Life in the Information Age, blog Applied Technology










 The information age also have an impact on teaching and learning. With the advancement of technology and computer software, most forms of education involving computer and information technology and communications, are taught information technology and computing topics in schools. However, there are flaws in computer technology in schools and increasing popular cause problems for teachers and examiners.
An example of the technology used in education to be a program (virtual learning environment) VLE. VLE-based programs on the Internet that provide resources for teachers and schools to use the software. The program includes all aspects of the school VLE, ​​including testing, evaluation and performed in a chapter / homework. VLE system used by the school is easily accessible from other computers that allow students to determine any necessary educational materials. There are many different systems VLE VLE Although the frog is an example of the high school-based VLE.

interactive whiteboard is another example of how the information age has affected education today. The Council is composed of the Board and a display device connected to your computer in the master. This allows the teacher to teach as it appears on a computer screen through a projector on the plate. The Council is also interactive with a stylus or finger, allowing students to interact with lesson activity. The statistics also show the success of the slate in the classroom, which contain a high percentage of schools with interactive whiteboards.Another way to be a record of e-learning. This record was previously in paper records of the audience of students in the class. Now, programs like The Sims allows teachers to use the registry database to record the students present. When you are taken Date Sims and teachers pressing certain keys to mark the status of student attendance. Sims also operates a database for student information, especially for the public.

As being the use of other forms of electronic record in schools. Barcode and magnetic cards also record student attendance. Scanners to identify a unique code for each attendance records of students in general.
Schools are also trying to maintain "daily" with the current technology available in the world. An example of this is that Apple's iPad will be for students. Although the new idea a bit, it seems that success in areas such as Europe and America. This is due to the ease of use and accessibility that the iPad can do this. However, some argue that desktop PCs are better for tasks such as writing documents and programs such as JavaScript and Flash can not be used on the iPad. Some people also prefer to maintain the traditional methods of teaching students in the classroom.
In general, the possibility of splitting protector discs in schools of opinion. While some schools have the opportunity to continue with the modern era, will not other schools student iPads as successful and to continue to continue as usual in terms of teaching.
In some cases, the development of information technology so popular is taught topics centered on information and communication technology even in primary schools. Teach students the basics of the lessons of programs such as Word and editor. Students are also taught to use the Internet and search online.

After primary education, ICT and other forms of the subject become even more important as in many schools, as IT is sometimes a compulsory subject at GCSE level. Other types of IT such as Applied ICT are also available at secondary schools for students. The availability of the IT subjects is due to many jobs requiring IT skills from their employees.

Some of these jobs are also looking for computing skills instead. This causes a problem for some schools as students are only taught the basics of computing. This is because ICT, IT and Applied ICT all focus on other aspects of computers and IT. To solve this problem, some schools have bought back the computing subject as part of the school curriculum.

However, the increasing use of computer technology has caused some problems for schools and education. One example of these disadvantages would be the increase of plagiarism used in some students work. When asked to complete a classwork/homework task, some students used ‘copy and paste’ to move sections of information from websites to a document. However, the accessibility of the internet today allows student to copy information without permission.

Another problem with computer technology would be handwriting. Some people say that the use of computers in schools has decreased the quality in student handwriting. Because of this, some examiners are looking towards an increase in online exams in which handwriting would not be an issue. This would also benefit the students as some might prefer to type instead of write in their exams.
