In 21st century, there can not not be two opinions about the role of technology in the learning environment. Being a teacher it is our responsibility to teach the students about the responsible use of this learning resource.

Technology is important as a tool for creativity, innovation and precision. I think it is only important because it offers students options and advantages; in the same way that learning in any other area of the curriculum is studied because of options and advantages.

Technology is very important in education for several reasons. It provides a great medium which can be shared globally and accessed anywhere there is internet potentially. Technology is a growing field which makes digital literacy a important skill for employability. As teachers we need to be able to educate students with skills that will help them to be employed in the future.

The evolution of technology has allowed for a growth and speed in the way education is delivered to students, how teachers can interact both in classrooms and out of them with their students. It does open more possibility of risk to students confidentiality and safety, which is of concern to teachers and schools. The benefits of the pure access to information which previously would have been bound to hard books, has opened up more opportunities for schooling.

Technology is a vital part of everyday life. It has been embedded into workplaces, social activities, leisure time, planning, and even sports. It has a place in today's society, and therefore, has a place in schools. Students must learn how to interact with it in a variety of ways to better understand it as a medium for communication and innovation.

Every student has different ways of learning, for example, by reading, listening, visual displays, discussions and other ways.
Some students like to learn by teachers writing on a blackboard, some learn through DVD's, some with powerpoints, some through listening.
So the more technologically advanced we become, the easier it will be to teach students in different ways and meet all types of students needs.

Technology can be a great tool for student learning. Teachers are able to moderate and monitor learning within the classroom. Certain learning activities involving technology may be more             beneficial for certain learning needs of students. Students can develop their nonverbal reasoning skills through technology based activities. It is important to have a purpose when implementing technology as a classroom activity. When learning does not contain any meaning especially when it is technology related, students can get distracted. This may make the learning environment more stressful for the teacher and the classroom. Technology when planned and scheduled well can make a positive impact on student learning.

Technology can support learning by giving students new pathways to achieve educational goals. It can allow students to exercise their creativity, learn from a wider range of sources and develop skills that are necessary in the workforce and daily life. Technology may be a distraction in classrooms, especially if classes are not engaging. This answer reflects my belief that technology can be powerful when used with appropriate classroom management and teaching plans.

Technology is important in education because it is the language that current students understand in the 21st century. With technology being the ultimate way people communicate and connect in everyday life learning will be isolating for students if we overlook incorporating technology to engage them at schools and in the classrooms. Another reason as to why technology is important in education is because technology is the primary source for many in gathering information about anything. Tehnology makes resources easily and fastly accessible, that I am contributing to this forum from my smart phone right now.

Tech is important in Education for the same reasons that it is important in everyday life. It offers an unprecedented ability to connect and communicate. It offers access to huge amounts of information which was previously difficult, if not impossible, to access.

Digital technology opens the door for students to have access to learning anywhere at any time and provides us to be able to better cater to the individual needs of students based on their learning strengths by allowing for a greater element of choice in their studies. It can connect students to the outside world and allow for more efficient assessment, communication and relation.

Technology in schools can provide unique learning experiences outside what most students would consider a traditional classroom setting. If used correctly and in a way that inspires innovation, creativity and exploring it can help encourage students to engage in their own learning. Technology is growing as is our use of it so importantly I believe it should be part of our responsibility to show them how to use it effectively.

The value of technology in school is that it can ignites interest and passions and engage students in the learning, but it comes at a risk that students can become distracted and less focus in an unmoderated digital environment.

Technology is extremely important to education as it transforms and improves a student’s learning experience. Students are able to enhance their learning and knowledge with access to the most up-to-date information, connect with others and champion their own learning. In contrast, the use of technology runs the risk of distraction and disengagement from learning in a group environment or independently.

Technology is a powerful tool to aid students in their journey of attaining knowledge and understanding ideas. It can be used as a platform to access a variety types of media that can help students communicate their thoughts and ideas. There are also education based websites that students can work on which caters to their learning needs.

The possible risks with the use of technology lie in the student's own desire to want to use technology for the purpose of learning. Technology needs to align closely with the classroom learning goals for it to help student learning.
