The perfect age to introduce technology to students

Nowadays technology has became in something really necessary in or world since the the adult people to the elderly people, but children are getting more involved day by day because they are getting borned in a completely technological environment; in the past was believed that just adult people could learn something new about technology or that just them would use it, but now children understand and learn even better through tecnology. In some cases we can say that introducing technology to our students is better if we do it since their first years, but we have to be very careful because we can be doing something bad instead of good because children may go in another way and use technology not in the way we want, there is a complete world that children can discover through technology, but as we have a good world we also have a bad one and we have to be very careful to protect them of that and to guide them through we right path in technology; the teacher plays a very important role because he has to check and supervise in the process of using technology. I strongly believe that there is not an exact perfect age to introduce technology to students, but the sooner you start the better will be because students will learn more and in a better way because there are many advantages about using technology because many years ago, particularly before the Internet was invented, people has to go to libraries or buy books just to have the information they need in making book reports, projects, researches, theses, and other related academic papers. For mothers, they have to buy recipe books just to learn cooking new recipes. Fathers have to buy newspapers just to get updated about the latest news. Business people have to buy business magazines just to get updates about economic growth. Fashion savvy people have to buy fashion and lifestyle magazines just to get updated about fashion trends. All these are costly and consume time and effort. Today, all these are eliminated as information is easily accessed through the Internet. It is also important to say that through the use of technology he help our environment because a school is an institution that can be found in every state or country. With this, one could only imagine how many billion sheets of paper are consumed yearly. Apart from it being costly, it also contributes in the faster depletion of the forests. That is why with tablet computers and smartphones, the need to print more books is lessened. Actually, there are now schools that use especially designed computers for their classrooms and libraries. This also lessens the need to reproduce information in black and white. So as a conclusion I can say that the best age in which as teachers we can introduce technology to our students is the one in which they need it and and also the one in which they find that useful; besides that technology would always help students in many aspects, so as I said before the sooner you introduce technology to your students, the better performance they will have in education.

  1. Well, i like your point of view, and i agree with you when you say that there is not age, but as you said, we have to be careful and see what kids are learning because sometimes kids do not do what you ask them to do, and they can go for something else that ca not be good for them to learn. something also important is that is the person who will help kids to learn. I think that this person has to be very humble because we never know what could happen They are some people that do not teach what they have to.
    so it will be great is you learn how to use computer since you are a Little kid because it will help them in the future to do homeworks assignments and it will also to help them to get good grades at schhol because they will get good information that sometimes cannot be found in books and maybe you fid them but you have to waste time on looking for essential information, for the correct book and you also have to write.
