ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Education technology

Education technology is a fancy way of saying that we can use computers and other electronic things, like tablets or iPads, to help us learn things. It's like having a super smart teacher who knows everything and can help us understand things better.

Imagine you're learning about math in school. Your teacher might use a computer program or app on a tablet to show you how to solve a problem. Or you might have a special type of computer called a "smart board" in your classroom. This computer is like a giant TV screen that your teacher can write on and show you pictures and videos.

There are also online classes and virtual reality programs that can take you to places you've never been before, like outer space or under the ocean.

Education technology can also make it easier for teachers to grade your assignments and give you feedback. Sometimes you might even take tests on a computer instead of on paper.

So, in short, education technology is a way for schools to use computers and other electronic things to help you learn and make learning more fun and engaging!
