Gone are the days when people had the time and patience to sit around big fat books to get the some
information that they were looking for. But in today’s world we as students need quick access to a
variety of information and this is only possible because of the contribution of information technology in
education.
Use of internet has totally changed the world of education. If we need some answers, we simply Google
our doubts. It gives us a variety of learning resources and also facilitates a multimedia approach
towards learning. I think that there’s no student who doesn’t seek information over the internet. I mean
who wouldn’t? It makes our lives so easy and comfortable. We get so many projects to do, so many
assignments and we barely have time to search for books at the library. With internet we have access to
knowledge from anywhere and everywhere and at any time. And it is the only thing that has given way
to the brilliant l idea of distance education. Also the children who are disabled have been benefited in a
huge way, the availability of various gadgets has helped them a lot. We have online lectures, e books
and what not! Many of us do not get the complex scientific processes and things by just reading in
books. For students like me, YouTube is a blessing. But my personal all-time favourite is
meritnation.com; It’s a portal where a large number of teachers and students can interact with each
other. It’s almost like an online coaching center, you can get answers to any sorts of questions be it
related to science or even commerce. cbseguess.com is yet another amazing site that give you access to
various practice questions papers and study materials. Also mycbseguide.com was really very helpful in
my preparations for board exams. It saved me from the trouble of going around looking for previous
year’s question papers and sample test booklets.
Moreover, it has not only changed the lives of the students but also has ushered a new era in teaching.
The teachers can now communicate with other teachers around the globe. it has helped the teachers in
teaching as well, the use of visual teaching aid in classrooms have made their lives really easier as
children now learn faster and with great interest.
Many of us seem to have an argument that IT has somewhat spoiled the students’ lives, but even the
moon has a darker side. IT has contributed so much that it has become a part of the learning process. It
is impossible to exclude it now. Had there been no advancement in the information technology, there
would have been no advancement in the world of education.
