اگرچه به نظر می رسد نوآوری هایی مانند ویدئو، رایانه و اینترنت روش های بهتری را برای آموزش دانش آموزان به مدارس ارائه می دهد، اما این فناوری ها اغلب، یادگیری واقعی را منحرف می کنند.

موافق
- هر تکنولوژی مثل تلویزیون، ویدئو یا اینترنت می‌تواند هم جنبه مثبت و هم جنبه منفی در آموزش داشته باشد. اگر آموزگاران و معلمین نقش منفعلانه در کلاس داشته باشند و به جای این که از تکنولوژی هایی مثل ویدئو یا اینترنت به عنوان یکی از ابزارهای کمکی استفاده کنند و آنها را جایگزین نقش خودشان در کلاس کنند، ممکن است دانش آموزان در یادگیری دروس دچار مشکل شوند.
- استفاده از اینترنت و تماشای ویدئو و سایر تکنولوژی های امروزی، باید هدفمند در آموزش مورد استفاده قرار گیرد. اگر دانش آموزان فقط برای سرگرمی از این تکنولوژی های به روز استفاده کنند، بدون اینکه در آنها هدفی از یادگیری و آموزش دنبال شود، در بلند مدت به ضرر آنها تمام خواهد شد.
- این معلمین هستند که باید تصمیم بگیرند، کدام نوع تکنولوژی برای تدریس و آموزش شان مناسب است. در حقیقت، برای تمام دروس نمی توان از پخش ویدئو استفاده کرد بلکه معلم باید از روش های مخصوص خود برای آموزش دروس به دانش آموزان استفاده کند و از ویدئو یا اینترنت فقط به عنوان ابزارهای کمک آموزشی می توان استفاده کرد.
- تماشای ویدئو یا استفاده از اینترنت برای یادگیری دروس می‌تواند حواس بچه‌ها را پرت کند. به خصوص اگر معلمین یا والدین، نظارتی بر کار آنها نداشته باشند چون بچه ها می توانند به راحتی در دنیای وسیع اینترنت به دنبال هر نوع سرگرمی یا بازی که خودشان دوست دارند، بگردند. بنابراین، رفتار آنها حین آموزش با اینترنت یا ویدئو، باید کنترل شود در غیراینصورت، ممکن است آنها به جای اینکه به یادگیری دروس شان از طریق این تکنولوژی بپردازند، از آن برای اهداف دیگری مثل بازی کردن استفاده کنند.
مخالف
- در حال حاضر تکنولوژی‌هایی مثل اینترنت یا پخش ویدئو و تصاویر به یکی از ابزارهای کمک آموزشی ضروری برای یادگیری بهتر دانش آموزان تبدیل شده است و می‌بینیم که مدارس کم کم به سمت هوشمند شدن پیش می روند. بنابراین باید دانش‌آموزان نیز با فرهنگ استفاده از این تکنولوژی ها آشنا شوند و از آنها بهترین استفاده را ببرند. در این میان، معلمین می‌توانند نقشه راهنما را برای آنها ایفا کنند.
- بسیاری از مطالبی که پیش از این و قبل از ابداع اینترنت مجبور بودیم با چندین ساعت جستجو در کتاب های مختلف به آن دست پیدا کنیم، الان با یک سرچ ساده در گوگل در دسترس دانش‌آموزان و دانشجویان قرار دارد. به این ترتیب آنها می توانند به راحتی به اطلاعات گسترده‌ای دسترسی داشته باشند که آنها را در آموزش و یادگیری بهتر دروسشان کمک می‌کند و از طرفی در وقت آنها نیز صرفه جویی خواهد کرد.
- استفاده از تکنولوژی های مختلف به معلمین کمک می کند که راحت تر و سریع تر مطالب آموزشی را به دانش آموزان منتقل کنند. در حال حاضر برنامه ها و اپلیکیشن های مخصوصی برای تدریس و آموزش طراحی شده که تقریبا برای تمام رشته های تحصیلی کاربرد دارد.
