Technology in Class
When
talking about the use of tablets and computers in the classroom, we need to
understand the concept of technology. Technology entails input conversion of input
according to various system and makes data a raw fact. Technology concerns all
the tools that are potential that offer many benefits to students in the
classroom. The paper below explores whether students should be allowed to use
tablets and computers in the school.
Should Students be Allowed to Use
Computers and Tablets in the Classroom?
Students
need not lose access to essential tools for learning. These technological tools
have many benefits for the in classwork. The use of e-books through personal
devices by students makes the students be informed in the classroom. These
devices include cellphones and tablets (Cubukcu & Tosuntas, 2016).
There
are several reasons as to why learning institutions should keep using
technology instead of turning back. Firstly, these students are natives of
technology since it is their second nature. These students are have
incorporated with many aspects of life. The e-learning tools like cellphones,
tablets, and notebooks are the students learning aids (Waite, 2017). However, the use of e-books by students is essential
for learning due to several reasons. They can be accessed easily using personal
devices of students; they cost-effective and are friendly to the environment (Domingo & Garganté, 2016). So, they should use them during
the class to look for necessary information.
Lastly,
learners need to use these technological tools since they add supplementary
information that makes learning easy. They use the devices to get the
information being discussed in the classroom. Both the students and their
teachers use these devices in obtaining additional information.
In conclusion, at a higher level, technological tools help the students get
prepared for fieldwork. Some engage themselves in projects that require
exclusive access by the use of these devices. The purpose of technology will
generally make learning easy and applicable
