An increasing number of schools provide tablets and laptop computers for students to use in school, replacing books and other printed materials like exams and assignments. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

Technology

is widely spreading in many fields and education is no exception. There are a lot of experiments done in the field of teaching and introducing

technology

is one

such

thing. While the evolution of

tablets

and

laptops

is happening in school currently and it helps

students

in many ways, it cannot replace books and other forms of printed materials. On one hand, schools giving

laptops

and

tablets

can increase the student's knowledge in the subjects.

Students

get an opportunity to learn about the subject in detail using

laptops

and

tablets

. A lot of information is available across the internet and

students

can easily access them and use it for learning and researching.

Thus

giving

students

electronic gadgets can help them in their

studies

.

On the other hand

, letting

students

use electronic gadgets inside the classroom can easily distract them from their

studies

. Social media and games can easily attract school

students

making them turn away from their

studies

.

Students

can get easily distracted when a game pops up or a movie ad comes up when they are studying. A study shows that studying in books traditionally can create a sense of study among

students

rather than using

laptops

or

tablets

. In conclusion, while bringing

technology

into schools can help

students

learn new concepts and research them, it can

also

result in them getting away from

studies

and leading them to waste a lot of time.

Thus

it is better to use

technology

as an addition to books and exams rather than making them the

first

choice of education.
