Growing up, most of us had a teacher who refused to implement technology in the lessons. They had their trusty old textbook and thought that everything that’s written there would remain true through the ages.

However, that’s not how education works. It evolves rapidly, thanks to technology for the most part. According to Promethean, the focus on boosting student engagement with tech has increased by 29%. And yet, the implementation of EdTech is the priority for only 39% of U.S. schools.

Today, we’re going to take a look at the role technology plays in today’s education and why more schools should give it a priority.

The digital transformation of the economy has impacted every industry. Some of the most significant changes from that transformation have been in education.

How to Use Robots to Assist Teachers and Improve Student Learning?

By Tiffany Harper

Technology has evolved tremendously during the last few years. Even though this progress might have been slowed down by the global pandemic that started last year, developers do not miss the opportunity to do this now. As the coronavirus pandemic made many people more aware of the impact of their behavior and habits on the world, environment, and people, the field of technology is developing even more nowadays. Technology is a general term used for naming the things that are related to computers, robots, artificial intelligence, machine learning, networking, servers, and many more. Technology is not represented only by your smartphone or laptop. Technology is present in our everyday lives more than we are even aware of.

Becoming aware of the impact of technology is step humanity has to make. But becoming aware of the impact technological advancements could have on our lives is something we still have to work on. Technology has been very important for the field of education, especially during the last year. As people had to spend more time inside, colleges and universities have shifted to online learning. Which was a challenge itself, both for students and teachers. However, the future is bright and robots might begin to be used by teachers in classrooms. Why?

Because robots could assist teachers and improve student learning in classrooms, making the job of teachers even easier. Using a robot in the classroom is a nice thing to do, especially at the beginning when many would be reluctant to do this. But as essay writers on technology topics say, robots could indeed make teaching and learning more efficient and successful. How? Find out below.
