Technology and Education in the 21st Century
June 24, 2019
"Technology has become an almost integral part of our daily lives, and when talking about our daily lives, we see that education occupies the most important part. Undoubtedly, technology is now present in this part as well; as education is now a pressing demand and need for everyone, technology has taken its course in facilitating and easing this in general, and specifically in the field of educating individuals with disabilities."
"It has come to serve practitioners in this field—including special education specialists, psychologists, speech and language pathologists, and behavior analysts—where technology has contributed to saving them time, effort, and money, and equipped them with high-value advantages to build a fruitful educational session with the child."
"One of the advantages technology offers the practitioner is: designing treatment plans according to high-quality standards, thereby aiming to chart the course of the educational process with high precision and clarity.."
"It also provides the collection of baseline and daily data about the child, thereby measuring different behaviors using various measurement methods such as (Duration - Rate - Frequency) on a daily basis with high accuracy and complete credibility! This is to build sound decisions about the child."
"Writing periodic reports is one of the features technology seeks to provide in a more advanced and sophisticated manner. With technology, we can generate instant periodic reports based on that data collected daily about the child, placing in our hands a high-precision and quick-to-use report."
"And we must not forget to mention the most important feature of technology in our education today! That is archiving all of the above and retaining it for as long as possible.."
"Technology defines new ways of thinking in the twenty-first century and helps us achieve continuous improvement in the education process.."
"Developing technology to serve individuals with disabilities creates more opportunities for the success of the educational process and for obtaining high-quality outcomes!"
