Answers & Comments
Answer:
Technology has fundamentally changed the way we learn. ... In many ways, learning today barely resembles learning 50 years ago. Far from just changing the learning environment and the learning tools that we rely upon, technology has also changed how we process information on a neurological level.
Technology can help students by making learning more engaging and collaborative. Rather than memorizing facts, students learn by doing and through critical thinking. This could be as simple as taking an interactive quiz in class or participating in tech-enabled group discussions.One study by PBS LearningMedia research found that 74 percent of teachers found that classroom technology helped them to motivate their students to learn and reinforce the learning materials. About 73 percent also said that it helped them better engage students with different learning styles.
