Should
students be allowed to use computers and tablets in classes?
notebooks, tablets and
cellphones are all technology that students are accustomed to
and can use as ancillary learning aids. They should not
lose access to potential learning tools that have known benefits in a classroom. Students
use e-books. ... Students should have access to them
to look up information during class.
Computers and technology should be allowed in
schools because it makes everything more organized. No student will ever lose a
paper due to the dreadful state of their backpack because it will already be
safe in the mainframe of a computer. This will also make it so students have
lighter backpacks so those who walk to school don't have an extremely heavy
load.
Students are
technology natives
The reason why I think of this
is why tablets should be used it's so because I can watch YouTube and do it in
spare time but my teachers who are mean teachers never want me to let me use my
tablet in spare time you don't want to do one through eight. The use of personal
technology devices in the classroom is prevalent at colleges and universities.
Rather than embracing this trend, some faculty, departments and even entire
institutions have started putting limitations on students’ use of personal
technology in class.
I have experienced this firsthand in multiple classes at my own
university. It started with teachers asking students to put away their mobile
phones; now instructors are asking us to keep our laptops closed for the
duration of class. The reasons behind these limitations typically have been
concerns about students’ attention spans: a desire to prevent multitasking,
keep them off of social media sites and limit distractions to others.
While it is inevitable that students will be distracted at times,
putting constraints on the use of personal technology devices will not solve
this problem. Restricting use of devices in the classroom is moving away from
the trend of improving education by integrating technology. Here are five reasons
why educational institutions should continue on that path instead of stepping
back.
