My group and I
decided we would choose to write about the effects of technology on students
and their education. I chose to specify
on how technology has helped student, whether it’s taking online classes or
downloading eBooks. I have learned a ton of new thing throughout my research
about this topic. Technology has come a long way in the past century. People
are becoming more aware of what is happening around the world, we are able to
video chat with loved ones that live thousands of miles away, and most
importantly benefit from the new teaching strategies technology has in store
for students. Studies have shown that a student is actually more motivated to
read an eBook than a used torn up book. Arnold Schwarzenegger saw a makeover in
school textbooks which was eBooks. Technology has also allowed students with
tons of other things to do, like work, take care of their elders, and children
attend school as well. This was almost impossible twenty years ago, thank to
the portability of online classes now we are able to accomplish that.
This semester I was
assigned an essay which required some online research to be done. I have done
many research essays in the past, but this one was different I got to choose my
topic. I have always loved computers and technology, so I thought it was a
great idea to write about technology and its benefits. It has benefited more
than millions of peoples on the world and is continuing to. I doubt that
technology hasn’t benefited one person in the world. It’s used in our daily
lives from the hospital, to street light, even in our homes. Preparing students
for the future in schools is the key to their future success.
Writing my
introduction was the easiest part of the essay, getting all my ideas down on
paper. Doing research and finding articles about my specific topic was fairly easy.
I found proofreading and rewriting parts of my essay the hardest part, because
every time I reread my essay I found something I didn’t like and want to
change. Other than that I enjoyed working on this topic and felt accomplished after
seeing my group blog and all our essays and posts up.
