Technology in Education

Technology keeps affecting our world in many fields. One of these fields is education. Nowadays many teachers are trying to use technology in their classes as much as they can. On the other hand, there are teachers also who like using pen and paper in thier courses. Of course, students' opinions are very important on this issue and as a student I think classes in which technology is used and classes in which pen and paper are used can be contrasted according to efficiency and enjoyment.

I guess teachers can make courses more effective by using technology. In order to better understand why it is more efficient let's imagine both classes. In first class teacher likes using pen and paper. He/She asks a question to the students. Probably one or two students will be able to answer that question. However, in second class in which technology is used all students will be able to answer that question via internet. This means less time and more efficiency.

Second difference between these two classes is enjoyment of the course. Personally I enjoy more while I am using computer. I guess most of my friends also think like this. The reason for this may be the fact that it is more easy to work with computer. For instance, there isn't spell check in paper. On the other hand, computer allows us to detect the mistakes and it is very easy to edit what we have written.

To sum up, the differences between these two classes are very important and should be considered seriously. We should find the best way for efficient and enjoyable lesson.
