For and Against Essay

Notebook as a valuable learning tool

       Only twenty years ago, the most important elements in the classroom were books but in the last five years computers have been rapidly introduced into the educational field. The presence of notebooks in modern schools is increasing day by day. But does the use of computers in the classroom brings certain easiness for teachers and students or not?

        Nowadays, most teachers and students have replaced paper for computer because this allows them to do homeworks more easily and quickly. Computers contain educational software designed to do activities without using blackboard or chalk. Apart from that, various scientific studies proved the cerebral activity increased in sixty percent by using notebooks to do exercises in subjects such as Chemistry and Mathematics. Another significant point is the small size of notebooks which allows anybody to carry them with no effort in a bag.

       However, a main disadvantage of notebooks is directly related with limited teachers training. Despite of this circumstances, teachers are disposed to implement computers as a innovative learning tool but they do not know how to use the different programs in order to change the typical classes. Because of the lack of economical investment from the government. Another aspect to take into account is how easily kids distract during the class due to absence of teachers’ control when students do their activities. Principally, they tend to  enter many websites and for instance play online games or access to social networks.

       Lastly, these days the advance of mobile device: notebook is noticeable. Computers are one of the most used technological devices all over the world. Nevertheless, no one can ignore their positive and negative effects of notebooks in the process of teaching and learning. By using computers teachers put into students’ hands the possibility to access to a new world and prepare them to live in it. Obviously, the implementation of technology in the classroom requires constant investment.
