Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? with the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. |
Some people might say that the best way to learn is traditional ways, such as reading a book, listening a lecture and so on. I don't think that those are wrong, however, I firmly believe that there are some ways to aid students to learn with the help of technology. That is, it enables them to access to information easily and provide much more materials than ever before.
First of all, students now can enjoy the sea of endlessly accessible information at their home. It can be done by the advent of Internet. They can search information of the library of Harvard University without going there. Because they can go everywhere through Internet. To illustrate this, when I was a high school student, when was Internet did not exist, I had to find materials and data at the library, which was far from my house. So it took a pretty long time to search information for my assignments. However, as I became a freshman in my university, I was able to write my reports much more faster with the help of Internet. I could utilize not only data and materials of my university, but also of almost every university in the world via Internet.
In addition, there are a lot more information on Internet. As I mentioned earlier, students now can go everywhere in the globe at anytime when they want via Internet. So they can find vast amount of materials with just one click. For example, one day, my father who is a dentist complained that there is no way to acquire cutting-edge skills of dentistry. So I adviced him to search some skills through Internet, and I taughed him how to use Internet. As a result, he became a dentist like just graduated. All in all, Internet can be used to not only students' study, but also everyone's life.
To sum up, technology, especially Internet, enables students to access to information more easily and offers a lot of materials to everyone. It is enabled by the development of technology. In this sense, personally, I am curious what can be done by technology in the future. And I hope that the development of techology for students would be continued. |
