TOEFL® essay: With the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more...

[Pastortomas]

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

It is widely accepted that children nowadays have access to more knowledge than ever before and from a much lower age than from even immediate before generations. However, some experts believe that modern technological tools have simply chunked down the information which adversely affects our reasoning. I believe that there is a greater potential for the modern students to develop strong cognitive abilities in spite of the possibly for passive thinking..

One reason I base my opinion on the fact that our memory can store more information when multiple activities with same subject axis are combined on the learning process. Nowadays students can use explanatory videos (audio and visual), online forums (expressing their ideas) and modern devices such as telescopes and soft wares for solving problems which aim for the understanding of their field or simply their interest. In that case the use of modern technology actually aligns with our primitive cognition abilities.

Another reason is that modern technology, especially at the academic level, assists students on presenting their views (from simple questions to elaborated theories). For example, students interested with mathematics or art can respectively express their assertions with state of the art computer graphs or design his insight with advanced software.

Now for the chunking issue students can simply find the courage to challenge themselves with complex information and problems .In that way our ability to reason and memorize efficient and quickly will accelerate. For example, the decision of literature students to expose themselves with new novels form around the globe will expand their curiosity on the various culture. Curiosity is an essential cognitive factor.

In conclusion, I believe that the remarkable technological progress should be used from the students since the results are obvious and profoundly effective. As long as there is the necessary discipline ensuring that technology is serving our purposes not our laziness.

Despite the growth of technology today, many people have comflicting opionions of the statement that technology helps students to learn more information and learn it more quickly. Computer technology is one of the branches of technology that is greatly changing and making the world to become a global village. I will be giving points below to support the statement.

Students life is the period when prapares for the further and all that is need to accomplish this task cannot be gotten only by getting lectures from teachers. The growth of computer technology has led to the creation of websites where most of the academic resources can be gotten. I left high school without a little knowledge in computing but now the I have enter the computer field, I have discovered that What teachers took a year to give us, I could be able to research on the Internet and obtained even more of what they gave us.

Technology has enabled students nowadays to learn what was taught in those old days only in theory, both in theory and practice. My grand father used to tell me that he did Electrical technology in school but I was supprised that he could not identify a switch nor a turbine physically. But the technology today has study technical trades and even go for excussions in companies to see how what they learned in class is applicable in the field. This really shows how technology has influenced the education carreer of students nowadays.

From the above jugements and examples, one can draw a conclusion that technology has has facilitated learning for students, not only in theory but in practice too, and has also eased the means of getting information for students since since data concerning all work of life has been made available for all on the Internet.
