nation with the poor technology can never grow in today’s world. This is mainly
because of the reason that technology has made our work much easier and less

possible field, one such field is Education. As we have considered technology
in education, we must consider the impact of that technology on the students,
especially students in higher education. What role does technology have for different
students of higher education? This research article will show a correlation
between the positive effects of technology in education on students related to
greater academic level of performances and also critical learnings.
Furthermore, we would also show the positive effects, through the use of
technologies in the classroom. The Combination of education and technology is
likely to create a more stimulating learning environment. In order to
accomplish a higher order thinking skills such as, critical, creative and
independent thinking, the applications of technology and improved motivation
and attitudes, there must be effective usage of technology in day to day
activities. This research paper clearly describes some of the major impacts of
technology on education through the experiences of students.
The
impact
Technology is one of the most
important tool in the field of education. Technology helps the students to understand
the concepts easier and also have a clear idea about the subject matter. In the
present scenario, technology is not only beneficiary to the student, but it is
also helpful to the teachers. Use of technological advancements, tools, modern
gadgets have made classes more interesting, and also helped the teachers to grab
the attention of the students. In simple it has made the life of both the parties
easier. Today many types of technology serve in the field of education. Some of
the shapes of technology are simple to understand, where as other forms are so

students in class is more active. Today, Students are more active in their
learning and also more participative in their nature. There have been many
technological advances in education over the past few years. As we look at our
past, a few years ago, computers were used only in offices and rarely in
classrooms. But in the present context there has been a tremendous development
in the field of technology which has enhanced the learning and also education.
Students as well as children of present world are considered “digital natives”.
In the words of Wikipedia, The digital natives are described as, having been grown

digital camera and MP3 players. By making use of computers in every household
as well as every school has extensively increased student’s awareness of
technology and also broadened their level of thinking about the global economy
and also technology. In this modern era, students make use of their smart phones
so that can do many amazing things, creative learnings such as getting the
exact updates of their savings bank account information’s, for making e
payments, download of information off the internet, watch TV, shopping or even
to create a movie. At present scenario we cannot imagine going through our
everyday life without the help of a computer or mobile or latest gadgets. It
could be a very tough job to imagine. With the help of internet connection students
and teachers have built a excellent connection in terms of academics and also
are linked with outside world. The computers can help us in efficient learning
and also help in improvement of skills and also develop our thinking skills,
when there is usage of technology in a meaningful and in a right manner. Technological
developments have helps in improvising the communication skills and also improvements

possible with the emerging technologies in the present generation.
Conclusion
Finally,
to conclude, technology has both positive as well as negative impact on
education. This argument was also agreed by our respondents of study. Young
generation must make use the benefits, i.e. from positive aspects of
technology. Though technology has some of the drawbacks one must try to ignore
such negative impacts which would lead to decrease in productivity. If the
technology is used in a right manner one can excel in every field that he
wishes to. Especially he use of technology in academics is very essential,which
would definitely help to yield better results. Today technology plays a major
role in educational sector. If the young people are educated by well equipped
technological developments a nation could be largely benefitted by such improvements
and nation could be developed nation.
