  In the recent years, there has been a significant growth in the education and learning market. Education institutions have become more receptive towards the implementation of hi-tech learning components. The advent of technology into the learning space and classroom has enabled multi-modal training, varying curriculum,. Hardware again made it easy to impart education.

Students study from laptop and make report or assignments using their laptops/tabs/computers. Students download and store the information in computers and laptops. Printers are very useful nowadays to take the print out of the information collected through portal websites or through mobile apps. Scanner and Photocopy machine  is also used for the same purpose. Both save the physical work of writing and time. It makes collection of information easy and the collection is on paper which is still the most effective way of learning.

Hardware’s are helpful for teachers too. The work load of writing of notes or question papers is saved by the printers or photocopy machines. Making use of projectors in lectures is an easy way of teaching. Nowadays, almost all the institutions are provided wide PC’s in every departments and offices and it is efficient and it reduces labor work and saves lots of time. Digital cameras can enhance the teaching and learning process.

It’s actually a good way to help us in all aspects and I would rate it 3 out of 5. There is no disadvantage prevailing rather than the fact that students have to spend more time in front of PC .

.which may affect their eyesight. But in a controlled way, these are the best.

Break Down

The good: there are not many disadvantage of this technology.

The bad: Not all students can afford it.

The bottom line: the main reason technological hardware is to make the overall study process easy. Almost all the students have access to computer and other computer hardware. Hence making it an essential tool in implementing technology in education.

Rating : 3/5 (Good)
