Technology can be seen around us, technology dominated almost everything around us. It brought us marvelous advancement in our lives, advancements that could bring either positive or negative impact in our society. Technology has been around us and reshaping our society from the start, education is one of the things that technology changed. Even for a short period of time education has greatly changed around the world. New learning techniques has been introduced for the last decade. With the technology around us especially computers, laptops, mobile devices and more education has been drastically changed and transformed how the way students learn. Students can easily finish their school works with the help of computers, are willingly to read books through E-books, learn new things with the help of internet and more. These are the things that changed during that last decade of innovation. There are upsides and downsides of having new technological advancements in education. The media that i have chosen will be able to present the changes technology brought to education for the last few decades. How it transformed learning to a whole new level. The advantages and disadvantages of technology in education. These media caught my attention because it used creative techniques like interactive blog, creative, informative and fun to watch video. Picture that creatively shows the difference of having technology beside education. I feel that these media has clearly expressed it’s messages clearly.I agree that technology surely evolved and transformed our education, even though it has its downsides i think we can adapt to ensure that it won’t greatly affect our society. As our society evolve with the help of technology specifically our education, i hope that we don’t get too attached to technology that we ma forget all those traditional ways of learning. As one of my media said that learning through devices have different impact on students. Students were transformed to adapt all of our technological advancements. For me I would prefer to combine both traditional and new techniques or ways of learnings. Because these technology around us students would greatly help us. I hope that it won’t come to the point that we get ahead of ourselves and that we will forget our roots. I hope that we won’t forget all our textbooks, blackboards and all those traditional but essential tool in our learning experience. We are bound to make advancements in our society, let’s just hope that we don’t over do it and forget about everything from the past. Change is a good thing when we are changing for the better and not for the worse, let’s keep a non-stop progress for the betterment of our society.
