We use technology in everywhere for our life. We use it in our living rooms, kitchens, even in our bath rooms. We use technology in education as everywhere. In this article we will examine the place of technology in education. But first we need know about education.
What is education? Where to start and end ?
Education is human behavior which changes one to act positively or negatively. Of course almost all humans want to educate to change positively.
Education starts at home and it continues until death. It has no ending.
Technology is accompanying to us throughout our life such as education.
Technology at school;
Smart boards, tablets, projections, computers is the tool we use in school. These tools have a direct impact on education. Some tools, like a light bulb, have a indirect impact on education. No invention has been found for direct education, often invented for military purposes. In this age, teachers give education interactively in technological environments.
Teachers use some apps like Kahoot, Pawtoon to make lessons more remarkable for students. Students learn to code. This education prepares children for programming, the profession of the future. Because of that the kids can be more confident about future.
History of the technology of education:
Verbal communication is basis of formal education such as communication. Information was transmitted verbally in the early stages of history and this unfortunately causes some information to be forgotten.
Therefore technology started to be used and writing was invented. But there were people against this invention. Those people said using the writing will cause laziness.
But writing came with ease.
Forgetting of information disappeared with the writing. Information became more accessible and indestructible thanks to writing.
The first uses of the writing:
I. Writing was first seen in Sumerian, Assyrian and Babylonian tablets.
II. It was seen in papuruses and textbooks of Ancient Rome - Greek empires.
After Textbooks of Rome and Scriptures, printing press invented, bam just like that! And some people was against it. Information became easily accessible because of printing press. After that the number of written documents increased.
However, the need to be literate has emerged. Textbook usage increased in education. In the result formal education has become widespread especially in Europe.
In 19th century transportation developed and postal systems were formed. The foundations of international education were laid. An external graduation program which you learned by letter began at the University of London in (1858).
With the presence of electricity:
Electric lamp, telephone,television entered our lives and we tried to use them in education. Inventions co-written resources have less dominance in education. Invention of radio had an effect on education.
In 1920 BBC started to produce educational programs for school at first time. Radio programs used verbal communication. And they did programs like documentaries. Teachers use computers in many ways for education. They use it to prepare a presentation, to play educational games.

In the present day we have laptops, tablets, smart phones with internet. We have many apps which is I said at the beginning of the article. Technology is changes fast. We can’t know what will we see in the future. In my opinion we can wear the technology. So maybe it will be chips for education. Teachers can transfer the information to us along with a flash memory. Google has glasses that we can access the internet. Maybe we can use it in education.
Result:
Technology creates the future. But there are always people who are against it. Well, people are afraid of what they don't know. It should be known that technology is useful as one gets to know how to use it. And we use technology very well in education.
We use technology to make lessons more interesting in education and to increase participation in my own education.
Thank you for reading!
