Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: With the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In today’s world, students are able to get adequate knowledge and information quickly because of the advancements in technology. Uses of computers and other electronics devices at schools have allowed pupils to learn promptly. So, it is agreed that technology has ease the way students learn nowadays. Both the availability of online resources as well as uses of technology in classrooms will show this.

Firstly, students gather data quickly using internet facilities. Meaning that, there are several websites that provide information regarding the course materials. Take W3Schools as an example. This website is basically for the students who have problems regarding their subjects. But, it was impossible before where all the information were searched in the book which consume extra times and efforts. Therefore it is clear that technology provides various benefits for the pupils learning.

If I had to write an essay about this topic, I would write it in this way:

Technology inside classrooms:
Teachers use modern technology to assist them in their teaching activities. For example, teachers can use a projector to play PPTs or videos. In this way, students can learn more efficiently.

Technology outside classrooms:
Students can use online resources to help them learn more knowledge.
For example:
1. Using a search engine,just in a few seconds students could solve a mathematical puzzle which might take a student several weeks to search and research in a school library.
2. wikipedia is something we can talk about.
3. Online courses/videos could be another thing worth mentioning. Personally, I learn English from some Youtube videos posted by Ryan!
4. We also got this fantastic online forum through which we can help each other. We can discuss and argue with a guy who live in another country, which we could not even imagine 20 years ago.

There are really a lot to talk about.......
