5. Assessment of Technology as instruction Technology is an amazing tool in the arsenal of teaching methods. It allows students and teachers to be creative. Teaching students how to use technology in today’s world is as important as teaching them how to read. You are limited in your abilities if you don’t know how to use a basic computer. Enables the user to view other people’s work or views on a particular item. Greatly enhances the learning environment by allowing students to express their ideas and opinions without running the risk of being made fun of by their peers. Technology is here to stay, so we as teachers need to do everything possible to include it in our instruction, whether it’s the main method or used as an accessory. We can share ideas and information quickly without being face to face.
