Technology is an opportunity for teachers to differentiate instruction to modify information for the appropriate learning capabilities of their students.
Use of Technology at primary level in education sector, can be more effective for students instead of traditional learning systems?
Share your valuable suggestions and recommendations.
In our crazy quickly changing world, the use of technology and AI models to transform education is obviously unavoidable, and who tries to hide behind traditionalism is like who attempts to hide his nose! However, using those models in teaching might be quite challenging due to the lack of management skills and the lack of providing supplies, especially in undeveloped countries.
My actual concerns are to overcome AI addiction, as I have noticed like every teacher that students are becoming addicted to ready-made-given answers which can influence a teacher's education commitment and have an impact on his/her teaching willingness, and this is the creepy synopsis of the entire story.

Yes, in addition to the previous interesting answers, the use of technology at the most basic levels in the education sector, can be very effective for students, if they are applied according to their teaching philosophies and recommending learning techniques.
Kind Regards.
Definitely, technologies bring many new opportunities and new capabilities to teach and create learn experiences in new levels.
But, only if it's intentionally planned in a learn program. It can jeopardy learning if tech is only pushed because it's a trend. The teacher must select and plan the tech use according to one's teaching goals.
But it must be used, just because tech is kids' language. If classroom don't incorporate tech, students will fell it artificial and old, losing interesting. Teaching w/o tech is like teaching in a language students doesn't know.
It is a big Yes! technology is a part of my daily activities in teaching delivery. Learners are more excited to learn something new during class discussion It makes them think beyond the lessons of the day. When teachers use technology in teaching, learners are learning also to use technology during their presentation of outputs.
Yes, technology will enhance the presentation, but it must be blended appropriately with human expertise and experiences.
Several factors contribute to the sad state of education and research destruction in the developing world:
Due to some of the above reasons, more & more parents decided to send their children to overseas / developedcountries for better education - indirectly this will also destroy the education in home country.
Furthermore, hijacking" of Local Country's Talents by Oversea Countries / Universities - oversea countries / universities that offer scholarship, guaranteed job upon graduation, citizenship etc to talented local students will cause "brain drain" in which lack of talented students might pull down the overall students' study performance or educational system within the local country.
اختطاف "مواهب البلد المحلي من قبل دول / جامعات خارجية - دول / جامعات خارجية تقدم منحًا دراسية ووظيفة مضمونة بعد التخرج والمواطنة وما إلى ذلك للطلاب المحليين الموهوبين سوف يتسبب في" هجرة الأدمغة "حيث قد يؤدي نقص الطلاب الموهوبين إلى هزيمة الطلاب بشكل عام أداء الدراسة أو النظام التعليمي داخل البلد المحلي.
On the other hand “My conclusion: technology is not always our friend,” she wrote. “The newly arrived laptops in our schools were as much a distraction from learning as a tool for learning.”
Why are our students weak and haven’t real knowledge or enough self-confidence?
As a lecturer, a researcher, and most importantly a father for 5 kids, I have seen over the years that the students, in general, haven’t real knowledge. From my personal perspective, the rationale behind this relates to the following facts:
- Most of their time is concentrating on social media, games, and music more than learning. In turn, they are weak in the research process.
- They think that their educators or instructors are not too smart to catch their plagiarize in the exams or assignments.
- Most of them are suffering from financial problems. Some work more than 12 hours per day. As a consequence, they haven’t time to sleep or read.
- The students haven't enough self-confidence. They believe that following the others is more valuable more than working on building themselves.
- Furthermore, they have a lack of ideas about the consequences of their decisions.
- Most of them haven't the ability to write a full completed paragraph. They usually use the copy-paste process for their assignments and projects.
- I am so sorry to say that most of them have an internal belief of why I should read and study if I can get high marks by cheating.
Agree with previous researchers that educational technology is unavoidable. It is also a great way to bridge generation gaps with our students and translate what we teach into more digestible content for them. This is a huge issue in healthcare education. Only ~27% of physicians report using evidence from Clinical Practice Guidelines in their practice. Why? They report that CPGs are too hard to access and understand, and weren't part of their education. CPGs are the highest level of evidence and are very expensive and time-consuming to create. It is a shame that they just don't translate to today's providers. But, using technology, social media, AI, and other web-based tools is a great way to re-engage healthcare students in these documents in a memorable way! And, it's effective for improving long term retention of that information (in a small cohort study).
I agree that the use of technology is a very important and effective tool for breaking down barriers and assisting with the learning process. I have seen great results for children with dyslexia gain confidence in what they can achieve.
I do have concerns that with the use of AI being more prolific that it takes away the students need to think of different solutions and the ability to review their own work and make changes.
Due to technological changes at a rapid pace, is it necessary for every teacher to be familiar with the technology to enhance the learning of students?

Completely agree but we have to encourage them to use their own words so they can learn and improve not rely on AI to create text for them.
Please don't get me wrong, it is incredible technology but we have to ensure that we are bringing up the youth of today to be able to communicate and think for themselves.
Yes, technology (AI) is going to complement our ability and skill, but we need to focus and emphasize on attitude, professionalism, ethics and communication while teaching the new age medical students.
I do not believe it is a pancea for everything, however it does have many positive aspects.
Yes, this has been really helpful but there is need for limitations in order to encourage personal creativity. In addition, there is need to consider digital divide in terms of accessibility and affordability most especially in the developing world.
The use of technology in education, including web-based teaching, AI (Artificial Intelligence), and various other platforms, has transformed the way students learn and educators teach. Here are some key aspects and benefits of integrating technology into the classroom:
Access to Information: Technology provides students with easy access to vast amounts of information and resources on the internet, enabling them to explore topics in depth and at their own pace.
Web-Based Teaching: Online learning platforms and web-based teaching tools offer flexibility, allowing students to learn from anywhere and at any time. This is especially valuable for distance learning and asynchronous learning.
Personalized Learning: AI-powered platforms can analyze individual student performance and tailor content to their specific needs. This personalization enhances the learning experience and helps students progress at their own speed.
Interactive Learning: Technology offers interactive learning experiences through simulations, virtual labs, and educational games. These tools make learning more engaging and hands-on.
Global Collaboration: Online platforms enable students to collaborate with peers from around the world, promoting cross-cultural understanding and diverse perspectives.
Data-Driven Instruction: Teachers can use data analytics to track student progress and identify areas where students may need extra support. This data-driven approach can lead to more effective teaching strategies.
Resource Sharing: Educators can easily share teaching materials and resources online, fostering collaboration among teachers and ensuring access to high-quality content.
Accessibility: Technology can make education more accessible for students with disabilities through assistive technologies and adaptive learning platforms.
Cost Efficiency: Online resources can reduce the cost of textbooks and other educational materials. Additionally, technology can cut down on administrative tasks, allowing educators to focus more on teaching.
Preparation for the Digital World: Using technology in education prepares students for the digital workplace, where digital literacy and technology skills are increasingly important.
Flipped Classroom: Technology allows for the "flipped classroom" model, where students can review content at home through online resources and use classroom time for discussions and application of knowledge.
Remote Learning: Particularly relevant during events like pandemics, technology enables seamless transitions to remote learning, ensuring continuity in education.
However, it's important to acknowledge some challenges, such as the digital divide (unequal access to technology), privacy concerns, and the need for teacher training in effectively integrating technology into the curriculum.
To maximize the benefits of technology in education, a balanced approach that combines technology with traditional teaching methods, thoughtful curriculum design, and ongoing professional development for educators is essential.
