Oh! What a boost || Education and Technology

Oh! Great is technology and what it brings!
Where would we have started if not for you, great technology!
With these lazy bones of ours, would we have gotten everything we needed at ease if not because of you, great technology?
Thanks for coming

Hello everyone,
Wishing you a successful day and week also

Let's jump into the topic of discussion... Role of Technology on Education.

I personally love this topic of discussion very much because as a student, I have a direct benefit on these technological advancements and so do many students out there.

Most times, I really wonder how schooling would have been without technology.... I can't even get myself to imagine that because it will really be nothing to write home about, but then, thank God it is here.

How these devices help me in my schooling:

The help of these technological devices to my studies can never be underestimated at all... I really have a lot to talk about but then I wouldn't like to bore you with so much words so let's jump into the few I'll talk about;

  • Easy Research:

Technological devices have made research very easy honestly.

Students can now easily get any, I mean, literally any information at all they need just at the comfort of their homes.

With just a search on our phone, we can get as many explanations as possible on a topic we are confused about.

This is a great advancement because unlike the old days where all the information you get is gotten by your personal efforts and how far you can walk down the one library you might have in a state where everyone goes to ( maybe someone already took the book you dearly wanted to read and then you have to wait until God's appointed time🤧)

Technological devices have made all these problems a thing of the past as we can easily get whatever we want with easy stress and at the comfort of our homes.

  • Live videos teaching and practical:

You all have heard about so many YouTube teachers?

As a medical student, I have benefitted a lot from this particular development.
There are many good teachers out there on YouTube where you can not only read about a particular topic but then get to watch lectures about them.
You will also have an opportunity to ask question and you will be able to get answers sooner than you expected.


A sample from YouTube

This hasn't been in place before but because of the great technological advancements, it's now popular and accessible to all making Education as studying easier.

  • Study anytime and not necessarily handouts:

With the great technological advancements, you can easily read anywhere you want ( bus, airplane, boat, bedroom and anywhere at all).

This has made studying fun to a great extent unlike when we had to wait to get the lecturer's handouts and textbooks before reading.

It's always so difficult carrying those textbooks and handouts to everywhere we go and when we want to have a quick revision on what we seems to be forgetting, we can't do that because we are not with the textbooks.... With these technological advancements, it's now a thing of the past.

  • Less Expensive:

What will I say without mentioning this great point.

With technological devices, even the poor could go to school comfortably.

You don't have to kill yourself to get those costly textbooks as you could easily get them through many websites.

https://www.pdfdrive.com/
An example of such websites

At the comfort of your home and with just #100($0.22) subscription, you could download any textbook of your choice and read them at your convenience.
This is really great!

  • Have a view of what others learn

This is really the best thing that technological devices have done for students.

You not only read findings that are specific to your country but you read findings from other countries too.

It's just like technological devices have made study so small that you could say that even though everyone at different countries studying and paying different tuition fees that we all are studying the same thing and it was made possible by no other angel except technological devices.

Did They Constitute A Distraction?

My answer is definitely NO.

The NO I mean here isn't that technological devices do not distract, no, that's not the point but then, look at the facts very well...

Would you actually blame the technological devices or would you blame yourself for the distractions?

The point I am trying to make here is that technological devices on their own doesn't distract us but then we distract ourselves with the way we use them and the blame should be ours (but of course, we humans always love dumping the blame on something else and these devices were the perfect match for that).

You should rather be asking yourself this question,

Why are some people making good use of their devices and are happy but all you have to say about the devices is apportioning blames of distraction?

What do you think is the future of education with respect to technology in your own opinion?

The Future we say Lies In The Hands Of The Beholder .

Education is holding technological devices in a very great esteem, hence, I really believe that In the nearest future, Education will so greatly improve alongside the various technological devices that are improving because as we know, the scientists aren't taking a rest on this particular field.

Most times, I really wonder how schooling would have been without technology

Nearly 65-70 percent of people visit social networks and games rather than read articles or books. If people read more, they wouldn't be distracted by social networks and games.

All of this, however, is controversial.

Whenever you share your YouTube channel or video on a social network, people learn something new or refresh their knowledge.

Really nice post! Thank you for sharing.

Well, I can't quote a figure because I am not sure of that but I also do know that a great number of students visit the internet for their project, their research and their personal readings also.

They are indeed controversial but then I strongly believe that the benefits far outweigh the distractions we think they may pose

Technology has helped alot of students so much. Both in theory and in Practical. It's hard for someone not to find any topic he or she wishes in YouTube for more clarifications especially when you have a lazy lecturer 😂 who doesn't want to spend much time in educating the students well. All thanks to data... coming to distractions, it's in our hands as you said my dear...self discipline must be applied for to enjoy the benefit of technology.

You have kept very good facts about technology in education.
The best fact is that in today's time it is very easy and cheap to study with the help of technology. Because when we used to study, the books used to be very expensive and then to understand those books and Had to take tuition which is also expensive.

Hello @sperosamuel15 here visiting your interesting publication. Hardly nowadays, there can be education without technology, they are hand in hand, both are intertwined. Like everything else, it requires training and responsibility, because it has advantages and disadvantages. But it is proven that more are the gains.
Happy week

Indeed... With video tutorials readily available, you can learn anything at all that you want. And you can also learn it at your own pace and knowing how good you are getting.
That's one if the beauty of technology.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Arguably speaking who would be blamed when a 13 year old teenager using a smart phone for the first time mistakenly clicks an ad that leads him to a porn site.

Of course measures are taken to prevent such occurrences but then, mistakes happen.

The impact of technology on education is huge and I love how you spoke about the distraction side of it.

People blame the device for causing distraction whereas they are the ones that aren't disciplined enough to study with those device.

The impact is really great I must say.
And yes, people always look for what and who to blame whereas, we should be blamiing ourselves for lacking self-discipline

The technological advancements we are witnessing has so many positives attached to it. I'm not even in any formal learning institution, but I learnt so much with the aid of these technologies. The importance cannot be overemphasized, yet it is understandable that people like to mention how distracting it can be to have these techs around.

What I always say is that people will surely find ways to distract themselves even in the absence of technology.

That's exactly my point 😂
When one wants distractions, even something as small as Ludo games and even ants could be a distraction tool so they should stop dumping it all on technological devices

Yes ooooo. The distraction hits really hard even without any technology. People will always get themselves distracted with just anything.

Man, as always, you put very well-guided inputs on the topics you choose here. For me, the most important part from this post comes when you ask: «Would you actually blame the technological devices or would you blame yourself for the distractions?» Your answer is mine as well, and that can be extrapolated to almost every aspect of our lives when we blame external factors instead of ourselves. Best regards.

And it's like you said, we always blame external factors rather than ourselves... We really have to change that about us

Technology is a blessing. In as much as it's being abused, it still has brought a lot to people. More good.
