Scientists have been doing research on what are the methods that have influence on learning.One of answers to that question is that what kind of materials teachers use or how teachers teach.Some teachers use technology and technological materials, some use more simple techniques like pen and paper.But there are main differences on using time,creativity and influence of visuality between using technology and using only pen and paper.
First of all,using technology during lessons is a way of using time effectively.When we use technology during lessons,we most probably do our works earlier than usual.We don't spend our whole time by only teaching or learning.We can have time to enjoy when using technology.We can do our homeworks that take us so long time much earlier and quicker.Because information and sources in books are limited.We may not find everything in book.We may have to search in other books,encyclopedias. This means to spend much time.But it's so probable to find everything via technology in earlier time.And rest of time is for us.
Secondly,technology helps us about creativity.Students and teachers using only pen and paper during classes don't go beyond what a book gives to them.So this may make them limited and may not be a helpful way in terms of creativity.They thinks only on the information in book. But when we use technology, we can get so unlimited information ans sources.This means that the more information we get, the more answers we find to our questions.So thanks to lots of sources we can come up with different and creative ideas.We can find creative ways, formulas to our questions.Because various sources can atake us to beyond our limits.
Thirdly,nobody can deny the influence of visuality on learning.There is an expression one of my teachers always says to us and I like very much : " If I read,I understand.If I write,I learn.If I experience ,I don't forget." When we use only pen and paper,we understand and learn.But it doesn't guarantee us not to forget.Because visulity in books is limite.We can not find many pictures or visual materials about our subject. We can not draw subject in our mind thoroughly.But when we use technology,we can find so many images related to subject we learn or teach.We can prepare slides to help us to teach and learn.Visuality has the biggest portion on learning.People don't forget things or information they see ,in other words, they experience.
In conclusion,using technology has more advantages than using only pen and paper about effective teaching and learning.So we had better try to use technology as much as possible during lectures.

hi merve,
YanıtlaSilFirst of all I want to say that we have the same opinions about the usage of technology in class. I agree with you that technology is really necessary in lessons. It makes lessons more useful. Also I can say that your thesis statement is very clear and your body paragraphs support it. Briefly I like your essay very much:)
