In
the global world of 21st century e books have replaced text books
and notepads have replaced notebooks. E learning has changed the entire
education system. When I was a student my teachers asked me to write notes on
whatever was taught and at the same time I had to concentrate on what the
teacher was speaking. However, the scene is entirely different now. With the
help of technology we are connected to classrooms worldwide and thereby connect
to what the other side of the world is doing. Not only that but it has become a
common norm these days to exchange thoughts thereby making the world smaller
and smaller with each passing day.
A
very important benefit of technology in education is the use of audio-visual
aids. Through the use of these students can come out of the mundane world of
the books and enter into the digitized world where nothing is incomprehensible
or unreachable. The student can learn according to his/her own pace and if
he/she gets stuck anywhere the option of replaying is always there.
However,
every coin has two sides. Technology has its set of disadvantages too if abused
or put into use for unfair means. It can make a person lazy and inactive. The students
are the ones who can fall prey to these adverse affects. It is therefore very
essential to monitor and keep a check. Even though e books and notepads and
think pads have made the work easier there still cannot be any competition with
the tradition ways of studying that are reading and writing. In my opinion
technology should be used for making the work easier. We should never become
too dependent on it as that would be harmful.
