We live in the era of technology, and a testimony to that is the penetration of technology into every part of our lives and almost all fields. The field of education has also embraced this change and has integrated technology in many ways, giving rise to Educational Technology or EdTech. 

According to a Forbes article by Daniel Newman, a technology innovation specialist, educational technology brought drastic positive changes in learning and has benefited all stakeholders. 

The following are the top 5 benefits of educational technology:

• It offers a broader choice of materials that can be accessed easily
  
  The wide array of educational technology that is accessible today offers students a range of options to enhance their learning. These technologies  enable students to understand complex concepts clearly, retain information better & for longer, increase curiosity and be an active learner.

• It provides a fun & engaging learning experience for students
  
  Today’s learners not only want to learn, but they also need to have fun while learning. Educational technology provides students with the opportunity to have fun while learning, which keeps them excited and motivated about their studies. Subjects like Maths & Science can be made fun with the use of videos, animations, games and quizzes. 

• It allows learners to learn from anywhere at any time
  
  Students today can access the internet from anywhere at any time, which lets them complete their assignments & research without having to travel all over a place or wait for a time when they can do so. Therefore, using educational technology helps learners in this regard as it enables them to learn in a classroom, at school, or at home.

• Accommodates multiple learning styles
  
  Educational technology enables teachers not to follow a one-size-fits-all approach but cater to the different learners in a classroom. EdTech provides personalised ways of learning for all types of learners: Auditory (recorded lessons), Visual (videos), and Tactile (devices, swipe screens) learners.
• It helps learners stay up to date with the latest technological advancements
  
  Students who stay up to date with the latest technological advancements will improve their knowledge of various fields and develop skills that they can utilise in the future. These students will also be more likely to advance in their careers quickly because they acquire an excellent understanding of the latest trends in several fields and be able to help organisations become more efficient.
