The Importance and Correct Use of Technology in Education

In the 21st century, technology now occupies a very large part of our lives. It is possible to find a technological application in every imaginable place, from our daily life to our business life. Our understanding of education is changing with the contribution of technology.

It is a fact that technology has positive features in many areas of our lives when used consciously; It positively affects our lives in many different areas, such as facilitating our lives, making information much more easily accessible, thus making children curious about different areas of interest, contributing to their cognitive development. In addition to these, technology has many negative effects on children when used excessively and unconsciously. The fact that children spend most of their time with technology in an uncontrolled way during the play age affects them both physically and psychologically.

Technology has come to cover a large area of ​​our lives. Ignoring, imposing a ban, pretending that they do not exist do not make children acquire a permanent behavior. Instead, we should teach our children to use these communication tools correctly. We must control the usage times and contents, and ensure that computers and televisions are used in the common areas of the house. We must ensure that they use the time they spend with technological devices in a more valuable way.

It is very important that our children do not look at the internet and social media as social life. It should be viewed as a tool that makes life easier. We should be able to use it to improve ourselves and let it go when necessary. It should be prevented from using technology for the purpose of relaxation in their spare time and that our children spend hours in front of these screens. However, other than that, it is equally useful to use to contribute to education and personal development.

It is possible to come across an instructive application in the field of all kinds of art and education in the smart phones we use. Today, assistive applications developed especially for learning foreign languages ​​are used seriously. That's why it's important to use our technology correctly. We can also use the time we spend playing games or randomly browsing internet pages to help with our education. Not just phones. Smart boards, which became widespread in schools, helped us save time effectively in lessons. Of course, this reflects positively on our students.

From the point of view of educational institutions, even Technology has saved time, allowing us to handle our students' exams and your skills quickly, but also more thoroughly. It can be said that our communication skills have improved at the same rate.

Accessing active content, supporting the subject described in graphics in conveying visual and auditory elements are just a few of the priorities we deal with in technology.

Let's not forget that technology and all the opportunities provided by it can turn into an excellent educational tool under appropriate conditions, if attention is paid to prevent waste of time and internet addiction. The more we use it correctly, the more we will benefit ourselves.
