Use of Technology

Introduction

Teaching and technology can have a direct relationship, as the new emerging technologies are driving educators to understand and leverage the use of these technologies with in the class room.

This widely accepted perspective of using technology within the classrooms has become the centre of increased debate, driving the field of education towards an imperative revolution which entails thorough transformation of the educational practices and systems. Although it is widely accepted that the field of education is as similar as the other sectors in its need to adapt to changes in technology and modify its systems accordingly. It is also evident that a number of educators have skillfully created dynamic learning environment by implementing aiding their teaching practices with technology (Klopfer, pp. 3).

Making assaults on the current practices of the educators, when united with the scarcity of recognition for the present best practices does nothing but create obstructions in the development of the education sector. There are countless educators, currently present in the industry that are not only masters in their crafts, but are also implementing a wide range of outstanding strategies for ...
