Technology has really metamorphosed the teaching, learning and assessing experience. During the last few decades technology has changed from the simple teaching students how to use the computer to using the computer to teach and assess learning activities.Kessler (2010) has further outlined the uses of technology in the classroom in her article "8 Ways Technology is Improving Education". These ways include epistemic games where students are placed in roles such as mayor, engineer, journalist, etc.and asked to solve real life problems. Students now have a wide range of visually pleasing entertainment with access to multimedia, storytelling and eBooks. However, with this new phenomenon comes a new set of problems. They vary from lack of funds to lack of infrastructure needed to facilitate technological devices. But, as a third world country we are striving towards catering to the needs of our students as members of the computer age.
Do you think we as a country will ever reach that summit?
