It
is more organized 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.

Technology
is invading the education field at an increasing pace. The process has
effectively evolved from learning on blackboards to learning on interactive
whiteboards. Our generation dreamt about using desktop computers to solve math
sums, write and draw. The next generation speculated about the benefits of
having laptops in the classroom. Sounds awkward in our days, doesn’t it? It’s
now the era of a tablet, that small immediately operational vehicle of
technology and knowledge.
Why Students Should Be Allowed to Use Laptops in Class
First of all, let us face reality: people do
not write as much today as they used to several years ago. This is especially
true in the case of the youth: teenagers and young adults tend to feel more
confident and comfortable typing on their devices rather than with handwriting.
Keeping records after a teacher in class requires a student to write extremely
fast, which often decreases the readability of the notes taken.
Secondly, technology is something youth
nowadays have got so accustomed to that without it, they operate less
efficiently. Students are native to such devices as smartphones, laptops,
tablets, and other gadgets, and naturally incorporate them in whatever they do,
be it leisure time or studying (EdTech).
Conclusion
We live in the 21st century, and it is difficult to
keep adhering to old ways when each day brings on innovations of different
kinds. Education is not an exception to these processes of rapid evolution;
conventional methods are quickly becoming obsolete. Students nowadays need to
have these innovations seamlessly incorporated into their studying processes.
Allowing them to use laptops in class would be a small but substantial change.
Modern students are digital natives, and can effectively use technologies to
their advantage. They would be able to not just take notes on lectures more
effectively, but would also eagerly engage in new forms of studying such as
remote studying, using interactive online materials, and so on.
