▶ Your Answer :
There has been an argument regarding
whether computer is useful tool for education or not. I strongly believe that
computer enables student to obtain fine education with efficient manner. I would like to
provide several reasons to support my idea.
First, I believe that computer enable
students to access more advanced educational material. Students can get deeper
and wider knowledge by obtaining additional information via computer rather
than confining tothe lecture from their school. In my case, during my college
year, I was interested in medical issues, especially related to Alzheimer
disease. So I searched for articles via pubmed and read at least three articles
per month, which was very helpful when I wrote a 30 paged-paper for my
Bio-chemistry class. Furthermore, the students can get extra help on their
school work. When they have concepts or anything they do not understand from
school lecture or homework, they could look for videos or slides that include explanation
related to the concept.
Secondly, various programs and websites
enable students to study more efficiently. These days, professors highly use
websites or programs for their lecture annd other study material. For example, many professors in US use websites to give students assignments. Whenever students do their assignments, they can have feedback
immediately via the website. Some websites also explain why they did not get
correctly providing correct answer. As students have immediate feedback, they could learn related
content more efficiently without waiting until the next day. Moreover, some
computer programs help their understanding. There is concept that is hard to be
imagined or visualized such as molecular structures. These programs basically visualized
these uncertain concept and enable them to understand correctly and clearly.
To sum, I believe that computer can be a useful
tool that can be used in various purposes in education.
