TECHNOLOGY
IN EDUCATION
SANCHO M. BOLAÑOS JR. MAEngEd
Traditional classroom instructions fall short of
providing an immediate learning environment, faster
evaluations, and more engagement.
Some of the efficiencies such technologies provide are
simply unrivalled by traditional learning
methodologies. With smartphones and other wireless
technology devices becoming popular among the
general public, it only makes sense that schools and
educational institutions make efficient use of them by
putting technology in the classroom.

students to learn quickly and rapidly.
The Digital Classroom
Digital classrooms are defined by using
electronic devices or platforms such as
social media, multimedia, and mobile
phones to teach students.
It entirely focuses on teaching via the use of
technology. Most of the curriculum is
delivered to students online through an
engaging and interactive platform.

Challenges of Digital Classroom
What could challenge a digital classroom?
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Improve teaching productivity
Teaching productivity may be improved by
using advanced technological aids, which
facilitate better planning, easy and practical
learning, quick assessment, better resources,
new skills, etc
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Develop online libraries
Technological advancements have helped create
and develop online libraries, which have
removed the physical space requirement and
facilitated interaction among students,
teachers, and researchers from across the
globe.
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Promote distance learning
Technological advancement has boosted
distance learning education. It provides easy
access to all learning resources and allows the
facility to interact with the instructor
conveniently. Teachers may quickly build and
manage groups using learning tools and
technology such as social learning platforms
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Facilitate Teaching of students with exceptional need
Help students with physical or learning disabilities
absorb concepts quickly and actively participate in their
classes. Speech recognition, screen-reading tools, Braille
displays, and text-to-speech solutions are among the
revolutionary technologies for the visually impaired; for
the hearing impaired, closed-captioning applications,
sound amplifiers, and video conferencing technologies
facilitate sign language and lip-reading.
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Create virtual classrooms
Digital technologies in education have given rise to
various Learning management systems (LMS). These
LSMs have promoted virtual classrooms where a
teacher can interact with students in real-time,
share his resources, deliver his lecture, assess
students’ learning, collect feedback, and reply to
their queries.
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Build Knowledge and Understanding of Skills
Technologies strive to build knowledge, understanding,
and skills to ensure that students thrive individually
and as a team. Teachers may encourage children’s
curiosity and inquisitiveness through exciting and
instructive material, which has been linked to their
academic performance
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Creating Inclusive learning environments
An inclusive learning environment provides an equal
opportunity for each student with different ability levels to
learn in the same place. Virtual classrooms, video,
augmented reality, robots, and other technology tools make
the class exciting and create inclusive learning environments
that foster collaboration and curiosity while allowing
teachers to collect data on student performance.
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Transformed the innovative way of learning
Students are encouraged to explore information in new
and exciting ways through educational applications and
programmes. Teachers can use interactive whiteboards
and classroom clickers to introduce and reinforce topic
knowledge while changing their teaching approaches.
Reporting and assignment management have changed
substantially rather than generating real report cards
Benefits of Digital Technology in
Education
Making Classroom Instruction Interesting
The instructional material in practical sessions in
digital classrooms lets students pay greater attention to
details through interactive online presentations.
Students now have more options and control over their
learning experiences because of technology in the
classroom.