- در برخی از دروس مثل آموزش زبان های خارجی استفاده از تکنولوژی های صوتی و تصویری کمک شایانی به بهبود شیوه تدریس و آموزش به دانش‌آموزان و زبان آموزان می کند. آنها در حدی می توانند به چندین ویدئویی که به زبان خارجی در آموزش صحبت می کند گوش بدهند نرم افزارهای متعددی نیز طراحی شده که زبان آموزان می توانند صدای خودشان را با آن تطبیق بدهند و تلفظشان را تصحیح کنند بنابراین تکنولوژی نه تنها موجب حواس پرتی آن نمی شود بلکه به ارتقا یادگیری آنها نیز کمک خواهد کرد.
- پیشرفت تکنولوژی و استفاده از روشهای نصب ویدئو کنفرانس از طریق اینترنت موجب شده که آموزش از راه دور و به صورت مجازی نیز امکان پذیر شود. این روش های نوین آموزشی هم در هزینه ها صرفه جویی خواهند کرد و هم در شرایط خاصی مثل دوران کرونا می‌توانند برای آموزش بهتر مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.
Strategies
Restate the Issue:
Begin by restating the issue. Make the dependent clause the main clause of the sentence. Rearranging the clauses changes the focus and the connotation of each clause.
In other words:
Although technology all too often distracts from real learning, innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students.
Determine the question being answered by the statement.
What effect has technology had on teaching and learning?
The question may start you thinking about the way that you would answer it. Your own position may be taking shape. The question should help develop alternate points of view. The original issue statement is only one way to answer the question.
Now think about parts of the original issue statement that provide evidence you can affirm or refute.
a) innovations – The root word, nova, means new. Innovations don't remain innovative for long. At one time, cars, telephones, television, and typewriters were innovative.
b) seem – Seem is not a definitive word. It's not an absolute.
c) to offer – One does not have to accept an offer. An offer implies choice.
d) improved – This implies better, that what came before was not as good in some way.
e) distract – This is the opposite of attract. Distract means to lead away from, while attract means to lead toward.
f) real learning – Real is the opposite of artificial or fake. Is any learning artificial or fake?
Opposing viewpoint:
Innovations such as video, computer, and the Internet offer schools improved methods for instructing students and promote real learning.
Identify the parts of the opposing statement that provide evidence to refute or affirm.
a) promote – Promote means to move forward. Technology helps learning to move forward. You may create a statement that qualifies the original or opposing viewpoint.
Alternative viewpoint:
Innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet have the potential to either offer schools improved methods for instructing students or to distract from real learning.
Identify the parts of the alternative viewpoint that provide evidence to refute or affirm.
a) potential – The root of potential is potent, which means having power. Technology has the power to offer school improved methods for instructing students, or it has the power to distract from real learning.
Position:
With appropriate training, teachers and students can use technology such as videos, computers, and the Internet to enhance teaching and learning.
Examples:
a) Record keeping – teachers can use web–based grade books to keep track of assignments and student progress. Schools can allow students and parents, access to those grade books, placing responsibility for completing assignments and awareness of problems on the student and parents.
b) Communication – Schools and/or individual teachers can create web sites to communicate with students by placing assignments, special directions, etc. on the Internet. Teachers and/or schools can communicate with students and parents via email.
c) Google docs – web–based application that allows students to create office documents such as slide presentations, spread sheets and compositions. This allows students to submit assignments without printing them; students can collaborate with each other or their teachers; and teachers can leave comments.
d) Research – multiple students can research the same topic simultaneously without worrying about books already checked out of the library. Teachers can use anti plagiarism programs.
Sample 1:
In the early part of the twentieth century, people thought the car was a fad; they would never replace the trusty, hard–working horse. In the middle of the twentieth century, people thought television was a fad; it would never replace the radio. In the mid 1980's, people thought VCR's and video tapes were a fad; they would never replace the experience of going to the movies. Now we can drive in our cars and watch movies at the same time. Virtually everything that makes life more convenient will stay. We must accept that technology in the form of computers and the Internet are permanently entrenched in society.
