EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

Technology has become vital in societies around the world. It is ever-growing and here to stay. It is hard to imagine life without technology as it conveniently provides instant communications, loads of information, and a variety of ways to manage and conduct business. Technology evolves as it aims to improve quality of life, enhance learning, and provide entertainment. I will be looking into how WEBINARS and VIRTUAL REALITY may be used as educational tools for learning.

WEBINARS
- Seminars conducted on the internet
- May be live or pre-recorded
- Convenient as they are provide information which may be archived
- Time and cost efficient by cutting travel and meeting/conference arrangements

VIRTUAL REALITY
