some people believe that technology in education can be a bone for students. Other people believe that it just create distraction. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Students are digital natives. They have grown up with

technology

; it is woven into their lives. Some people believe that it is useful to use

technology

as a learning tool in classrooms. Whereas, other people believe that it just creates a distraction. I will discuss both the views in the upcoming paragraphs.

To begin

with, using

technology

in the classroom allows you to experiment more in pedagogy and get instant feedback.

For instance

, it will enable the students for more active learning and can increase engagement through online polling or asking quiz questions during lectures.

Secondly

,

technology

ensures full participation in the classroom, which helps shy students as well who would not usually raise their hands in class.

Also

, it allows the teacher to regularly check in with the students for feedback on course materials and assignments. On the flip side,

technology

can be a distraction in the classroom. There are always some students who may find it hard to concentrate during lectures when a wide range of digital devices are around them.

Furthermore

, with the use of

technology

, it can be easy to foster cheating in class and on assignments.

For example

, the digital age makes it easier-from copying- and- pasting someone else's work to hiring an essay- writer from an online essay mill.

Last

but not least, some students do not have equal access to

technology

. To illustrate, some students cannot afford iPods, laptops or even the textbooks required for classes and learning. To conclude, it is clear that the benefits outweigh the cons.

Technology

can be a highly useful tool, but

that is

all it is- a tool. In today's hyper-connected world, constructive use of

technology

can enhance learning efficiently.
