Technology in Education

Technology has become a defining force in our lives, and its relevance is spreading to virtually every field in one way or another. While some people may go their entire lives never needing to recall the knowledge they gained in various classes throughout their educational career, their experiences with technology will most certainly come in to play very early during their adulthood.With respect to the importance of technology in education, there are four reasons why technology is important:

  1. Expansion of Time and Place: Instead of learning in a limited time in the classroom, a student can use the Internet anytime and discover unlimited range of new information.
  2. Depth of Understanding: The more a student search using a computer on the internet, the more e/she will understand a topic or an idea.
  3. Learning vs.Teaching:Teachers can not only give lectures to students, but also give them projects to do individually so that each one can open the internet and start searching which encourages their critical thinking.
  4. Lower Cost: Using educational tools in the internet web, students can reduce using high cost textbooks which give limited information about a certain topic.

Posting for the first TIME!!!!!!!!!

Really because this is the first time I do a blog, I am so excited to write anything on it, especially everything what  this technology course can teach me. I think that dealing with this blog will make me dealing more with people, and make me open to the world!!!!
I started to be so excited in order to begin working and be more familiar to my blog. All said that it is like a facebook whch you can post what you want and comment on others posts or pictures or videos... However, in my opinion, blog is somehow like facebook but I think it is more interested, attracted me more, made me more motivated to open it everyday.
I don't have facebook, but when I discovered the blog, I realized that it is a new idea to all of us, not only me but all my friends in TD were all anxious to start working on it. Till now, I did ten posts, each with ten lines as the instructor told us, with three pages each with 15 lines. But what I liked to do most in my blog, is to comment on my friend's posts. That was GREAT!!