What is the impact on teaching and learning? Teaching and learning have always been book and paper intensive. Teachers in every discipline assigned books to their students and used paper to keep track of which student had which book. Students used paper to complete assignments associated with those books and handed them in to their teachers, who carried those papers home to grade them. This process was repeated all over the country by millions of students and teachers every day for 36 –40 weeks a year. Technology has the potential to allow students to complete a variety of work and submit it online.
Most notable of these applications is Google docs where students can set up a free account and create writing pieces, spreadsheets, and slide presentations. Alternatively, they can upload those same documents from their home computers. Students share their work with their teachers who can insert comments, highlight elements, and assign grades. In fact, a student and teacher can work simultaneously on an assignment while "chatting" in a side bar. Another benefit of Google docs is the feature that saves a student's work instantaneously and keeps it on the Web. This application enhances the educational process through its accessibility and immediacy. When teachers can provide rapid feedback, students benefit.
Technology is s double–edged sword when it comes to research projects. On one side, information on any topic is available at the click of a mouse. On the other side is the temptation for students to cut and paste information directly from sources. There have always been students who plagiarize. Technology can make it easier, but it also is easier for teachers to uncover it using programs designed for that purpose or simply using Google's search function. Thanks to the Internet, gone are the days of creating Works Cited or References pages by hand and agonizing over alphabetizing and citing correctly. There are both free and subscription services that can do that for students. When students and teachers can focus on what the child has to say and how he says it, real learning happens.
The introduction of tablets is already revolutionizing learning. It is likely that future students will not be carrying backpacks crammed with book and binders. Rather, they will glide from class to class carrying slim computer onto which they have downloaded their textbooks, and with which they will complete their classwork. As the accouterments of education become easier to manage, there can be a clearer focus on leveraging these new technologies to better educate students. Therefore, while technology has the potential to distract students from learning if used poorly, its true potential lies in its ability to streamline classroom work and homework, giving students more time to learn about topics that may not have been covered otherwise.
Sample 2:
Innovations are the greatest strength of mankind as they make us think more and thus create. Innovations of any kind have always been helpful to mankind. The huge amount of credit for our development goes to innovations that the humans have made in all stages. Innovations of all kinds are proofs that humans have been progressing. The metamorphosis of a human from a prehistoric cave man to today’s modern man is all because of innovations. Innovations in all fields are helpful and useful for us and education is one such field where innovations like video, computers and the internet have proved to be of remarkable importance. I believe that these all means of education in schools have revolutionized the whole education system. I also recommend that all the schools which are not able to make use of these innovations in their education techniques must use them for their numerous benefits.
Children are the future of any country and education plays an indispensable role in making them responsible citizens of a country. The teachers in all education institutes try their level best to educate children. The students in school can be taught a great deal with the use of videos. If the service of an experienced teacher is unavailable in a school then recorded lectures can be helpful to the students. In the same way with the use of this innovation children can be shown the facts which were earlier told to them verbally. This way the students will retain more knowledge.
Similarly with the use of slide shows through computers the students can be told numerous facts in a lecture which otherwise would require a couple of lectures of the teachers. This way the teacher would be able to impart more knowledge to the students. Computers are also helpful to students as they can learn and write more promptly and accurately in lesser time.
The use of internet has large benefits for the education system. The large number of schools across the world can share their education through the use of internet. vast knowledge on all the subjects is available on the net which can be beneficial for the students. Distant education has become accessible through internet. Learning to use internet helps a student in long run when the student goes to a workplace.
There are numerous benefits which innovations provide us with. The help in school education is one of the benefits derived from it. I believe that an innovation empowers people to do what they desire to do. It helps people in becoming more efficient, creative and productive. It also helps students to learn things which they could not learn before.
Although these innovations have been very beneficial for our education system but the medium of video, computer and internet lack the personal touch which only a teacher can personally give to a student. The relation of a teacher and student is divine which is lost in innovative methods of learning.
Thus innovation in the field of education should be used to help the teachers in giving education to the students but it can certainly not take the place of a teacher.
