 CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION




The age we are living in is completely technology-driven and there is no fact otherwise. Businesses, jobs, education, hospitals, sports, and the list goes on. Every component of the modern world is directly or indirectly dependent upon the advances of technology. Education is one such sector.

Education is the foundation for creating the super world mankind dreams of. Education is no exception when we speak of various sectors being dependent upon technology. Technology has rapidly changed the ways of teaching and learning. Every year, teaching methods are modified along with major-minor modifications in technology. Educational Institutes are investing vast amounts to bring the finest of technologies into their campuses. 

Visual learning is one of the biggest benefits of technology. Computers and projectors allow students to have a better understanding of concepts that were taught passively through texts. Virtual reality has made it possible to create effective practical learning through simulators. Simulators do not only provide a better medium for practical learning but also a safer way to perform difficult or dangerous practicals. Softwares used in classrooms provide quizzes, tests, activities, and better and faster evaluations. Students can access e-libraries and study whatever, wherever, and whenever they wish. A huge amount of time is saved because of faster technologies available for admissions, teaching, and learning.

Higher studies like pilot training, medical training, automobile manufacturing, and many more were far less safe before technological aids were introduced. Simulators, sensors, designing tools, and a vast number of technological applications have made such studies more effective, safe, and accessible. The quality of education is dramatically improved because of technology and continues to improve further.



Today, more than ever, in the pandemic circumstances, technology has yet again been recognized to be the most crucial part of education. Online teaching platforms have helped educational institutes and students to connect again and teach and learn in new ways. Simulators have been proven to be the best option for practical learning. Even in these chaotic times, students are being educated in as effective ways as possible and technology have the most important role in this new and different than ever education.

          The Smallest Computer In The World The Smallest Computer in the World Fits On a Grain of Rice. Researchers at the University of Michigan just created the world's smallest computer (again). After all, it's unclear if the IBM computer even counts as an actual microcomputer. The IBM device lost all its programming and data as soon as it turns off, unlike the Michigan Micro Mote, which retained its programming even when it wasn’t externally powered. “It’s more of a matter of opinion whether they have the minimum functionality required,” said David Blaauw, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at University of Michigan who helped develop the University of Michigan's newest tiny device. If the IBM machine constituted a computer, then University of Michigan would work to gain back their title: their latest micro device measures 0.3mm per side (1/10th the size of IBM’s computer), and is smaller than a grain of rice. The de...

Thinking generally indicates the way we carry out thoughts in our minds. It is the internal stimuli that trigger our mind and we are bound to set up an image of the thoughts which we carry from our inner instincts.

  Specialties of the month of May The month of May signifies so many different things to people that it is hard, to sum up, its importance in a single thought. While May is considered a time of new harvest and celebrations for farmers across the country, it also ushers in the dreaded Indian summers, which in turn is symbolized by vacations for children and family trips to the hills for a lot of Indian families.  However, the importance of May runs much deeper than just the basic symbolic inferences to which we as a society often restrict ourselves to. It also has a significant place of honor within religious and spiritual connotations, cultural diversity and societal practices. Here are some of the unique things which make May, the most mystical of all months: Despite a majority of months being named after Greek Gods and even the occasional Roman king, May is named after Maia. She is the Greek Goddess of fertility and this is signified by May being the month of harvest for far...
