ADVANTAGES OF USING 
TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
Accessibility impacts
• Its ease of use and accessibility impacts and benefits both the student and 
teacher. 
• For example, a teacher can ask students to take an online quiz which will 
provide them with instant feedback, eliminating the time that the teacher 
would have otherwise taken to grade and look through each assignment.

Reduces both the time and cost
• Technology reduces both the time and cost of teachers and also allows 
students to remain on top of their education by having permanent access to 
information.
• For example being able to check deadlines or emailing a teacher about 
queries that they may have at any time of the day.
