Computers in the classroom Some people believe that children are becoming far too dependent on computers. I believe it’s true for some children, but it doesn’t mean that we should avoid using computers in the classrooms. It goes without saying that students have to master basic study skills and practice writing as well, but using videos, pictures, audio and interactive programs makes classes more interesting. Computers as teaching aids are proved to be useful by many teachers all over the world, so why don’t we show children that studying may be funny? I believe that a lot of students don’t like boring classes and have problems with concentration, but if you show them 5 minute cartoon before the class and discuss it afterwards it may be useful as an engaging part of the class, especially if the video content is related to the topic. What else can we do using the computers? Anything! You are only limited by your imagination. Interactive games, tests and stories which are moved by clicking on the screen will entice children to check them out; colorful design and catchy plot will make students study without them even knowing. So is it so necessary to avoid every computer-related activity during the class? In my opinion the answer would be no. Computer and tablets have too many advantages we can benefit from, they should not be neglected. Nevertheless, teachers can use variety of other methods and activities to teach students, if it is needed. For example, teachers can assign homework exercises for handwriting and spelling practice. To sum it up, I want to say that every achievement of technology should be used wisely, otherwise it can harm, so teachers should try to strike a happy medium while using computers, but avoiding computers at all will not make us any good.
