Hello, could you please check this text about education, thank you in advance!

Livi<font style="background-color: inherit;">ng in the Digital Age we are increasingly replacing traditional forms of communication with </font><strike><font style="background-color: inherit;">the</font></strike><font style="background-color: inherit;"> modern means, </font><strike><font style="background-color: inherit;">ever more</font></strike><font style="background-color: inherit;"> increasingly resorting to the Internet as the major instrument for the exchange of information;</font> be it chatting with friends or negotiating deals with foreign counterparts. Nowadays it is thought by some people that education needs to embrace this trend and <strike>even </strike>teaching basic skills like reading would be better delivered via the Internet rather than books. There are arguments on both sides of the debate which I shall outline in this essay.

Firstly, using online materials might be as<font style="background-color: inherit;"> efficient as printed if designed by pedagogical experts. But in addition to this, there are many advantages that computer technologies have over traditional means of teaching. By incorporating the Internet into the learning process, it becomes possible to make lessons less teacher-led, so pupils will not need to wait for an explanation (to a question/problem), but could learn on their own in obtaining knowledge. Another point to consider is that by using a computer to learn to read , it could make lessons more entertaining  helping children assimilate information faster. Indeed, playing sounds that correspond to certain letters or pronouncing words which could be shown on a screen, may be useful features which in this case  printed material may not do as well.</font>

On the other hand, we have already raised a generation who are glued to smartphone and laptop screens,  unaware of other alternative information resources other than a computer-aided education. There is fear in encouraging children from a fairly young age to use the Internet,  resulting in children not being able to properly concentrate as they are too used to being constantly entertained even when learning.

In conclusion, it appears that the idea of teaching children to read via online courses wins on points, however, the potential danger that innovation might pose to children’s mind should not be underestimated.
