1. How technology is going to affect how your students are going to be learning?
2. How you as a teacher will be learning?
Educational technology, especially computers and computer-related peripherals, have grown tremendously and have permeated all areas of our lives. It is incomprehensible that anyone today would argue that banks, hospitals, or any industry should use less technology. For young people, use of the Internet, for example, plays a major role in their relationships with their friends, their families, and their schools. Teens and their parents generally think use of the Internet enhances the social life and academic work of teenagers.
The Internet is becoming an increasingly vital tool in our information society. More people are going online to conduct such day-to-day activities as education, business transactions, personal correspondence, research and information-gathering, and job searches. Each year, being digitally connected becomes ever more critical to economic and educational advancement and community participation. Now that a large number of people regularly use the Internet to conduct daily activities, people who lack access to these tools are at a growing disadvantage. Therefore, raising the level of digital inclusion by increasing the number of people using the technology tools of the digital age is a vitally important national goal.

With the help of technology, distant learning and assessment are never too hard anymore. Submissions of homeworks and assessments can be done easily over the Internet and for the assessors, they can mark the work online while sitting on a couch at home and sipping a cup of cuppoccino! Indeed, there are negative perspectives for this kind of convenience as people are meeting face to face less and genuine conversations and interactions could not be carried out.
With the help of technology, educators can now produce effective and attractive teaching aids without spending much time and money. For example, with the invention of smartboard, educators can download loads of pictures, clips, softwares and music as an aid to the teaching and learning environment compared to hand-produced teaching aids such as flash cards and display sheet where a lot of time and effort are involved.
With tons of informations and knowledge that are easily available on the Internet, learners and educators who wish to enhance themselves intellectually can enjoy the convenience of learning with lesser time and cost as well. Online dictionaries, encyclopedias and education programmes are there to aid any problems encountered during learning.
In conclusion, technology has definitely brought a revolution to the world of education.
