Technology helps in improving our learning experience.
Technology is now the most accepted and convenient form of teaching the students. Technology is relentlessly transgressing the barricades of outmoded learning styles thereby creating an unabridged and different perception of erudition. Technology has the capability to empower the teachers and the students with altered and new approaches of evaluation and dipping the workload of the staff. The technology benefits the learners by helping them to entree variety of tools and resources to abstruse information and also helps the learner construct their own understanding of the research subject.
There are numerous benefits that aid not only the students but also the teachers in the teaching and learning process. Students who gather information from the net not only have a better understanding of the subject but also are self – directed and independent as well and can work on the guidelines set by the teachers and make their own assumptions of the requirement of the subject. When the child himself finds the information using the technology, it is easy for him to grasp and remember the information easily and if he is supposed to create a presentation out of the collated data it becomes easier for him to remember and the data is imprinted in his mind for ever. The language used on the internet for the published topics is of high level and hence helps in improving the vocabulary of the student as well.
There are various resources available for one topic on the internet and thereby gives a better insight and numerous viewpoints of the topic to the child. In maximum of the schools now, teachers also educate each topic with the help of PowerPoint presentation thereby making it interesting for the students and easy for them to grasp the knowledge. Initially with the traditional methods it was difficult and time consuming for both the students as well as the teachers to research on the topic, but with the advent of internet, all the information is available on the fingertips and is very quick. In fact there are many students who study about the subject to be taught in the school and are well prepared with their doubts and questions for the teacher, in such cases the teachers have to be also prepared with the answers which are even outside the book.
Hence, technology has become an important part of our lives. Today, everybody is so used to the internet that everything is available within seconds and at your fingertips. Technology has made work easy for everybody and interesting as well. Technology is helping in making the students brighter and full of information right from a very young age. It is very rightly said by somebody, “We are living in the technology age” and each of our works are dependent on some or the other technology available.

- Technology definitely plays a very important role in the learning process. Right from the time of the growing up age of the child, there are many activities that is available on the Internet to teach the child and make them realize the realistic appearance of any object rather than a bookish view. Child learns and grasps well with the 3D image rather than the 2 D figures and drawings on the books.
Anybody learns more by visualizing than just by reading out the structure and portraying the same in their minds. The image thus portrayed does not necessarily map with the realistic world. Not only the kids, the technology has given a wide scope of learning to all age groups. We can know and expand our knowledge regarding any field by searching in to the details regarding the same sitting at our homes.
A simple mobile phone has been converted into a mini personal computer which is capable for performing more functions than a personalised computer installed at home. Right from our kitchen to the bathrooms and bedrooms, we use the technology in one or the other form. Every device simplifies our physical labour in some way and also provides us the scope to learn the technique of getting the task in a simpler fashion.
Though technology has improved our learning experience, but it has deteriorated our physical activity to bare minimum leading to various life-style disorders.
