Use of Technology in Education


- Ram/Rama


Technology has become an everyday need in the twenty-first century. With the increasing spread of digitalization around the world technology is now not only a way towards advanced scientific developments, it is also a mandatory need when it comes to sustainable development. The use of technology in education is a major call of the hour. By using several technological supporting systems like e-notebooks, e-books etc a world full of information can be compressed into a single platform.


The use of interactive classroom boards, the use of chalk and duster are also decreasing. Also, the teachers can access the internet anytime between the lectures for reference and better understanding of the students. There are a huge number of ways in which study related games and power point presentations help the teachers build student involvement through several technological means.


Technology also helps students to remain inter connected all the time. In this way they can solve and discuss their problems whenever they wish to. The teachers too can help them out always.


The use of technology also helps in the decreased use of paper. By doing so not only are trees saved but we walk towards a greener environment altogether. It is important to spread information about saving nature to all parts of the world and technology is the best way to do it.

Read the following passage carefully :

Gandhiji As a Fund Raiser


Gandhiji was an incurable and irrestible fund raiser. He found special relish in getting jewellery from women. Ranibala of Burdwan was ten years old. One day she was playing with Gandhiji. He explained to her that her bangles were too heavy for her delicate little wrists. She removed the bangles and gave them away to Gandhiji.


He used to talk jokingly to small girls and created distaste for ornaments and created a desire in them to part with the jewellery for the sake of the poor. He motivated them to donate their jewellery for social usage.


Kasturbai didn’t appreciate this habit of Gandhiji. Once she stated calmly, ‘You don’t wear jewels, it is easy for you to get around the boys. But what about our daughters-in-law ? They would surely want them.


“Well!” Gandhiji put in mildly, “our children are young and when they grow up they will not surely choose wives who are fond of wearing jewellery.” Kasturbai was very upset with the answer.


Gandhiji was determined to keep the jewels to raise community fund. He was of the opinion that a public worker should accept no costly gifts. He believed that he should not own anything costly, whether given or earned. Kasturbai was a female with a desire to adorn. But Gandhiji moved towards renunciation and donated every penny earned in South Africa to the trustees for the service of South African Indians.
