QUESTION 1
1.1 Discuss four (4) potential impacts technology has on teaching and learning (8)
1. Increased access to information: Technology allows students to access a wide range of
information, resources, and educational materials that may not be readily available in traditional
settings. This can enhance their learning experience and provide them with a more comprehensive
understanding of the subject matter (Mikre, 2019).
2. Personalized learning: Technology can be used to create personalized learning experiences for
students, allowing them to progress at their own pace and focus on areas where they need
additional support. This can help to address individual learning needs and improve overall academic
performance (Bhansali, 2020).
3. Improved communication and collaboration: Technology facilitates communication and
collaboration between students and teachers, as well as among peers. This can lead to more
interactive and engaging learning experiences, as well as the development of important
interpersonal skills (Ally, 2008).
4. Enhanced engagement and motivation: Using technology in teaching can make the learning
process more interactive and engaging for students, leading to increased motivation and interest in
the subject matter. This can ultimately lead to improved academic performance and a more positive
attitude towards learning (Means et al., 2009).
