Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.
There is an ever-increasing use of
technology
, such
as tablets and laptops, in the classroom. It is often argued that this
is a positive development, whilst others disagree and think it will lead to adverse ramifications. This
essay agrees that a moreover
increase in technology
is beneficial to students and teachers.
Firstly
, it is clear that the Internet has provided students with access to more information than ever before. This
has given learners the ability to research and learn about any subject at the touch of a button. It is therefore
agreed that technology
is a very worthwhile tool for education. Wikipedia is a prime example, where students can simply type in any keyword and gain access to in-depth knowledge quickly and easily.
Secondly
, however
, many disagree and feel that technology
deprives people of real human interaction
. Human interaction
teaches people valuable skills such
as discourse, debate and empathy. Without these soft skills, many people find it difficult to become successful in work and their personal lives. Despite this
, human interaction
is still possible through the internet and this
essay disagrees technology
should be dismissed for this
reason. For instance
, Skype and Facebook make it possible for people to interact in ways that were never before possible.
Lastly
, while the benefits of technology
, which particularly the internet, allow students to tap into limitless sources of information, some still feel that people should be wary of this
new phenomena and not allow it to curb face to face interaction
. However
, as long as we are careful to keep in mind the importance of human interaction
in education, educational benefits are clearly positive.Submitted by banukaschool on
