Technology education is the study of technology, in which
our students "learn about the processes and knowledge related to technology”. As a field of study, it covers one’s ability to meet all the needs, by manipulating materials and tools with techniques. It shows the disconnected relation between wide usage and the lack of knowledge about the technical components of technologies used and how to fix them.
Technology can deliver new educational opportunities for
everyone. It offers great opportunities to transform global education at any
age level. Technology is continuously developing at a rapid pace and access to
technologies such as mobile phones and the internet is increased.
In schools around the world, computers, tablets, smart
whiteboards, and other technological devices are being used as part of the
learning process. Technology provides a window to the world and access to
thousands of learning resources. Learning to stay connected with technologies
and using computer coding gives children the skills and confidence to help them
get good jobs when they leave school - and in turn, come up with more new
technologies.
The number of children around the world using handheld
devices, like mobile phones and mini-tablets, is growing. Agencies and
organizations are taking advantage of the technology to deliver education where
it is most needed.
Technology can be used as a tool for delivering education
where it is most needed, especial in humanitarian emergencies such as war or
natural disasters.
Students need to be learning the skills necessary for the
jobs that have yet to be created Technology can deliver education in places other than a
traditional classroom - particularly during humanitarian emergencies such as conflict,
natural disasters or epidemics like COVID19.
