the range of students selections as they learn. Implementing technology in the
classroom will really make a difference in our children lives for the future.
Technology tools and resources has become an essential part of the learning
process which is a part of the outcome of successful academic achievement. Our
children are our future and what we teach them today will reflect how this
world will run tomorrow. So we should give our children all the tools they need
to succeed and be great citizens in the world today, tomorrow and centuries
from now.
The Positive and Negative Effects of Technology in Education
As we know, technology
has been used in the classroom for over 20 years and it gives positive and also
negative effect for the student. For student in 1990 they don’t know how to use

to give up to find the math quiz and use the calculator to solve the
multiplication quiz than the student in 1990 does. There are also the example
of positive effect and negative effect of technology in education.
Researchers
have proven that technology motivates our students and they are more positive
toward school activities. Lumley (1991) stated, "That students in
traditional classrooms become bored if tasks are too easy and frustrated when
they are too difficult". When technology is used as a tool to strengthen
our students and connected with activities to build on their strengths it motivates
our students to learn and succeed. Evidence indicates that when used
effectively, "technology applications can support higher-order thinking by
engaging students in authentic, complex tasks within collaborative learning
contexts" (Means, Blando, Olson, Middleton, Morocco, Remz, & Zorfass,
1993).
Technology
is something that our children are interested in mastering. A report by the US
Dept. of Education (1995) related that students felt that the use of technology
made them fell smarter and empowered them with knowledge that others didn't
have. When given instructions through computers it allows the students to be in
control of the learning process. Technology enhances students learning ability.
Technology is not transformative on its own. Instead of focusing on isolated,
skills-based uses of technology, schools should promote the use of various
technologies for sophisticated problem-solving and information-retrieving
purposes (Means & Olson, 1995). Computers and the internet are
technological tools that are utilized in the classroom and enhance the students
learning ability. Technology in the classroom help students develops skills
that will help them be more effective in today's world. Research indicates that
students that utilize technological tools in the classroom are more motivated
and shows better organizational skills.
According to
the Software Publisher's Association (1994) study, research found that:
*
Educational technology has a significant positive impact on achievement in all
subject areas, across all levels of school, and in regular classrooms as well
as those for special-needs students.
*
Educational technology has positive effects on student's attitudes.
* The degree
of effectiveness is influenced by the student population, the instructional
design, the teacher's role, how students are grouped, and the levels of student
access to technology.
* Technology
makes instruction more student-centered, encourages cooperative learning, and
stimulated increased teacher/student interaction.
* Positive
changes in the learning environment evolve over time and do not occur quickly.
In the other
side, technology has made it so that virtually any student can be a good
student without any effort at all. In our day and age, the key to success
within the classroom has become being able to search Google or download the

In addition, technology has many positive
effects for education but the positive always has with negative effect in
education the win-win solution of this is the teachers and the student parents need
to monitor their student in using technology in their school or at home.
