Some people claim technology disturbs students' learning but I basically concur with the position that students nowadays are able to gain more knowledge and learn it more quickly. This is because it helps better understanding of students. On top of that, students can concentrate well and absorb the material quickly.
To begin with, advancement of technology helps students to understand well. This is largely because computer allows considerable amounts of communication and information. For example, our school lends each students a laptop to let students to share their ideas effectively. I was once not sure how TV works in the middle of class so teacher projected one of my friend's powerpoint project on computer for better understanding. Also, teachers can show students pictures of certain animals by searching on the internet if they can't explain appearance of animals by words. This proves that development of technology triggers better understanding of students.
In addition, development of technology helps students to absorb materials quickly by motivating them. An important reason is that students feel interested and get motivated by class using technology. To illustrate, one of my friend didn't really study well but got good score in science thanks to the teaching method of science teacher which was using videos and giving students powerpoint homework. By just watching videos and concentrating on what her friends present in front of her, she could get good marks. It wasn't difficult for her to understand information because it was fun and interesting. Also, conducting various experiments is also helpful. Thanks to advancement of technology, each of the students can experience what they are learning. In this respect, students feel interesting interested and motivated by videos and developed experiment and this leads to concentrating on class as well as absorbing material quickly.
Connections of ideas are somewhat rough and/or vague.
In conclusion, students can gain more information and learn it rapidly thanks to technology because it helps better understanding and motivates students for them to concentrate and understand the material quickly.
