An essay on "Lack of technology holds students back"
This is the 21st century, the age of science
and technology. Science and technology has drastically changed the world today.
One of the sectors developed by science and technology is the education sector.
The introduction of technology in the classroom has been a
blessing for students. Learning has become easier than before. Classrooms are equipped
with smart learning materials like smart boards and computers. Students can
learn interactively with the help of digital presentations and animation.
Every student
has smartphones and laptops on their hands with the help of which they can
complete their thirst for knowledge. There are many online learnings apps with
the help of which students can learn at their own pace. Those who want to learn
more can dig up matters on the internet and learn themselves at their own
capacity.
Technology also reduces the cost of education. One can
attend international courses sitting at their home. Many such programs are
being conducted today. Even if you have no money to enroll in such classes, you
can gain knowledge of various subject matters for free on google and youtube.
Even if you have no money to buy physical books, you can get thousands of
e-books at cheap prices or even free of cost.
The importance of technology
in the education sector has come in limelight due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Corona brought huge devastation to the world today. Many people lost their lives.
Many industries, hospitals and shops closed. People are locked up in their
houses due to the fear of Corona. Since it is not possible to conduct teaching-learning
activities in such an environment, educational institutions like schools,
colleges and universities are also physically closed. But the teaching-learning
activities did not stop. Teaching-learning activities continued with the use of
digital devices, the internet and online meeting software like Zoom, Google Meet
and Microsoft Team.
Education was the only sector not much affected by the
pandemic. It was due to the use of science and technology in the education sector.
If there were no digital devices, internet and online meeting software then
what would be the condition of the Education sector today, can you even imagine?
Thus, these points prove that education is impossible without the use of technology in today’s scenario and lack of technology definitely holds students back.
