DOES THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND

COMPUTERS AFFECT LEARNING

Globally https://www.irishtimes.com
In some countries, adding one teacher
computer per classroom had more than 10
times the impact on improving educational
performance of adding a student computer to
that same classroom.
Giving school students access to iPads,
laptops or e-books in the classroom appears
to hurt their learning, new research has
found. However, putting this technology in the
hands of a teacher is associated with more
positive results. As there was a survey
conducted in Canada and USA about who gets
the better result in their exam, the one who
use digital technology in their studies or the
one who don’t use their technology. The
result was that the students who use digital
technology in their studies got worse result
then the one who would not use technology.
European leaders claim that 10% student get
good result by using digital technology. These
results, however, evaluate only hardware, not
software, and only describe the impact of
education technology as currently
implemented. Nevertheless, the report says
European leaders should not assume the
impact of technology will always be positive
or even neutral.
