The Role of Technology in Education Today and in the Future

  Eventhough the idea of integrating technology into education was inevnted before the pandemic around the world, the arrival of the coronavirus has forced us, as a society, to a total reinvention in all areas. And education has not been excluded from this new paradigm. If education was already evolving at a dizzying pace, COVID has accelerated that change and although the situation continues to be very changeable, the reality is that digitalization in the classroom is a necessity of the present and the future.

I integrate technology into teaching because it is a tool that facilitates teaching and learning by students. It allows me to communicate in a better way with the new generations, it also facilitates many of my activities as a teacher and allows me to focus on what is really important in teaching, which is to establish a true learning relationship, adapting learning didactics to a global context since it allows making use of current information found on the internet.It also allows students to be immersed at their own pace in the digital world.

Technology by itself does not produce knowledge, but through its correct use interactive environments for learning can be created, it allows students to go at their own pace, manage their own time and the teacher can interact more " personalized ”with the students.
