The Impact of technology as Educational Learning Tool

Technology is Everywhere 

Technology can be called as learning tool because nowadays technology are already common to students. This new generation already grow up with technology. technology is used to support both teaching and learning. technology infuses classrooms with digital tools such as computers and other devices. It also increase student engagement into their studies and motivation and it also accelerates learning. It accelerates learning because technology evolves and it does not stay on one stage. It keeps on upgrading and upgrading.

Just by sitting and facing the computer a student can learn many things trough exploring different programs or applications. Is is also called learning by doing.

A student can have a wide range of interest,outside their chosen area of study. they are not locked into one thing, although all are highly motivated and pursue their interest with passion. They use the latest technology like cellphones, computers , cameras and other devices. they expect things to work properly and work fast. The students get challenged. they learn by doing, not by reading the instruction manual or listening to lectures.

They will go on to become the leaders of our nation in many different roles like politicians, artisans, business executives, scientist and journalist. Much like how we learn by doing, that is, by practicing the art and science of or chosen paths.

Using Technology only enhances the hands-on experience, it does not or it cannot replace human interaction.

Information is on the Internet


Information is easily available from the internet, especially from the sites like  wikipedia. Because the internet provides easy information fast, the temptation to click " copy paste " and pull in quotes from a website without attribution is great. But students still get caught because faculty members can search for familiar phrases or quotes to root out plagiarism. Cheating is on the rise in universities. Based on the very social nature of Net generation and and the tremendous amount of information available to students these days at the touch of a button, the traditional definition of cheating is changing. How faculty assess is changing as well. Faculty still give written exams in subjects like English and Filipino. But they must be ever more alert to catch the cheating student. Cellphones and text messaging have allowed students to text back and forth between each other, because of emerging technologies, faculty are having to adapt their classes and how they assess students in order to uphold academic integrity.
