The literature emphasize that often the "appearance of new technologies and innovations reactivates the belief that technology per se enhances education, which repeatedly has shown to be wrong in the history of educational technology” Dillenbourg and Schneider (1995).
New technologies can contribute to learning. However, upbringing, as a necessary element of education, depends on society. Therefore, raising the level of education depends, first of all, on the level of development of society and its readiness for development.
Dear Adebayo Adebiyi ,
First, I would like to recognize the highest potentiality of the interest level and usefulness of such a multifaceted question and, consequently, matter.
Secondly, thanks for sharing such an interesting topic.
As far as my modest position about that, I always thought that technology - in this case, new technologies - can improve the performances, but the Roots of Education belong to another dimension, such as the human one.
Artificial Intelligence, New Techonologies, Digital Innovations and all the rest can be defined as a wonderful mixture and combination of means and/or tools able to reach great results and targets in terms of a kind of "mere mechanical performance" - to be intended in terms of aseptical performance without awareness.
On the contrary, Education could be considered as the bottom of each background, the Real Engine, the Heart, the Fulcrum of such a great and very delicate process called "Growth", better defined as "Human Growth".
Thus, I totally agree with Dillenbourg and Schneider (1995).
Therefore, it would be necessary to address the resulting or potential controversy by mentioning a simple and direct reasoning based on a kind of "SWOT analysis" - focused on strengths and weaknesses - of the strict usage of new technologies. At this point, it will be easy to focus on the Awareness' Mother - which is Education -by highlighting the fundamental relevance of its Engine of Knowledge able to develop Critical Ability.
Best regards,
Antonella

Technology can be utilized to improve teaching and learning and help our students be successful. Through the use of learning management systems (LMS) students can access online resources to get assistance on demand beyond the physical reach of their teacher. Nevertheless, as with any new tool, it requires monitoring and supervision in its use.
Modern technology promotes learning provided it is used properly
Greetings
One doesn't need to address an issue that doesn't exist. Advanced technology penetrate all society layers sooner or later. The more smarter, flexible, and motivated the ones, the sooner it's happening.
Andrey Skorobogatov your contribution here is very direct and thoughtful. If I get it clear, you seem to opine that society or level of exposure of society will determine the extent of impact new technologies can have on educational development.
But how can you relate this to Instructional Theory (Behaviorism and Cognitivism) in support of the belief that "Learning is a Social Activity"
Kindly consider citations.
I think all the technology like deep learning , CBIR all are invented .Yes widely spreading through out the world is required .
Can technology replace a teacher?
Question
Asked March 28, 2018
Not to replicate.. check this question thread which has hundreds of answers on this question. People do not appreciate how vast technology changes will entirely change roles of educatirs
I don't thing so.A human being needs human touch in teaching and learning that is absent in technology.Technology is a machine and machine can help human but cannot replace.
In my opinion teacher has edge over technology in two places:one in creating vision and second in developing creativity.And any teaching without these two is not a teaching but programming a machine in controlled condition,means making another machine.And a machine cannot be true representative of human.
The most promising in the context of the behavioral aspects of education is behaviorism.
إذا كانت بعض التكنلوجيا الحديثة تقدم فائدة للمجتمع وتطويره فهي تلقى الاهتمام.
Technology is just a tool, a means to an end than the end itself. Thus if used wisely it can lead to dissemination of information and spread of knowledge.
There is a great deal of literature that addresses this in education journal field and the discussion here has not linked to these debates, and so appears very generalistic and not informed, on vital subject
