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
Technology being used in higher up education has many arguments that support personal technology being an advantage or a disadvantage for students.

Impact of Technology on Higher Education What would happen to the human species today if we suddenly decided to stop drinking water, eating meat, or cutting firewood? Eventually the population would decrease to the point of extinction. Resources like water, food, and trees were given to us and should be used properly so life can thrive on this earth. So why not embrace other resources that have become available to us? Why waste the tools that could so easily help make this world a better, more efficient

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.

All children learn differently, and technology is to help you when you have no other place to go. Some
