Technology - A Boon To Students

 TECHNOLOGY - A BOON TO STUDENTS

New technologies like AI, machine learning, and educational software aren't just changing the field for students; they're shaking up the role of educators, creating philosophical shifts in approaches to teaching, and re modelling the classrooms.

Technology today is all pervasive - entwined in almost every part of our surrounding. It affects how we live, work, play, and most importantly learn. With technology becoming an increasing requirement across every industry today, it seems only logical for schools also to effectively deploy technology in the classroom.

However, there has been a raging debate about the use of technology at educational institutions especially those dealing with young and impressionable minds. The debate has lately turned even more interesting as those who support the use of technology at schools, or even preschools are post digital natives or the millennial generation. This demographic cohort, known for its near inseparable existence from their smartphones, while realizing the ill-effects of excessive use of technology is unable to clearly veto against its use for they do realize that technology is here to stay.

An outcome-based education is going to equip the future workforce with higher adaptability to new challenges – including the threat of technology taking away jobs. It is, therefore, our collective duty to leverage technology now to shape young minds so that they are able to overcome the challenges that the future may hold for them.
