Importance of Technology in Schools
As
technology is bound to rule our present and future, it is good to obtain a know
how of the technological reforms at the earliest. Children learn faster and can
adapt to changes easily. If they are trained during their school years, they
have high chances of becoming experts in technology. An early beginning is
always beneficial in the long run. When we know that technology is bound to be
a part of their future, it is best to introduce them to it during school life.
Studies
have shown that children conversant with technology show improvements in their
writing, reading and mathematics skills. Technology has also contributed to the
decrease in drop out rates, improvement in student attendance and enhancement
in their learning abilities. Technology in school benefits the children during
their higher education. It lays a strong foundation of a successful
professional life of an individual.
Computers
can offer more realistic explanations of various subjects. The Internet is an
ocean of information, which can be harnessed for the rendition of information
in school. The inclusion of technology in the process of learning makes
learning an enjoyable activity, thus inviting greater interest from the
students. School records, the
information about all the students and the teachers and also other school
employees can efficiently be maintained by means of the advanced technology.
The data pertaining to the school employees and students can effectively be
stored in a school database. The school could have a library system, which by
the utilization of technology can be maintained in an efficient manner. On
similar line, the attendance records of the pupils and teachers can be
maintained by means of a student database. Moreover, the school can host a
website of its own holding information about the school. The introduction of
technology in schools can thus result in a decreased use of paper and in
bringing most of the school office work in an E-format
Thus we see that technology not only benefits
the school students but also eases the office work. It makes possible, a more
effective way of storage and distribution of information. The realization of
the importance of technology in schools and its successful implementation is a
necessity.
