5.Computers completely rule the life of an average student in any corner of the world in the form of hand-held devices,or printed textbooks (thanks to the use of computers in printing).What follows are some instances of the use of computers in education.
Without computers,learning would be restricted within the walls of institutions.Knowledge and education are being empowered,and the best way to make them accessible to everyone is through computers.Working professionals,stay-at-home parents,senior citizens,even curious minds benefit from online education.E-Learning is accessible and people can afford it.
We all know how learning about the depth of the Mariana Trench in geography class can be a little boring for young children.However,by introducing the audio-visual method of learning,computers have made education interesting.As communication systems enhance,education will change for the better-computers will make our children more curious,because they know that the answers to their questions are at hand.
The Internet is now what once used to be the library.What's more,it is easier to access,along with being a convenient and fairly reliable source of information.
Computers have more or less eliminated paperwork in the administration section of education.Thanks to websites,we can do away with printing brochures,application forms,admission and other administrative documents,resulting in procedures that are cost-effective and environment-friendly.
Unfortunately,computer technology has also brought about easier means for students to cheat on their homework.Since most homework is typed,teachers cannot rely on comparing different forms of handwriting.In addition,students can merely copy work from the Internet.So students should make good use of computers and teacher and parents should monitor and educate them too.
Anyway,there is no questioning over the impact of computers in education; their usage has completely revolutionized the way education is received,communicated and processed.In the years to come,more changes are expected; changes that will further refine the field of education.
