Advancement in technology is making changes in the eduational system, in some countries schools are swaping traditional way of homework to the online work, students can perform the given task using digtal devices without bounding themselves to the specific time. I believe balanced approach would perform well, where they can practice on the notebook along with online assesments.
Firstly, digital assesments would make students confident by spending specific time on task. They would be much aware of technology, how to use it, along with some important skills that includes skimming, scanning. Moreover, these self paced learning modules would encourage the student to perform their task on their own without any supervision. For instance, In school videos are shared with students to watch and then answer the passage as their homework. Students have to watch that whole video to answer the questions, this will help students stay focused also, it will increase their attention span.
However, it can leads to several disadvantages, if students have an access of digital devices, they spend less time on the task and then they would shift towards the entertainment platforms, playing games, watching movies, and wasting their time. Additionally, watching shorts on the digital devices can reduce their interest in class.They can act frustated For example; research shows that kids who watch koko melon acted so aggressive, their behavior changed. So, for students it have demerites aswell, they don’t show interest in studies due to excessive use of digital devices. In my prespective, digotal devices are given to the students with restrictions on internet usage. Parents should set the specific time for their childern in which they can watch or use digital devices.
In conclusion, i would say that balanced approach is the best one, schools should focus on academic learning including factors that can improve the handwritting along with technology for better understanding.
