Educational environment has changed with time. Over the past few decades, as development of high-technology such as a computer or the Internet has affected children’s education. People believed that the computer plays an important role in education while the schools and teachers are essential. In this essay, I will discuss both opinions in detail.
There are some benefits of using a computer in child’s education. To begin with, the computer provides students with various ranges of useful, educational programs and information regardless of time and place. Students are able to obtain knowledge about other country’s culture and language. For example, one of my nieces, she learns and practices English on the Internet web and does her homework. Secondly, for children who cannot afford to go to school or absent from school because of sickness or illness, on-line study helps them. Also, it is possible to study repeatedly, it might increase their understanding.
On the other hand, there are some advantages to go to school and study with teachers. First of all, face to face study increases student’s academic performance and creates the best outcome in education. If the students have questions or difficulty of understanding, the teacher can helps them to figure out their studying problems through feed-back. In addition, pupils develop their social skills and make friends easily with their peer groups.
To sum up, as discussed above, it is true that the computer and schools have both advantages for education. The computer helps children to acquire knowledge and convinces of modern education while the schools and teacher enhance student’s academic performance. Therefore I firmly believe that student’s should go to school and use computers in their study as well. |
