Educational technology can be defined as the integration of Internet and other types of information technologies into learning experience. Technology has caused a revolutionary change in the classroom and teaching methods all over the world. This term grows along with advancements made in the field of education. With the increased use of technology in education ,the methods and aids used for learning and teaching have drastically changed in the past few years. Apart from this, there are many benefits of incorporating technology into education.
One way technology allows students and education to improve is through the accessibility of instruction and courses. Online courses allow students to have access to courses the school they attend does not offer. It also allows students who are unable to attend school for health and other complications to still be able to obtain an education in a convenient way.
Another benefit I have notice from educational technology is its ability to automatically adjust to student needs. Technology can allow students to receive instruction that is individualized to their level of understanding. It allows students to progress at their own rate and pace. It allows gifted students and struggling students to move at a pace that does not leave them with feelings of frustration.
