Secondly, using technology in education provides student easier access to knowledge or information. Many years ago, we couldn’t imagine that we can get to know new information without going out of the house. Students spent time in the libraries to write the report, project, or academic paper, but now information is easily accessed. In present, learning is not only in classes, but especially people can learn from many sources, such as the information superhighway which is like electronic library. Technology gives students the most current information available. Electronic textbooks or web-based content can be updated in real-time. Students can already learn from their own even without the assistance of their parents and teachers. They are just going to surf the internet in order to look for the lessons they need to study. Quick accessibility and well equipped with the skills and knowledge in operating a computer would be very helpful for the students.
Apart from the above benefit, educational technology also makes student enjoy studying in classroom. Technology that is used in the classroom is very beneficial in helping the students understand and absorb what they are being learned. For instance, since there are a number of students who are visual learners, projection screens connected to computers could be put in classrooms to let the students see their notes as opposed to simply sitting down and listening to the teacher teach. In addition, the students feel enjoy when teachers uses some touch screen technology instead of white board in order to make classes more interactive and interesting. In that way, it is easy to attract the kid’s attention by using picture or cartoon in the internet or computer. By the way, the involving technology in educational process make education more enjoyable both foe the learners and the teachers.
