Benefits of Using Technology for Education

 

Technology is referred to as something that is able to provide convenience in various aspects. In terms of education, technology also exerts considerable influence. These two things are increasingly inseparable because the roles of the two are related to one another.

Some of the benefits of using technology in education have been felt not only by students, but also by educators. Here are some of the benefits:

 

1.  Improve the quality of education

Education is an aspect that is believed to open up opportunities to improve the quality of life. However, education that does not run optimally will not have a good impact either. So, the existence of technology can be one way to improve the quality of education. Especially the quality of domestic education.

 

2.  Learning support media

In teaching and learning activities, students often feel bored with the subject matter delivered monotonously. With technology, now educators are able to make alternative teaching methods that are more interactive. For example, by showing lesson material through slides that are more lively or with videos that invite students to focus more on learning

 

3.  Means of getting information

The benefits that can be obtained from other technologies are the ease of obtaining information. Often times when doing assignments or getting material that is difficult to learn, students will tend to look for it through the given textbook. However, now there is also another alternative, namely through search engines thanks to advances in technology. This facility is often used by almost all students and students. In fact, not a few educators use technology to find more information about a subject to be delivered.

 

4. Learning media without restrictions

When in conditions that are full of limitations to get education, technology is here as one of the saviors. For example, when the Covid-19 pandemic occurred at the beginning of the year, teaching and learning activities in schools had to be stopped for some time to prevent the spread of the corona virus. In conditions like this, technology has succeeded in becoming a medium that allows students and teachers to carry out the teaching and learning process without meeting face to face. Teachers and students can carry out the teaching and learning process via video conferencing, send assignments and materials via group chat to email.
