What is the best age to introduce your children into technology?

I think that the best age in which children have to start learning about technology is when they are in seven years old because as children are in seven years old, they get things easily, and it can be useful for them at school, as well. In many schools students start school at this age; therefore, it will be easier for them to get information and do homework assignments that teachers ask them to do. There are some cases in which the families of some students are very humble, and they do not know how to write or even to help their kids to do homework assignments. So in this case to learn about computers will be a big advantage for these students because if the parents can not write and can not help them, they can look for other sources.

Although I can say that it has its disadvantages because as we know in internet we can find many things that can not be great for kids to see. So in this case parents have to be careful and see what theirs sons are doing and see what they can see and what they can not see. So although parents can not use this  tool, parents have to do with this. It is parents’ responsibility to do this.

 So at this age will be great to help our children to learn how to use computers because as we know there are some things that we can not be found in a book. Another important thing is that you save time when you look information in a computer so we must say that it is the opposite when using books because it takes time or you have to read a lot in other to answer one simple thing that can be found in a minute.

Another good thing that I can find by using this at the age of seven years old is that students have more time to get fun and be with their family because as I said, you can do your homework assignments in a faster way. So it would help children to get fun and enjoy of their age as I did it when I was a kid.

So I must say that it will be the best age for learning this interesting tool that has facilitated many peoples` life, and it will be one of the best options that public schools can do with students. To have computers at schools will make students to make their jobs easily.

Good and bad things on presential and online classes

As time goes on, we can see that everything is changing when talking about education. Technology may cause one of those changes because now we can see that technology facilitates our life. We find whatever we want, and we just copy and paste, and in the past people had to waste a lot of time reading books. I must say that studying online is a good option especially for those people who work and do not have time to go to schools. I think that study online is a good option because you have more time to do your staffs, and you do not have problems with transportation, as well. There are many people that do not study because of the transportation to the universities or schools; therefore, it could be a good option for those people.

Now, let see the bad things of studying on line. I think that studying online is kind of difficult because you do not have anyone who can help you to understand better or at least to explain you the things that you do not understand; therefore, it could be frustrated. Another bad thing is that you do not have anyone with whom to practice speaking skills, and it could affect you a lot. As we know when learning a language you need to interact with other people and practice as much as you can.

But if we go to schools, we know that it is totally different because you can talk with the teacher if you have any doubt about one specific thing, or you can even ask many interesting things during the class. You can participate and interact with other people and practice the language, as well. You can also make presentations and show how much you have learned. To be face to face with teachers is the best thing that we can do as students because it helps us to understand better, and we learn still more.

As everything, it has its disadvantages because we sometimes go to school, but the teacher misses, so you have to come back home, and we waste time and money, and it is not fair. Another thing is that sometimes teachers do not know how to give directions, and we do not understand what she/he explains, and it comes to be stressful for us because you do not get what the teacher told you to do.  So I must say that both situations have their advantages and disadvantages, but in my case I would choose to go to school because teachers facilitate our learning and help us in any doubt that we have when learning something.
