How technology has changed the way we learn

How technology has changed the way we learn is in my mind an unnecessary question, an unneeded investigation, the way technology has changed the way we learn is more than obvious in today’s world.

With the use of all online resources, which at this point are literally at everyone’s fingertips, is making the process of learning a much more simple process and I mean simple, because if a student learns something in class in the current day but they haven’t completely grasped it to a level where they are confident or if they have the desire to learn more about it, they can use their own initiative to look it up online, read a journal about it, watch a video documentary about it, listen to a related pod cast nowadays the possibilities to learn are at the student fingertips.

Technology has changed the way we learn, changed it for the better, the way we learn has now branched outside the classroom, to youtube, to Tedtalks, to the millions of people sharing their knowledge with people who would not usually have access to it, and all at the click of a button.

The value of mobile technology in teaching and learning

In this day and age it is becoming more and more obvious that mobile teaching needs to become a big part of teaching and the way students have access to learning is about to become more technology advanced than ever’

In this day and age it is becoming more and more obvious that mobile teaching needs to become a big part of teaching and the way students have access to learning is about to become more technology advanced than ever.

The notion that there are so many factors that could prevent a pupil getting to school, whether it be family obligations, money or any other countless reasons, Mobile technology used to teach students across the world could be the most valuable aspect of teaching.

Looking at some of the software we have been introduced to throughout our ICT module shows that there is so much mobile technology that can be used to teach, but the majority of these software programmes, online or offline, seem to do the idea of mobile technology in teaching no justice.  The software tends to be awkward to work with and buggy.  If mobile technology is to be used as a valuable aspect of teaching and learning there needs to be an advancement in how it is done.  Which is happening, but slowly, the more it is rushed, the worse the software will be.
