Technology In Schools - Yes Or No?


LI Having a point of view and constructing an argument.
LI Structure of an argument.
This week for writing Mr Ogilvies group's had to write an argument on whether or not we wanted technology in schools, this whole thing was completely hypothetical. I decided to make mine against having technology in schools, even though I was using technology to write and record my argument.
I did this by thinking about all of the bad things that technology can do to students while they're in school and  also by using FlipGrid to record.
This is my argument: (If you can't hear me properly)

In the olden days people used blackboards and textbooks, they could practise their handwriting any time they wanted to. Because of that fact they had very good handwriting and also they learnt how make their words join together. Now that there are technological systems that you can just press a button to write a letter on, the handwriting of the newest generation won’t be nearly as good as the former unless they practise their handwriting. Another thing about technological systems being in schools is the fact that the students may use them for the wrong reasons during their learning time, and there’s another problem too. When the students grow older and suddenly their power and internet cuts out it’ll be like the end of the world for them, the reason for this is because they’d be so used to using their technology. So in my opinion there shouldn’t be technology in school. I’m not saying that technology is really bad and that you shouldn’t use it because if an accident happens then someone could just call emergency services using a phone and that might save the life of the person.
