USES OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION SYSTEM2Uses of Technology in Education SystemIn the absence of technology, the entire education teaching system in schools becomesdifficult to manage. Text-based and linear learning used in schools may fail to engage allstudents fully, therefore, leading to poor education. As such, technology is assisting teachers toexpand above theoretical teachings and involve students who acquire information best in othermethods. Its role in schools has shifted from an enclosed class into a flexible learning tool thathelps change the illustration of concepts, assess progress and assign projects. Many governments are researching the role mobile computing devices and laptops canplay both out and in classroom. They are sponsoring the technology infrastructure upgrades tosupport several computers set for internet use (Vries, 2011). They are assisting educators andteachers include technology in their curriculum in ways that excite and engage 21st learners. Thedemand and supply of technology education teachers has been a big issue for years. Teachersgraduation and enrollment in technology education is minimal while their demand is hightherefore increasing the gap of demand and supply. Besides, assigning tablets and laptops,present a harmful threat to the privacy of the student. Through collection of student’sinformation, storing it inappropriately and uploading it to the cloud can present a serious risk.Despite privacy, and supply and demand issues technology acquisition by school is everywhere.Some schools are still looking for additional ways to incorporate more technology. It hasdemonstrated its capability to improve education through the following areas.

Digital models and simulations assist teachers in illustratingconcepts that are too small or too big or processes that occur too slowly or too quickly to explainin a physical classroom. A non-profit organization, the Concord Consortium that createstechnologies for science, math and engineering education, has been the head in creating open,free source software that teachers can utilize to structure concepts. One of their complete projectsis the molecular workbench, which offers teachers with reflection on subjects like fluidmechanics, gas laws and chemical bonding. Trained teachers in the system can develop activitieswith models, texts and interactive controls (Edwards, 2012). The company is developing othersimulations that permit students to carry out an analysis with virtual greenhouses to understandevolution, simulations of ways in which electrons communicate with the matter, and softwarethat assist students in learning energy efficiency physics by structuring a model house.
