TECHNOLOGY AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN EDUCATIONAL

Technology is so important for education not only for homework or creating classroom groups in social networks, but for making the learning process in a much better way. Education in the past was pretty different. Students worked with books and through memorization and speeches from the teachers. But, how significant was that learning? Nowadays, teacher have a variety of available materials that they can use thanks to technology. They can use videos, music, pictures, piktochart presentations, internet games, etc. When students learn by these methods it is better because the students learn information and they never forget it. It is completely significant for them. Some students have visual learning styles, so when they learn a new word and the teacher presents a picture that represents that word, they never forget it because they relate that word with the picture. The same happens with songs and videos. However, the learning process becomes more interesting and moderate. Students enjoy the moment that they spend learning in the classroom, and they feel motivated. Motivation is another very important element for education because students need to be motivated to learn more every day.
