THE IMPORTANCE of TECHNOLOGY in EDUCATION
A Major responsibility of schools entering this new era of globalization is to prepare students for the new challenges that are rapidly changing our society. One of the greatest challenges currently facing our youth is finding meaningful employment. The ability to speak a foreign language and computer literacy are currently two of the most common criteria required from people wishing to enter the workforce in Indonesia (and globally). So that way, technology is one of the most important things in the world. With computers now infiltrating every aspect of human life it places a high burden of responsibility upon our education system to improve the development of computer literacy. Technology is not separated from the human’s life. It is usual in everywhere like in offices, hospitals, government, company, and of course at school. Technology can make us be easier than now because the time is faster than we do not using manually. Technology is very useful to help human being want to going to do. Many moderns technologies at the 21st century such as computer, calculator, laptop, I-pad, cell-phone, and many more. For example at school, the component on the school (most of them) use technology for help their work (for the teacher and the student). Technologies are very important in many aspects, especially in education and have many reasons for this. And I want to explain one by one the importance technology at now.
The first reason is the teacher use technology to support their teaching. In 21st century, teacher must know the technology because the school has many the tools can support of their activity in class like projector, computer, LCD screen, internet, and etc. If teacher teach the students use technology tools like presentation in Ms. Power Point, GeoGebra(in Mathematics), Window Live Movie Maker (ICT), Corel Draw (design graphic), and many more, they do not find the difficulties of teach the students. Impossible the teacher draw for the students if the design graphic class be held. The teacher do not waste many time for do this work like as write the material of lessons. The teacher only creates and makes a presentation in Ms. Power Point and Ms. Word. And the students only copy the materials from their teacher to USB flashdisk and the students can study independent and try this or do the homework in their house. And the teacher can do or calculate the score examination of their students, use the Ms. Excel in the computer without calculate with calculator and one by one search the average of each student. Well, the technology make the teacher can be easy than they use manual.
Not the other for the teacher, technology is using for students. Most of the students use technology for support their education. They can use computer, internet, LCD and projector, wi-fi, and digital camera or video (for their activity or studying). Most of their task is related with technology. For example of learning, teacher asks to the students
to independent study and always ask the students to search and find out their problem in their subject of lessons. They can use internet and connect to wi-fi, and show in the front of class about their invented about the lesson and share to another friends. At the class, the students do not do many activity for hear the subject of the lessons, only copy the material from the teacher. And study at home. Many effects of studying with use technology. Studying with technology can make an advantages and disadvantages. For the advantages, students know a new method of studying and find new lessons that we do not know before. They can make creativity in their studies and innovative method of learning. For the disadvantages, the students can be lazy because they only keep in on the technology and they never read the book or their student handbook. And this condition loses interest for reading. The students can improve their skill of technology. So, now, many schools provide a lot of media to improve the capability of all things.
The third reasons is at school, the school administration use technology for a lot activities like as registration of new students, submit the attendance of the students, give information to many students and teacher about school, and inform about school. The school administration feel enjoy to do their work because there are technology to help their work. For payment of the contribution students to school, the administration can not make difficulty to student’s parents because the contribution can pay on counter fee. Others, the administration can arrange study plan card and all of about academic schedule use email and website at yahoo, google, and hotmail. And then, the administration of college informs all students through email, facebook, and etc…
Technology has development of each year. Every year the technology improves their capability like as software, hardware, utilities, and etc.
