Nowadays you can find computers and smart
boards in almost every modern school and university. More and more technology
moves into the classrooms, even though this is done for beneficial reasons,
there are still negative impacts on the students because some study methods
cannot be replaced by technology.
However the technology that is provided
today, gives the students and professors the easiest access to knowledge in
many different ways for example E-Books that can be purchased online and read
on an I-Pad or any other tabloid. There are many more strategies I will point
out later in this blog.
Furthermore, there are people that dislike
this kind of learning strategy, for example the older generation prefers
calculating in their head instead of using a calculator because this is how
they grew up, with no technology.
On the other
hand, a calculator is a time savior; students get an accurate result and save
time. But this is only one of many technical devices that are still harmless
and not even counted in nowadays technology anymore.
It is important
to look at the impacts of technology, which is the main purpose of this blog,
the student life turns less social and less face-to-face communication is used.
In addition, technology at universities and schools can be very distracting and
used for other purposes rather than research or study purposes.
