Most parents think that technology is going to hurt their kids learning, other think it will improve it. That’s why it’s such a touchy subject when you talk about educational technology. I think parents need to be open minded about the subject before they make any decision on the matter.

The constructive role of technology in education Revision 1 Iraq, my country, is the first Arab country in the Middle East who brought computers, but unfortunately engaging in wars prevented the wide expansion of this technology. Before 2003 it was used in the governmental offices with a restriction, but since 2003 computers began to visit Iraqi families. So, as a student, I have quite a poor experience in the matter of using the technology in teaching. When my family moved to Egypt in 2006, I noticed

whole width of the cave…” (Plato). In today’s society, people are blind to everything except what is shown to them. This cave is the current world and technology is blinding everyone, keeping them narrow-minded. Students use technology almost daily in school and it is hurting their education experience. Technology is mainly hurting students in education because it contains a lot of false information that can be difficult to check for accuracy, it makes plagiarism a large concern while hindering the
advanced devices. Largely, the field of technology continues reaching impressive milestones of convenience. As a consequence, educators and their institutions have their interests piqued by this wealth of technological potential. To be fair, this makes sense because today 's technology has a lot of qualities to aid classroom efficiency. However, these same devices and programs are also capable of harming the learning process. To be clear, many technologies and their digital resources have the opportunity
The world has transformed and evolved vastly. New innovations have been introduced.
