The Impact of technology as Educational Learning Tool 

Even though computers are seen to be a positive tool to have in the classroom, there are 

obviously some disadvantages that need stating too, one being that if they are used in schools, 

and all children come to school with different backgrounds, and various amounts of computer 

experience, then how can you cater for that as a teacher? 

Obviously whatever you teach your students, there are always going to be a number of abilities 

across the classroom, no matter what the subject area is being taught. Allowing students to 

develop at their own rate is crucial to teaching. Some students will always be high achievers in 

many subjects, whether they have had past experiences or not in the lesson. Some learners will 

always find school and education a challenge, no matter how much time you give them, so 

understanding this is important to consider, when allowing students time on the computer. 

Computer technology also offers opportunities for self-directed, personalized learning 

projects that can tailor the curriculum to student interests and engagement, and allow 

teachers to facilitate active student learning rather than merely the rote transfer of 

information.

It is important to consider that technology is becoming more and more vital in being able to 

interact with it and that it is an essential tool within education and the society. Many jobs now 

require that you are computer literate. A website that was based on whether technology has an 

impact on education, discussed that:

Today, computer education is a part of school and college curricula. Considering the 

wide range of applications of the computer technology, it is necessary for each one of 

us to befriend computers. Considering the advantages of the Internet technology, it is 

important for each of us to gain a basic knowledge of Internet access and connectivity. 

We live in a technology-age and hence, it is extremely important for us to introduce 

ourselves to the new inventions and discoveries that have made a difference to our daily 

life.
