Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say this is a positive trend, while others argue that it leads to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.
The development of
technology
in this
era encourages the massive usage of computers
in every sector of our life including education. Half of the population stands with the positive impact of computers
including laptops and iPads while
others believe this
trend will lead to negative effects on students’ performances. In my opinion, this
technology
will bring positive changes in the advancement of education.
Nowadays, the growth of the tech era can not be denied. Technology
helps mankind to get done their work easily no exception in educational things. The academic world also
feels the sense that technology
is beneficial. Firstly
, the Internet can be accessed through our computers
providing us with various resources for learning like videos and online journals or articles. Secondly
, using online platforms will broaden our interaction with each other to collaborate and interact. For instance
, when the whole world was locked down during COVID-19, all of the class was conducted online by utilizing Zoom or Google Meet. It can not be run without automation. Thirdly
, another benefit of technology
is reducing cost and time consumption in submitting students’s assignments. We are no longer using paper and going offline to submit the assignment. It all can be done within our computers
.
On the other hand
, technology
is not just bringing the good side. It also
comes with several considerations due to
the time consuming while
using computers
. Game or social media on students’s computers
might interrupt their concentration. Stearing computers
for hours has side effects on human health especially the eyes due to
radiation from computers
’s displays. In addition
, access to artificial intelligence has the potential to reduce students’ creativity due to
the easy ways to get the answer to every question of their homework.
In conclusion, half of the majority offended these devices because of health issues, focus and creativity of students may be reduced. On the other side, the accessibility of learning materials, ease of communication with others, also
time and costs are reduced. These are the prior considerations to be involved with technology
despite the disadvantages it brings.Submitted by hamidatul.mubayyinah on
