Abstract

In the past fifty years, educational technology has been a subject with a rapid growth rate and increasing sophistication. The methods and efficacy of its implementation are the focus of developing its theories and research. In the past, education was unavailable in some areas of the world. Understanding how technology has aided education and its impact will help you appreciate how crucial technology has become in education. 
 This paper collects and analyzes data from thirty teachers and students from thirty schools in the Governorate of Sulaimani to assess the effect of technology on teaching and learning in their schools. It inquires whether technology affects the teaching and learning process and to what extent teachers and students utilize technological tools for teaching and learning. As a result of the researcher's interviews with students and teachers, there is clear and compelling evidence that technology positively influences learning and teaching processes. Interestingly, according to the findings of this study, students are much more aware of technology usage whom they use technology for educational purposes more than teachers.
