WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
Technology is the skills, methods, and processes used to achieve goals.
People can use technology to:
- Produce goods or services
- Carry out goals, such as scientific investigation or sending a spaceship to the moon
- Solve problems, such as disease or famine
Technology can be knowledge of how to do things. Sometimes, people embed technology in machines. This lets others use the machines without knowing how they work. Technological systems use technology by taking something, changing it, then producing a result. They are also known as technology systems.
The most simple form of technology is the development and use of basic tools. The discovery of fire and the Neolithic Revolution made food easier to get. Other inventions, such as the wheel and the ship, helped people to transport goods and themselves. Information technology, such as the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, has lead to globalization.
Technological Products Used in Education.
Technological tools such as computers, projectors, smart boards, microscopes, televisions, overhead projectors are used in training classes today.
The Importance of Using Technology in Education
It is a fact that technology is in almost every area of our lives, with the continuous development of technology and the increasing use of fields. The individuals who use the technology in the best way in every field are generally promoted to be the leader of that sector. It is known that the increasing use of technology has taken its place in the education world. For this reason, most students and teachers use technological applications in their educational lives. The education system is continuously developed by combining familiar education methods with technology and following different developments in the light of technology.
The Importance of Technology for Students
Now it grows up as a more dynamic, original and self-developing generation. In the past, research was made from books and encyclopedias in which they did homework or research in any field. However, today, thanks to the internet, the student does research in the field he wants and can reach it in the most efficient way in a short time. Of course, the issue to be considered here is to do research for the right thing.
The Importance of Technology for Teachers
So many applications have been developed in the field of educational technologies that a teacher using these applications correctly can take the result that he / she could not get during the day to an hour. The simplest example is smart boards. Instead of writing long and long information on the board, you can reflect any information you want to the board instantly thanks to smart boards. The lessons will now be much more efficient, as this will only focus on teacher-only lessons. And things that take the teacher’s hours with many educational technology applications are now resolved within minutes.
