Technology
Changing How Students Learn, Teachers Say
This article is about how technology
might be changing the teaching style as well as the skills children are learning
in school for the bad. They think technology in the classroom is a good thing
for children but they have observed that it causes children to have shorter
attention spans. It has also been shown that technology might cause a decline
in writing skills. According to the teachers it seems that the students pay
more attention to the lesson when there is technology involved but the children
might be over stimulating their brains.
Another thing some teachers see as a problem with using technology constantly is
the fact that it is starting to hinder children from being able to talk to
other students as well as teachers and etc. face to face. The teachers also
think that technology isn't challenging the students enough because they are becoming
use to getting answers immediately that they fail to question what they are
reading to make sure it actually makes sense.
I
agree that technology is a good and bad thing when it comes to using it in the
school system. Using advanced technology in the schools can really help the
children learn by helping them do research and gain skills that might help them
in the real world, such as typing. Another good thing about using technology in
the classroom is that it helps children become more interested in certain
things which might help them better complete the tasks teachers provide. The
bad part of using technology is that it can be very distracting, for example if
students are allowed to use computers during class they might be on social
networks and etc. instead of doing the work the teacher has assigned. I believe
that as long as the technology is monitored and isn't the only thing used in
class then it shouldn't be a problem because ultimately the world is slowly but
surely becoming more and more based on the newest technological advances.
