How has technology been used in education?
Technology has been used in education to enhance the educational framework that we have always used. Computers are used to perform research; in the past, we used encyclopedias and microfiche. Computers are used to type up those research papers; in the past, we used type writers. Teachers are finding games to enhance students' learning; in the past, we played physical games. In my classroom, I use technology a lot. I use a LMS to deliver all assignments and course information to my students, I also record lectures and instructions for students to watch. While students watch the videos, I make individual contact with them.
How should technology be used in the future?
Technology should be used a bit differently than most of us use it! We should use it to provide a learning experience that cannot be gained without it. It needs to be exciting, meaningful, and new. We need to let students choose what they want to learn and how they want to use it. We need to offer them courses online that are not currently available in their schools. We need to provide enough variety that there is something for everyone.
