Introduction

It is a factual notion that the world has experienced different technological advancements

that have altered the educational process. Different technological systems such as the internet,

are commonly used in unique areas of learning to facilitate the development of quality teaching

as well as learning processes. Subsequently, if applied strategically within the educational

process, technology can facilitate the provision of transforming learning therefore resulting in

different benefits. Therefore, the paper aims to illustrate some major benefits of technology in

the educational process.

The utilization of modern technological infrastructure in the educational process has led

to the development of significantly engaging learning settings. Educators can introduce online

learning activities in learning sessions and therefore allow for the full participation of every

student (Hawkridge, 2022). Besides, technology can allow students to have better access to any

required educational material at any time of their convenience. On these accounts, the

educational process becomes much more engaging or personalized as the specific needs of a

student are promoted via the use of technology. Different formats of technology can hence allow

educators to design flexible teaching activities to promote interactive learning processes.

In addition, technology can allow educators to break down potential barriers to effective

educational processes. One of the major limiting factors in the provision of premium learning

experiences is poor communication among students and teachers (Hawkridge, 2022). However,

during this modern age, students and teachers can interact and communicate with the aid of

advanced information and communication technologies. Furthermore, the use of technology

within the learning space can promote the accessibility of updated educational materials.

Teachers can use the internet to find and collect modern teaching materials across various global
 3

places. Learners who benefit from these materials can attain better performance results in

contrast to those who don’t.

Equally important, the use of technology can allow educators to have better and quick

access to useful informative, and relevant information. The emergence of free and accessible

educational content across digital spaces has allowed teachers to have opportunities to gain

information within both less time and economically costly means (Haleem et al., 2022).

Furthermore, learning institutions across the world can easily connect and share important

ideologies of how to enhance learning processes through the application of digital technological

products. On this account, both teachers together with learners are capable of enjoying equal

learning opportunities. Therefore, technology is a useful tool that if applied correctly can allow

educators and students from diverse backgrounds to share fundamental learning ideologies.

In addition, the use of technology in any learning activity can help learners to have better

chances of expanding or developing their competencies. The use of digital instruments in

teaching processes allows learners to become much more invested in a learning activity (Haleem

et al., 2022). The resulting active learning process is ideal for capturing the curiosity or interests

of learners as they find it much more interesting. Besides, teachers can introduce innovative

learning activities such as gamification, concept mapping, and problem-solving easily when

using digital tools. Therefore, learners can quickly gain new learning concepts as they are very

much attracted to the learning process in comparison to the traditional learning process.

Likewise, learners can identify and apply key self-learning concepts within their

educational journey with the assistance of technology. Students can use computers to conduct

academic research. Thereafter, they can know how to identify, evaluate, and apply researched

solutions to any academic challenge they come across. Consequently, technology can boost their
 4

skills in problem-solving parameters therefore making them much more self-efficient (Haleem et

al., 2022). In addition, their capabilities to demonstrate critical-thinking skills will become much

superior. Indeed, learners can become much more confident and motivated in pursuing technical

academic disciplines as they are self-efficient as well as equipped with robust critical-thinking

skills.

Technology can further help with the promotion of inclusive learning contexts in

educational processes. All students should enjoy fair and equal learning activities within any

standard educational process (Hawkridge, 2022). Therefore, assistive technology can help

educators create learning environments that meet the needs of every student. As a result, students

whose learning capabilities are restricted by certain disabling conditions can have fair chances to

participate in a learning activity. For instance, the use of speech recognition technologies can

allow visually impaired learners to also make their contributions during classroom discussions.

Technology is therefore a greatly revolutionizing educational tool in the provision of special

education.

Certainly, there are various technological elements that can contribute positively to the

provision of quality learning experiences. Therefore, technology is a sure beneficial resource to

students as well as teachers. Teachers can apply technology to develop highly engaging learning

processes for students. As a result, potential barriers to effective learning such as poor

communication are undermined as students find it easier to participate via digital technological

systems. In addition, educators and learners across various global areas can share innovative

ideas through the use of interactive technological items such as the Internet. The need for

purchasing expensive educational materials is also severed. In addition, the incorporation of

modern technologies within learning settings can help with the promotion of a totally inclusive

culture.
