Presentation of the topic

The topic of the two texts included in your assignment is the use of technology in schools. The technological advancements of the last 20 years or so have led to new approaches to teaching and schooling. More and more schools are now equipped with various digital devices—smart whiteboards, laptops, etc.—that are used as teaching tools. The use of computers and other digital devices in classrooms is said to help the teachers connect with the younger generation, to make the lessons more interactive, and to offer students more accurate information. However, there are also voices which claim that computers and other digital devices cannot and should not replace quality teaching.
