Fast development of modern technologies such as computer, cell phone and tablets bring many
advantages in human life. Almost every sector such as work, entertainments and education are
now depending on technology. In educational sector. For example, there is a policy to use tablets to
replace textbooks. This policy makes a major debate among society. Some people agree that tablets
will make tecahing-learning process better but some other thinks not.
Among those who agree, tablets bring some benefits. First, tablets help students learn more
material faster. Technology based instruction can reduce the time students take to reach a learning
objective by 30-80%, according to the US Department of Education and studies by the National
Training and Simulation Association. Second, tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks on one device,
plus homework, quizzes and other files,eliminating the need for physical storage of books and
classroom materials. The average tablet contains anywhere from 8 to 64 gigabytes (GB) of storage
space. Third, tablets contain many technological features that cannot be found in print textbooks.
Tablets give users the ability to highlight and edit text and write notes without ruining a textbook
for the next user. Tablets have a search function, a backlighting option to read in low light, and a
built-in dictionary. Interactive diagrams, games and videos increase students creativity, motivation,
attentiveness and engagement with classroom activities.
In other hand, people who disagree with the use of tablets point out several reasons. First, handheld
technological devices including tablets are associated with a range of health problems. Handhelds
contribute to computer Vision Syndrome, which causes eyestrain, headache, blurred vision and dry
eyes, according to the American Optometric Association. Second, using tablets is more epensive
than using print textbooks. School will require purchasing hardware (the tablet) and software (the
textbooks), building new wi-fi infrastructure and training teachers and administrators how to use the
technology. A broken tablet also requires an experienced technician to fix, which can be costly and
time-consuming. Plus, tablets constantly need charging, increasing electricity demands on schools
and the need for new electrical outlets. Third, tablets have too many distractions for classroom use.
Students may pay attention to apps, email, games and websites instead of their teachers. Tablets
also enable students to cheat on shoolwork. Students can easily avoid reading and analyzing texts
on their own because they can quickly look up passages in an e-textbook and search for answers on
the internet.
