INTRODUCTION

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for

practical purposes, especially in schools and other industry.

Technology can be a powerful tool for transforming learning. It can help affirm and advance relationships between educators and students, reinvent our approaches to learning and collaboration, shrink long-standing equity and accessibility gaps, and adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of all learners.

Our schools, community colleges, and universities should be incubators of exploration and invention. Educators should be collaborators in learning, seeking new knowledge and constantly acquiring new skills alongside their students. Education leaders should set a vision for creating learning experiences that provide the right tools and supports for all learners to thrive.

It is important to acknowledge that students are already interested and engaged in using technology, this creates many amazing opportunities for schools and teachers to benefit from integrating some forms of technology in the classroom and to make teaching and learning more effective.  Some importance of using technology in the classroom:

students look forward to be more focused in the

 subject or subjects they are studying. Technology

 allows different occasion to make teaching more 

fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching same

things in new ways. For example, teaching through enjoyment,

 taking students on effective field trips and using other online

 learning technique.

Improves knowledge retention

Students who are involved and focused in things they are studying, are looking

forward to have a better understanding retention. As stated before, technology can help to motivate active engagement in the classroom which also is a very important factor in understanding retention. Different types of technology can be used to experiment with to help benefit students in terms of retaining their knowledge.

Encourages individual learning

No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different abilities. Technology provides great opportunities for making learning more effective for everyone with different needs. For example, students can learn at their own speed, review difficult concepts or skip ahead if they need to. What is more, technology can provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students. Access to the Internet gives students access to a broad range of resources to conduct research in different ways, which in turn can increase the engagement.

                  Encourages collaboration

       Students can practice collaboration skills by getting

 involved in different online activities. For instance,

 working on different projects by collaborating with others

on forums or by sharing documents on their virtual learning environments. Technology can encourage collaboration with students in the same classroom, same school and even with other classrooms around the world.

Benefits for teachers

With countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers

can use different apps or trusted online resources to enhance the traditional ways of teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson plans, grading software and online assessments can help teachers save a lot time. This valuable time can be used for working with students who are struggling. What is more, having virtual learning environments in schools enhances collaboration and knowledge sharing between teachers.
