It is bringing exciting possibilities offered by adaptive learning programs that offer glimpses to a horizon in which personalized learning can be found, through which personalized devices provide content directly to the student.

A surprisingly strong candidate among these technological developments has been cloud-based office productivity tools.

And, as document saved on Drive, they can refer to it at any time.

Once students stand writing each work is instantly saved. Now, teachers will not have to hear, “I lost my rough draft,” or “I cannot find my paper”. Time for hunting, looking or wasting time rewriting what was already completed. Students can easily access their Drive anywhere there’s Internet access, whether on a computer or device.

The writing process is not linear; it is changing, shifting, refocusing and going back and many more. Google Docs is completely a flexible tool that allows students to easily access, edit, collaborate and revise using the programs.

Once Students finish assignments, teachers can read it and make comments directly on the digital papers. The students will get an email notification that their documents have been evaluated and available for viewing.

Time is something that cannot be created. There is a fixed payment; it does not grow when the workloads increased. But students need support to get improved. Google Drive is an amazing solution to enhance the student’s writing and saves teacher’s time.

Education is considered as the fundamental to sustainable development; it is a powerful driver of development and one of the strongest instruments for decreasing poverty and enhancing health. It makes people more productive, to earn a better living and enjoy a happy life. Besides a good education system prepare people to contribute to the country’s overall economic growth.

Here, in this article we will see how education impacts us and its significance in human life:

The first step is that education helps to become good students, parents, entrepreneurs, doctors, siblings and honest citizens. Being in contact with an educated person and having an intelligent conversation with him expands knowledge and introduces a certain creativity and joy in the mind.

Education is the major factor in our life because it is the foundation on which we create everything else. First of all, education is being enlightened to new thoughts, ideas or potential. It can be accomplished systematically, but that does not have to be that way. Education is when the mind progress and expands.

If someone wants to try, get or participate in something, they have to learn. That first time a kid realizes they want to be able to get to the table and grab that toy themselves. By looking around, they soon come to know that there is a faster way to get what they want-walking and hence that milestone of the progress starts.

Education has become one of the best indicators of life outcomes like employment income and social status, and is strong of attitudes and wellbeing, as per the report.

Higher levels of education are associated with various positive outcomes including higher social trust, greater political interest and more. The level of education is the strongest predictor of outcomes compared to age, gender, income in all models, except for the outcome of wellbeing as well as health.

Education is vital for children to address global warming, increased vulnerability to disease, the increasingly rapid development of technologies and the accompanying need for ethical governance and protections. In this modern age, education helps to under the advanced robotics and artificial intelligence, human potential and contribution are maximized.

The future needs much more than a simple knowledge of facts and basic skills. Education is the main driving force for building a society that can interpret, analyze, and think critically and creatively through the unpredictable problems across disciplines.

Education prepares a person to fully participate in our world in two different ways, first is a knowledge perspective, a comprehensive education exposes you to a shared sense of identity, language as well as purpose.

Education teaches you to move within social and professional spaces, and at its best education deepens the emotional as well as psychological intelligence. People learn to be more empathetic to different compassionate to the self and flexible with our view of the world.

These are some common examples to show the significance of education in human life. Besides, it has plays role in our life in different ways.

The rapid transformation and increased complexity of today’s world present new challenges and put new demands on our education system. There has been generally a increasing awareness of the necessity to change and enhance the preparation of students for productive functioning in the continually changing and highly demanding environment.

In confronting this problem it is important to consider the complexity of the education system itself and numerous problems that must be addressed.  Day by day as technology is increasing, the problem which is created by them is just rapid and many are suffering from it. The world is behind new and modern technology that makes their work smoother and easier. While the world is progressing more in technologically advanced, thus increasing the need for balanced, bright, educated and healthy individuals but our school systems are falling further and further behind in fulfilling the needs.

With the going addiction to using technology in education, many parents and schools are providing computers to children at young ages to make their life easier. It is considered as the best way to make them know lots of things, new things just on surfing rather than reading books. The present guiding generation just gives their children a head start on developing academic skills and well also to prepare themselves for the workplace of a better future to competitiveness.

But in recent past, educators, psychologists, and different organizations like WHO have raised their voice for the concern about children using a computer at an early age.

No doubt, disability, and difficulty can be easily bridged by technology but different questions that are raised on whether this form of educating children will be helpful and beneficial for their physical, emotional and mental taking care.

We all know that there are various health problems in using a computer and other electronic gadgets at an early age. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common cause. It has a greater risk for students who are just using a computer from an early age.

Today, parents select the school for their children based on the infrastructure and luxury the children want without even thinking about the negative impacts. The continuous usages of the computer may cause the risk of eye-strain and eye-rashes that may include dryness due to not blinking enough, and get headaches and blurry vision.

Another factor is emotional issues; due to the intensive usages of the computer at an early age, children are badly affected, their interaction with human decrease. It also reduces the amount of time a child spends in creative play. Educators emphasize that direct interaction with others has the greatest impact on modern education we do not find it.

On teaching certain subjects such as History, Social and Sciences, teachers find some problems to teach them as they cannot completely fully described on the blackboard or by oral recitation.

All in all, technology is great for growth but, we have limits in each technology and should use it as per our use otherwise it may bring adverse affect on children.
