Technology's impact on education

Student guide

Although it sounds cliché, we can acknowledge that technology has become an essential part of our lives, without which we could not live, and it has influenced almost all aspects of society, including communication, health, entertainment, and education. Speaking of education, we can say that our generation has been the most privileged when it comes to access to information. Although technology has brought both good and bad effects, when it comes to education we can say that we have only benefited, especially among students.

From middle school or high school, each of us discovered various platforms that make our lives easier, a good example being Brainly, a platform where you could ask questions and find answers related to school. Years have passed, a pandemic that digitized education appeared, technology continued to innovate, and we find ourselves in our college years surrounded by various platforms and accessible learning methods.

The best and most popular example is ChatGPT, used by the majority of students. However, this platform can have negative effects if not used in moderation, as students may end up not retaining information. In addition to the online libraries of colleges and courses that are easily accessible with a click, various new pieces of information have appeared to help launch your career. Here are some of them:

1. Online Courses and MOOCs: Platforms like Coursera, edX, and Khan Academy offer free or low-cost online courses, making high-quality education accessible on a global scale.

2. Simulations and Virtual Reality (VR): These technologies allow students to explore complex concepts through interactive experiences, such as virtual labs or virtual tours of historical sites.

3. Online Collaboration Tools: Platforms like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and Discord facilitate collaboration and communication between students and teachers, allowing teamwork and information exchange in real-time.

4. Social Networks and Forums: These create learning communities where students can discuss ideas, ask questions, and receive support from both peers and experts.

5. Webinars and Online Courses: Depending on your interests, look for freelancers or speakers who can shape your career or skills.

That being said, technology has a good impact on your life, as long as you know where to get your information from and how to use it.
