Why is technology used?


So much pressure is put on using technology, but why?  What are the benefits?

         Technology enhances and supports education by:
1.    Allowing for collaboration
2.    Extending the “classroom” time
3.    It can allow for a global perspective
4.    Facilitates student differentiation
5.    Students find information rather than just receive it
6.    Engaging students
7.    Provides almost immediate feedback
8.    Allowing distance education
9.    Providing access to more relevant, timely content
10. Facilitating peer reviewing
11. Can be used to assess students quickly
12. Allows data to be collected and analyzed (from assessment, lab, etc.)
