Technology is the use of scientific knowledge and skills in producing goods or services and accomplishing objectives. It is a broad concept that includes both hardware and software systems.
Technology & Society
The relationship between technology and society is synergistic, symbiotic, co-dependent, co-influential, and co-producing. It is generally believed that this relationship occurred at the dawn of human civilization with the invention of simple tools, and it continues today and throughout history.
Businesstechnology
Businesses often use technology to enhance their operations and grow their business. This involves developing a combination of software and hardware that can help the company scale its growth.
Superintelligence
The use of technology is not limited to business; it can also be used in our personal lives. It can include chatbots, virtual agents, and self-driving cars that can replace many of the manual tasks that we normally do manually.
Educating Students with Technology
The use of computers and the Internet can be very useful in students’ future professional and personal lives. Teachers can use these tools to explain curriculum material in a way that is easy for students to understand.
Student Engagement
When a student has access to technology during class, they are more likely to engage in learning activities. Educational apps such as Kahoot allow teachers to create and share games with their class, making them available on phones or computers and allowing students to participate on their own or with groups.
Teaching with technology can also offer an opportunity for quick feedback. For example, a short quiz or open-ended response question using technology like Poll Everywhere, Socrative, or Mentimeter can help you get a quick snapshot of your students’ understanding.
