Computers are now the basis of the modern world. They should therefore be introduced into classrooms, and their programs used for direct teaching purposes. However, dependence on computers in teaching may carry a certain degree of risk to students. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
It cannot be denied that
computers
are more and more important for all people
today. It is widely believed that computers
should play a role in educational purposes including teaching in schools
. On the other hand
, many people
state that it might not good for pupils if teachers
depend on only these electronic devices. This
essay will discuss both sides and present my own view.
Computers
have several benefits for education. First
of all, it improves the learning process in children. This
is because they can access the internet which provides different areas of knowledge by using computers
. It is more convenient and useful. Moreover
, there are various computer programmes which help teachers
to teach students. To explain, teachers
can use these modern programmes to explain information in classrooms. It is not only tangible but also
interesting for children. A research
conducted by Oxford University revealed that students are likely to understand science issues if professors explain via using animation on the internet.

On the other hand
, people
who disagree claim that it might be a risk for young people
. Firstly
, using computers
too much is not good for health. For example
, it can lead to eyes irritation and myopia in children. Moreover
, computers
require power to operate. Therefore
, schools
might have higher electricity costs and might charge an additional fee from students. For example
, some primary schools
in Thailand do not allow teachers
to use computers
or other electronic devices in classrooms as it is a waste of money.
To sum up, although
using computers
in schools
has its drawbacks, I strongly support that computers
should utilize for academic purposes as they develop student skills and understanding of subjects.Submitted by molwan_tae on
