School children are becoming far too dependent on computers. this is having an alarming effect on reading and writing skills. teacher need to avoid using computers in the classroom at all cost and go back to teaching basic study skills. do you agree or disagree?
The educational style has been altered dramatically by the rapid advancement of technology.
However
, the increasing popularity of electric gadgets in modern life encourages dependence on technological tools
among children
. Some people argue that any electric devices should be removed from the classroom as they will pose a damaging effect on their reading and writing skills in the long run. I personally disagree with this
for the following reasons.
On one hand, the prevailing use of technological tools
in the classroom is not beneficial for children
as it promotes their excessive reliance on them. For example
, because computers provide pupils with the meaning of words automatically, the knowledge does not remain in their brains for long. This
will lead to discourage their comprehensive ability as they are less likely to make efforts than the conventional style of reading which requires hard work to look up a dictionary to discover the meaning of unfamiliar words. As a result
, the level of reading skills among children
in modern society is generally lower than in the past.
On the other hand
, in spite of their lower level of essential learning skills due to
their increasing dependence on technology, there are more advantages that promote their understanding. For instance
, Ipads and Chromebooks provided to individual pupils play a significant role in offering visual and sound information that will help children
understand abstract concepts such
as peace and health. In other words
, video clips of the war that illustrate people's suffering lead to a deeper understanding of what the war was like than the written information in the textbooks. Furthermore
, such
learning tools
will be effective for those who have learning disorders thanks to the extensive range of helpful resources available online.
In conclusion, while
the prevalence of electric tools
at school has some negative damages on children
, there is an increasing awareness of their importance today. Therefore
, technological gadgets will become essential learning tools
in the future.Submitted by mizuho on
