Think
The Importance
of Technology in Education Sector ?
There is no stopping technology and
education. Technology is in the straightway or even a long far way. And
education is in behind or the same way. Nowadays education can be showed as an
activity which has encouragement to other sectors. It can be counted as a
future development. The development can not be stopped or even moved. The
dynamic of these activities can be showed as a change of the human itself. The
value of discovery is more equal with the human wishes to be better. In the
same way, we must understand the technology, the education and the connection between
technology and education.
According to the environment
observation that I ever had, technology is the one of tools, media, or system
to inform or solve information and problem. In other words, with technology we
will take many benefits and also another impact. Technology can be side-effect
of the education or it can be opposite. Thus, education is efforts which have
to create condition of teaching learning process. By keeping those good efforts
we can take education as a supporter in the development of technology. And the
development purpose makes the learner to be active. In hence, the education can
be resulted from the potential development as Intelligence Quotient (IQ),
Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Spiritual Quotient (SQ). Although those quotients have
own percentages. For the example IQ is not the only one main aspect to be
marked, but it must be concluded EQ and SQ aspect. All of them, technology and
education have influences. Just as technology is in their capacity, so also
education is in that way to educate person. It is especially for human. Technology is used in education
innovation. It means, there is continuing between technology and education in
innovation. But as a teacher or event student must be selective. The innovation
of technology has not been taken directly. It considers the benefit and impact
of the technology. Technology is not only based on the cheap or expensiveness
the price but also the usefulness to the user in education. As a learner for
the future, we have to prevent the bad things of technology or use technology
in education that has no benefit and reduce the human right to explore their
ability and chances. A new generation should change the influences of
technology in education step by step. In contrast, we can add some education
learning deeply before going to explore technology. So, influences of human
activities in technology can be identified as an effect or causes of problem in
education if we cannot control technology well.
Education is one of the arts in
teaching. Art is used in education system
to make learner comfortable with the educator in teaching learning process.
Creativity of educator takes hold the role. The part of an
art can be looked when an educator can draw a soul of student in studying
passion. How student do their activities with all of happiness and no forcing. In
teaching learning process, we can use many methods or education system. In
creative method, we can invite the learner to be active or even interesting to
the materials and especially the educator. On the other hand, education still
may give a role obligation to face off technology. The relation between education
and technology innovations can stimulate learner to be scientific thinking and
be objective to give solution. Of course, the education is the first part that
we must increase than others. We can arrange the education to play the role of
technology development. We see that the role of education in relation with technology
is development of thinking systematically, creative, innovative and realistic
to be realized in application of technology.
Technology and education have many
mutualisms interest in connection. Each of them can make the different impact.
The connection between education and technology is mutual Corporation about the
result and process which can influence each other. Good education will be
followed by the great technology. The connection of technology and education is
if the good education can walk together with developing of technology. It is like to produce active learners we must
be ready with the facilities. For example we can give them a complete library, e-book
materials and information, LCD as a learning media, networking area etc. All
the things can improve them and give place to create their creativity. Besides
technology is as a facilitator of education, education and technology can be
related and build the development of learner. It is not only good in education
but also the knowledge of technology for delivering the materials. Then, it is
not easy to make it real. Selectiveness and creativities are needed to improve
it. For example, when we have to give English materials to the learners, we can
use applications of the technology as a teaching media. We can make games for
giving a task. It is like simple games with many application materials. We can
also give online tutorial, independent assessment, team work additional duties
and use different presentation in PPT,
Webquest, Prezi etc. And as the learner believe that all of creative materials
can stay to their mind and create a memorable thinking in student’s brain. It
is easy to be saved and used again if someday they will need it. Some other improvements
in connections are also needed to increase benefit. It can be like adding the
sum of facilities, repairing wrong thing quickly, making everything comfortable,
following workshop or competition, etc. Finally, the connection between
technology and education can become the best thing.
In short, technology in education
can be implemented
as a new innovation continuously. As a media in education, technology can
inform or solve information quickly but still effectively. Along in the same
lines, education also has role in teaching. Both of them have some relation. In
same purpose to build education to be better with pushing of technology can
make new innovation for the future development. We should create new innovation
and prepare whatever the development increase or high contrast changing of
technology and education in the next future. How and why education is still the
first thing that we must build. Therefore, the importance of technology is in
education part. We should think that the education must be built first to
create different thing in technology development.
