What are the impacts of Technology on Education in Secondary Schools Today?

I think it has opened so many doors to increasing knowledge for all students.   In our Districts they are teaching students math on the computers.  Remember students have to know how to program them to get the correct answers.   So the computer is not really doing their work.  It does help teachers to be able to access them better.  Plus students can work at their own pacing plan  which allows them to go as fast or as slow as they can.  Additionally we live in the age of electronics.   Our children can have global communication as opposed to when we were in school.  I'd like to see more computers in the classrooms because right now the kids have to share,,,,

Good question. I am continually surprised at the loss of intelluctual people these days.  It seems a good education and learning has gone down the drain. I don't know if it's the pupils or the system itself.  Grammer has gone to the dogs.  Kids these days don't even understand the difference between 'its' and 'it's'.

It wont change the way they are used.  It will change how many have the opportunity to use them.  But hardware cost is only one of the billable items when you use computers, software, maintenance, networks, are easily the bigest costs when the computers themselves are resonable.\n\nIn schools laptops are being given to the kids.  They get their books on it so don't have to carry the heavy books back and forth have wireless so can wiki up answers to questions.  They can do their homework on it and stay somewhat more organized with the right education / tools.  Interactive software / videos can be provided, skype phones, chat.. yada yada nothing new just more pervasive.  Like cell phones once everyone got one it just becomes a everyday prefered tool.

"Replace" is a strong word.  I can see them becoming more readily accepted, and probably will become the dominant mechanism for some types of education, but I really think they will ultimately have more impact on K-12 than on universities, and they will never have any real impact on graduate school (beyond some isolated degree programs like the MBA).  The university may be able to farm out a lot of the required coursework...the same types that we used to try to CLEP out of years ago, but I can't see the majority of coursework becoming online only.  Still, the volume of classes that CAN become online will have a great effect on the way we do higher education.

You bet it has.  With the convenience of the Internet, it takes practically no effort (other than time of course) to research topics of interest.  The pre-technology way was to go the library and spend time browsing the catalog in search of books or publications on the specific subject.  And sometimes, you had to visit several libraries to find enough information.\n\nPersonally, I use technology along with published materials in preparation for my classes.  I guess the downside is there is less dependence on people so I spend less time in that area, not that I'm anti-social or anything.\n\nHope this answers your question.

Do you mean "What is the effect of computers on different social groups?"  You will have to write it correctly to get intelligent answers.

Modern technology in some instances would be used to speed training and provide better results. \n\nFor example, I can get on my computer and literally find an answer to any question or information on any topic I choose, whereas in a non technological environment, it may prove to be difficult or near impossible to quickly learn some things, as in (The hard way). \n\nIn summation, your statement refers to dull witted and unhealthy beings, I hardly find technology to be at fault here, more like pour upbringing and substandard  public school results . . . . . . . .wouldn't you agree?\n\nDarryl S.

That's very unlikely. In fact it will be sad if such attempts are made. In any society, teachers play an important role in the way the society shapes up. Education is not just about knowing Maths, Science, History, Geography, etc. It is primarily about what values and ethics do you build your foundation upon, knowing to differentiate between right and wrong, having a broad and open perspective. \nIt would indeed be a gr ea loss for kids if they are deprived of the basic education which nurtures their development.\nHaving said that, I think technology is a great tool to aid teaching, spread information and help understand concepts through audio-visual means. However technology cannot and must not replace humans.

As far as booksmarts & the ability to multitask goes, we will be smarter. As far as common sense, I believe that we have already gotten dimmer over even the last ten years. The ease of technology on our everyday lives, I think, is undermining our common sense & street smarts :)\n\nGood question!

Not really.  Most times, the only person with a computer is going to be the teacher, at least up through high school.  In college, sure, but the excuse is that the students are theoretically taking notes on their laptop instead of chatting/surfing the Internet.

Yes computer as a mean to better educational achievement.\n\nHow I am using? Free online books/online examination/latest research work/ and a lot just from home.\n\nThe time which I had spent outside exploring these things, by the internet it is save and I can use that time for further imporovements.\n\nDo you also know that recently most of the Educational institutions are giving online education.\n\nIt is up to you how do you use internet.

Technology affects society on many different levels. It invades every facet of society: culture, politics, economics, etc. Once a particular technology is widely adopted, it pervades society so that it becomes an integral aspect of society, inseparable from it so that its absence could not be imagined by those using the technology. \n\nImagine society without cars. The way society is structured now relies on vehicles for transportation and an essential element that "drives" the economy. If there were no cars, society would never develop the complex and highly regulated system of roads and highways in existence today. \n\nThere would be no traffic lights, traffic school, paved roads, tire shops, engine shops, auto mechanics, traffic patrol, speeding tickets, car washes, gasoline stops, etc. A myriad of different industries inextricably tied to the automotive industry would cease to exist, along with the jobs that accompany them. \n\nThere would also be less pollution, no car accidents, no war over gasoline, and other negative forces brought about by the motorized carriage. On the other hand, there would also be slower mail service, and slower ambulance, police, and fireman responses to emergencies. \n\nAs can be seen from the above examples, technology always provides positive and negative effects on society. What the effect will be is always uncertain but it is sure that technology has the power to improve and benefit the lives of those living in society while at the same time creating more problems in it.

oh....Using technology based projects and things in my classroom have changed my style completely.  First of all, I use a lot of powerpoint when I lecture and using this means I can show movie clips, cartoons, pictures...anything that relates well with my subject area.  (I teach history) We also do a lot more research, so my students are learning to become careful, thorough researchers.  I use the internet to provide interactive study guides, online quizzes, etc. for them at home.  On review days, we have a huge Jeopardy game that comes up on the digital projector - they get so excited that they end up jumping around and studying for the REVIEW a week in advance.  I have a website that allows my students access to lessons, projects, deadlines, etc, making them more responsible and goal oriented.  AND my school has a great program that catches plagarism on papers, so although I hate that I have, I've caught students cheating and hopefully caught them early enough for them to realize the need for honesty and hard work.\n\nI like hands on learning and I find that computers and technology allow them the opportunities to express themselves and learn in a more...relaxed, enjoyable setting.  I've found in the last little while that students are doing better in class as they get more involved in technology=based learning.\n\nChallenges...sometimes it's hard to intergrate things.  Sometimes my students have to suck it up and learn by lecture.  I think it overstimulates sometimes, so I try for a good balance.  um.  Resources is a big challenge.  Digital projectors are EXPENSIVE.  \n\nCan't really think of many challenges - I'm blessed with a very well equipped, technology friendly school.

I agree that in K -- 8 schools it would be rather difficult to replace teachers with technology. I don't see how a computer can tie shoes, wipe noses, put on band aids, etc. Oh! To say nothing of the fact that any vocabulary that is retained from those years is because of emotional connections made with those words. I don't see the computer being helpful in that regard. Is the computer going to pat the student's shoulder and pass out tissues when a student fails a test? Is the computer going to set time aside to talk to the students about the fact that "Jimmy's" mom died, and he won't be back to school for a while? Is the computer going to go outside with the kids and show them how to measure the telephone pole, tree, etc. using geometry and ratios? Teachers not only teach math, reading, science, Etc.,  but they also pass along the culture of the societies in which they teach. We'd be giving up a lot if we gave up human teachers.

Computer is a part of technology in general. Technology speeds up the learning process most successfully.
