How important is technology in education?
Teaching is a challenging profession and even when teachers go home at the end of the day, their work often isn’t done. You get me, right?
From grading assignments and planning lessons to communicating with parents about their child’s progress or misbehaves, teachers have busy schedules and long to-do lists.
So, what could help? What could be a good solution?
Well of course, TECHNOLOGY.
Teachers who learn to embrace technology can improve their efficiency, streamline their work, and even lighten their workload by letting technology take care of some of their administrative tasks.
In addition, as advances in technology drive globalization and digital transformation, teachers can help students acquire the necessary skills to succeed in the careers of the future.
