Hi! I’m writing to you cause last week I attended an unputdownable debate on my online classes. At the debate me and my class were talking about the pros and cons of using technology in education.
We use a lot of technology in our education in the here and now. The teachers can explain any topic they want with different presentations. More and more schools are introducing an e-register that can help with the process of teaching a student.
The argument I used in the debate was for example that when you search pictures about information is the best way to learn quickly. And when you want to find some words, Internet dictionary is quicker than a paper one. Another argument is that the Internet, You Tube have a million and one guides about everything and when you don’t know something you can learn it.
And how about you? What do you think about combination education with technology? Do you like it? Or do you prefer standard learning better? Tell me in comments down below!

Hi! I am writing to tell you about a debate in which I attended. This school debate was on 10 January at 5 p.m in our school. The first classes took part in the meeting. We talked about pros and cons of using technology in education.
In the debate we mentioned examples for using technology in lessons. For example, it is used for show video, film, the presentation or thanks technology, schools can have e-register on the web or application on phone, where we can check almost everything. It is a great facilitation. Many people use these solutions
In debate I was mentioned about interactive boards. Teachers can show content in interesting methods. This denouement works well in every age group.
And what you are thinking about this? In what way else are we using technology in education? Do you like it? Please let me know what you think about it!

The debate about the pros and cons of using technology in the education was held last week at the hall. In this debate took part students who wanted to attend. However all classes practicipated in this event.
Have been discuseed diffrent themes. Speakers said when we learn, we should cut off various devicess that may distract us. Of course technology and the internet are very useful and help us learn, but you have to be moderate. Different devices are used by teachers in conducting the lessons. So most of the technology is useful.
Technology favours us in a lot of cases. If we are not addicted and we have moderation the devices can good of us. There are also downsides. Addicted may be very dangerous to us. If we will so focused on the phone that we won’t be able to see the surroundings, we may get hurt. Sometimes we are unable to focus on learning due to notifications and and we get distracted. Therefore, it is worth turning off the devices before starting learning.
Do you agree with this? What do you think about this? Share your opinion in the comments!

I have recently participated in a school debate about the pros and cons of using technology in education. The debate was held on 5th of February. Six people took part in it, including myself. We have all exchanged our views on the topic.
During the debate, the speakers have given the following examples of new technology use in education:
- Smartboards.
Smartboards are being used often as a replacement of blackboards. They give students more interactive experience and can be used to display videos, photos, or notes.
- Augmented Reality (AR).
AR devices allow educators to improve learning through increasing engagement and interactivity.
- Cloud servers.
Cloud servers allow students to access all the materials they need through the cloud.
- Tablets/ laptops.
Tablets and laptops enable better interaction with the material and help save money over book costs.
Arguments for pros and cons of technology use in education that I used in the debate were:
Pros:
- Using technology can be exciting for students since it’s different from traditional ways of learning.
- Technology provides a variety of resources and information for students to use.
- Technology prepares students for life in a world mostly driven by innovation and science.
- Students are more motivated to work when the process of learning is suitable and enjoyable for them.
Cons:
- Technology can distract students from work when Ads, notifications etc. are constantly popping up.
- Spending much time using electronical devices can damage eyesight.
- Technology makes cheating easier.
What’s your opinion on the topic? Are you for technology use in education or would you like to keep it traditional? You can share your thoughts in the comment section below.

School debate about using technology in education was held 26th January in school audiotorium. In this debate took part students and teachers that wanted to hear new things about future education. The bigger site of students and even teachers said that using phone during doing homework disperse and they can't concentrate. So we came to the conclusion that, If we want to using the internet while doing homework, we need to turn out the notifications. But in our phones, tablets and computers, there isn't the button that turn every notification, so good solution will be that developers add button called "turn off all notifications" during doing homeworks or important documents. Doing homework by technology isn't always safe. There are a lot of sites that have fake informations so google need to do a certification for real sites, checking by experts If we want to learn safe. Learning by the internet have a pros and cons. The biggest pros is that internet is faster than books but his cons is that It isn't always safe. But If developers starts thinking seriously about education by technology, It will be safe, quick and we'll can learn much more informations in less time.
This is my opinion. Let me know If you agree or disagree with our debate.

Hi!
Last Monday I took part in a school debate about advantages and disadvantages , so I’m writing to tell you all about it.
On Monday during lunch break me and my friend Kate participated in a discussion about technology in education with our friend Sam. We said that technology is useful, but he disagreed. Our biggest argument was that you can search a lot of information on your phone, computer, etc. Also with devices learning is easier for example: calculator can solve your math problems much faster than the human brain. He said that technologies only distract us. That is a little bit true, but you can always turn off your phone or put it away. One of his arguments was that many people listen to music while doing homework and it affects their grades. On one hand, his right cause lot of people are bad at multitasking and get distracted easily, but on the other hand, it’s dependant on what kind of music you’re listening to. If you’re listening to classic music it can actually help you with studying. In sum, we said that if you use technology to get help and you’re responsible then it can really help. In the end Sam changed his mind and agreed with us.
And what is your opinion about it? Do you think technology can help in education or there is no pros about that?

Hi, I’m writing about a debate in which I participated. This debate was about pros and cons of using technology in education. The debate was on 2 February in my school. All the
students and teachers from my school took part in this debate.
In this debate we talked about using technology when we are learning at home and in lessons. Speakers said technology has good and bad sides. The good side is we can find information about everything we need on the Internet. For example we can easy and quickly check words in the translator. A lot of schools have interactive boards. They are very helpful. Teachers can show students presentations or videos on them. With technology we can learn faster than with classic forms of getting knowledge. The bad side is the blue light from screens. Unfortunately because of it we have sleep disorders. We also feel stressed. We find it harder to concentrate.
Technology can be very useful and helpful, but it can also distract us when we are learning. When we are doing homework or learning we must remember to switch off the notifications from social media. This is the only way to use technology correctly and focus on the applications we need to learn and do homework.
What are you thinking about this? Do you think technology is helpful in education? Let me know if you agree or disagree with this debate.

Most of the speakers mentioned mainly about advantages of such technologies.
Firstly they said that we can find information fast connected with all of school subjects, that can be used in doing homework or different projects. There are hundreds of multimedia presentations and interactive board that can be very useful and interesting methods of teaching and learning. However, the participants of the debate also mentioned about disadvantages of technology in education.
It was said that unfortunately we use so often different technologies that we forget about normal paper books, in this situation we’ll forget soon how to stimulate our brains to working and thinking. Students won’t learn as they think there is need to do it because we have everything written on the internet in our phones which always have with us.
I also personally took part in discussion. The argument I used was for example that we can search and find more information faster and easier that in paper books. We can translate words and even the whole sentences into almost every language. On the other hand I think that only sitting in front of the screen or with a phone in a hand causes that we can be addicted. Lack of electricity or signal makes us nervous.
My dear readers- what is your opinion of this particular topic? Do you have similar arguments to ours? maybe you have something to add, please comment down below
