Study at traditional school, or at home by using technology? #1 (permalink) Thu Sep 02, 2010 17:08 pm   Study at traditional school, or at home by using technology?
 

hello kitos, thanks in advance for correcting my essay

It should be admitted that technology has made the life more convenient, which is very hard, if not impossible, to consider the world without it. Over the past few decades, students have the opportunity to access to diverse information in their field of study by using median such as television, computers, the Internet, etc. This fact has caused very deep concerns among psychologists whether it is better for young people to study at traditional schools or at home. While I wouldn’t rule out the significant role of technology, I hold the view that it is better to study at traditional schools.
In the first place, it is better to be mentioned that although school plays an important role in teaching, it provides students for their future life. To put it more simply, students become familiar with other students, especially those who are in their same age, and they learn the most significant value in their social interactions with other people at school. They learn how to be sociable, and fulfill their social needs. If students had not learned to communicate with others, they would have had reasonable problems in the course of time.
Furthermore, students learn better at school with teachers and making use of different utilities. To put the discussion in a wider context, consider a person who learns at home. He doesn’t have the possibility to use practical instruments in some courses like physics, and biology. Moreover, no one can ever deny that median has a wide range of information, but not all the information students need. Students may face critical problems in their studies. At school, they can ask teachers, and solve their problem.
To sum up, technology has changed the world, and gives the chance to students to learn wherever they are and whenever they want, but it can never replace traditional schools, in which students learn valuable things.

It should be admitted that technology has made OUR LIVES more convenient, AND IT WOULD BE very hard, if not impossible, to consider the world without it. Over the past few decades, students have HAD the opportunity to access diverse information in their field of study by using median such as television, computers, the Internet, etc. This fact has caused very deep concerns among psychologists AS TO whether it is better for young people to study at traditional schools or at home. While I wouldn’t rule out the significant role of technology, I hold the view that it is better to study at traditional schools.

In the first place, it is better to be mentioned that although school plays an important role in teaching, it ALSO CONDITIONS students for their future life. To put it more simply, students become familiar with other students, especially those who are in their same age GROUP, and they learn the most significant value in their social interactions with other people at school. They learn how to be sociable, and fulfil their social needs. If students had not learned to communicate with others, they would have had reasonable problems in the course of time.
Furthermore, students learn better at school with teachers and BY making use of different utilities. To put the discussion in a wider context, consider a person who learns at home. He doesn’t have the possibility to use practical instruments in some courses like physics, and biology. Moreover, no one can ever deny that median has a wide range of information, but not all the information students need. Students may face critical problems in their studies. At school, they can ask teachers, and solve their problemS.

To sum up, technology has changed the world, and gives the chance to students to learn wherever they are and whenever they want, but it can never replace traditional schools, in which students learn valuable things.

Where do I want to study:at home by using technology or at traditional schools? #6 (permalink) Fri Sep 02, 2011 15:45 pm   Where do I want to study:at home by using technology or at traditional schools?
 

Where do I want to study:at home by using technology or at traditional schools?
As to us at present,it is lucky and cheerful for us to enjoy the outcomes of technology.We can study no only at traditional schools but also at home by using computers\televisions\mobile and so on.Some people think that study at home by using technology is very convenient and probably it will save money.In my concepts,it is suitable to study at traditional schools because the schools have the things and grounds that the homes don't have.
Why do the traditional schools have the steady place?Good question!Please permit me ask you a question:why would each countries and societies like to donate the money and resources to the schools?The reason is that the school is the comprehesive organization.Besides studying by using technology which can be utilized at home;you can study by going to libraries and laboratories,you can study by take exercises on the playground and in the gymnasiums,and although you can study with teachers one-to-one,you really have no chance to take courses with teachers each other.
Cultivating the unity and coordinate is also why I want to study at traditional schools.In schools,you can study with a group and you will gain more knowledge because there are a thousand Hamlet in a thousand people's eyes.In addition,only in schools can we fulfil how to handle somethings with others very well and how to make friends,which is beneficial for us to suit the societies.
Traditional schools also have merits that can let students require themselves strictly.As to me,study at home will make stressful atmosphere.When I study at home,I will feel too relaxed to try my best to fulfil the goals.I think others are the same.Schools are to students what enterprises are to staffs.There are many principles in the schools;if not abiding by the principles,we will be punished by the schools.Thus,this is also helpful for us to suit the societies.
Overall,with the science developing and the society advancing,we can study by using technology;and at the same time,we should study at traditional schools because schools are the study places where you aren't able to study at home.And this is benefited a great deal to our the whole lives.
