Good morning everyone present here. Distinguished guests, learned jury, and my dear fellow students, I stand here to expatiate on ' Technology in the classroom has become inevitable in today's day and age.' I am going to speak for the motion.
Technology has become ubiquitous owing to its versatility.
What is it that you can't do with technology? It is the god of the modern era!
Naturally the field of education has also been influenced positively by use of
technology. It has made the learning in classrooms much more convenient,
easier, simpler, colouful, fun-filled, and efficient. Expert teachers teach
students using smart boards and interactive whiteboards. Computers have enabled
both students and teachers process learning data many times faster than was
possible in a traditional classroom.
The computers store the teaching and learning data systematically which can be
so easily accessed by anyone wanting it. Internet has further facilitated
sharing of knowledge available abundantly on all the subjects. School websites
now provide all the educational information required by parents and students.
Aspiring students can look up the internet for any information and knowledge
they require while studying or doing assignments. So computers have really made
education quite romantic. There is a modern Renaissance in education owing to
computers.
As the saying goes, ‘Coming events cast their shadows before.’ We can envision what kind of our future education will be! It will be all technology based. They have already come into being. Internet will be the main medium of imparting and receiving education. There are already online courses available. Admission, teaching, assignments, attendance, testing, evaluation, results, etc, everything connected to education will be online.
There are already e-libraries existent! I can't say whether there will be android teachers or not; but computers who will teach will definitely be there. Of course, human teachers or facilitators will always be there to supervise. Students won't have to go to real schools. They will just get hooked to their school programmes through their laptops, tabs, or palmtops! If you look at the transformation, you can see its nascent signs already existing. School websites, teachers and students user ids issued by schools; smart classes, etc, all are signs of the coming change.
