How Important is

Technology in
Education? Pine
Cove’s Top 10
Reasons
There are countless reasons why technology is a key aspect of learning in the
schools. Whether we like it or not, technology is everywhere; and in order for
our students to survive in post-secondary education and the business world,
they must know technology.

To narrow it down, we came up with 10 reasons for the importance of


technology in education:

1. Students demand it.


Students are engaging with technology constantly outside of the
classroom. Kids like to be interactive, and learning through technology
has now become a part of their lifestyle.
2. New teachers are demanding it. 
The technology movement has been implemented in post-secondary
education as well as other professional jobs. For new teachers,
technology is considered a necessity for the learning environment.
3. Kids are the digital native.
Kids know technology better than most adults. It has become the
easiest way they learn, because it is such an integral part of their life.
Engaging with technology in the classroom has not only helped them
learn better, but they also acquire multi-tasking skills. At this day in age,
they hardly know how to learn without it. This knowledge is important,
because they would be way behind in the real world without it.
4. Kids can learn at their own pace.
We know from years of experience that kids learn at their own pace, but
sometimes the traditional classroom makes it difficult to do so. With the
integration of technology in education, children have the ability to slow
down and go back over lessons and concepts, and more advanced kids
can go ahead. It also frees up the teacher to help kids on a more one-
on-one level.
5. With technology, there are no limitations. 
Having access to other information outside of the book gives students
many different ways to learn a concept. Teachers can come up with
creative ways to teach their students that keeps them engaged.
Technology has changed the learning environment so that learning is
more hands-on. Schools throughout the nation are diverse in income,
and often kids don’t always get the resources they need. The
implementation of technology in schools helps close that gap.
6. Technology has the ability to enhance relationships between
teachers and students.
When teachers effectively integrate technology into subject areas,
teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach.
Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and
fun. Students are also able to collaborate with their own classmates
through technological applications.
7. Testing has gone online
One protocol that schools don’t have control over, but must adapt to, is
online testing. Testing online is the way of the future, but it has a lot of
advantages. Assessing students’ performance can be done instantly
with technology. Beyond seeing test scores in real-time, teachers can
better track and understand students’ grasp of the subject.
8. Multitude of resources 
Computers, tablets, and other forms of technology bring multiple
resources for the teacher that’s not in the book. They not only keep
students engaged with exciting new features and apps, but also have
other ways to teach students material. Every kid learns differently, and
technology helps with this gap as well.
9. Technology keeps kids engaged.
The students of this generation are considered technological learners.
They learn best being more interactive, and technology is what helps
them do that. Children often struggle to stay on task or interested, and
with resources to help the teacher, they can better stay focused and
learn faster.
10. Technology is necessary to succeed outside of primary and
secondary education
Whether we like it or not, technology is an essential concept to learn.
Because it changes so quickly, children are better off learning about it
sooner. It is a primary part of every industry, and there is no way around
it. These days, technology means more than just learning basic
computing skills. Technology has made itself part of every aspect of our
lives today, and the students who understand it are the ones who
succeed in the business world.
