Educational technology, especially computers and computer-related peripherals, have grown tremendously and have permeated all areas of our lives.

[b]so true...........everywhere you go, computers.........email............chat............cells............

[bespecially for us students..........the internet is sucha necessity...........research is made so easy..........

getting in touch with family that are outside of the country........email............chat.........

I agree fully miss, as an example look at us now, doing something never don before in UB. We are having an online class

Tell me if im in the forum or am i still suppose to be trying?

I strongly beleive but only if it is used appropriately. It has brought us so many things for example i can now chat wiht my sister who is far away in Chicago and at the same time see her. Yes it can speed up learning but uou need to know how to integrate it and use it.

It is very true for today technology makes our life easier and it helps in all areas of study. Technology, especially computer and the Internet have many resources available for everyone. If you need a answer to any question, the Internet in the way to go.

technology has influenced a lot in the lives of everybody and has a lot to offer the only thing we need to do is to know how to operate it and be able to explore so that our knowledge in technology would expand. technology everyday is advancing so we as facilitators we need to be on the alert so that we can imaprt our knowledge to the ones we teach.

Technology is growing drastically. For us to keep up to date and to be able to provide our students with accurate information we need to adapt to changes and to educate our selves in all the technological advances, for it is becoming part of our daily lives.

I read an article on "computer Technology" and it states that in the year 2010, computers will be able to have voice/talk to the user. technology is expanding and growing tremendously over these past years. Everyone benefits from the use of Technology,especially students. Educational Technology is an asset to learning and will soon become a need to all users.

yes, because in many ways it has made life easier specially for us teachers who are always in need of new ideas and methods to enhance the learning of our future generation. by implimenting technology in our classrooms students experience a bit of what is out there, which makes them want to know more.
children become active and anbitious to look for answers by themselves once they have the knowledge and access to any technology equipment.

technology is something that very widely used in today's world. it something that is starting to become part of our daily lifes. imagining a world where technology is needed to help us go on our days work but the negative side effect is that the future will also bring more computer frudes and dangers.
technology is good but only to a certain extend.

Technology has its advantages and disadvantages. The internet can help while doing research but some children waste a lot of time browsing inappropriate subject matter especially when they are unsupervised while parents are at work.

i believe that technology plays an important role in our daily lives. technology is everywhere we go. it helps makes work easier for us as students and workers. now a days to be knowledgeable about computers is an asset to get a job. technology is and will always be a major part of our life.

its tru if its use wisely and if people espacially educators possess adequate skills. since its new we need to research 2 keep up with it becas it is being upgraded regularly so we need to keep up. it can also b an easy way 4 teaching our children.

Technology is a big part of todays's society. We need to apply it in our everyday lifestyle, students, teachers and the business community works with it on a daily basis and it does help for us to get qualified and trained to work with the necessary equipments to familiarized our selves with the use of the equipment in order to make life easier and less complicated.

I totally agree our world has become so technological as a result if u do not know about computer and other technology you will be left behind. This has foced many of us to learn about computers.We can talk to our family and friends who are millions of miles away using technology itsn't it wonderful? only with technology.

I enjoy technology... it's keeping up with it all that's a bit frustrating. Like everything else, it just takes time, and once we get the hang of it.... smooth sailing!!!

I believe that technology plays a very important role to our society today. For instance it reduces risk of death when chemical industrial plants use computer machinery instead of human beings. In addition, everything is now being done by computers as they are more efficient. Banks use them, stores even use them airports. Hence technology is a catalyst and to ride the tide we must encorporate it into our school system.

I am starting to enjoy this aspect of technology. I think that with practice i can learn to be confident. I believe that if we can teach students to use technology in a responsibe manner it can be very helpful. Students' critical skills need to be developed in order for them to get the optimum benefit

It is certainly true technology plays a big role in today society. Everything we do requires the use of technology and with technology also it will keep us up to data with the last information.

Technology is a part of our daily lives so we need to learn how to use them effectively both in and out of the classroom. Technology can make life much easier if we embrace the opportunity to use them.

In addition, millions of students as well as other individuals have been introduced to computers presenting the most-up-to-date and innovative materials in computer education and the internet.

Teaching is changing and, in many ways, becoming a more difficult job because of wide numerous contradictory expectations but with the use technology it arises positives changes to the educational system.We are living in a society of information overloaded with the expectation that students will learn high-level skills , to be critical thinkers such as how to access, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize vast quantities of information. The use of technology helps educators to see their job in an easier way. Students can go to the internet do their research and get well informed instead of waiting for the teachers to provide them with everything. The use of technology effectively definately will foster learning.

Nowadays, almost everything is prectically run through computers. If not directly link, our lives depend on one way or another to this tools which have permeated in all areas. Since we live in a competitive world, it is only logical that we should become prepared to survive in this fast-growing phenomenon.
