Concept A
Technology is a great help to students for their learning process. It provides opportunity to
make learning more interesting, enjoyable and effective. Teacher can present pictures and videos that
will help the students learn the lessons better. The effectiveness of technology to students have been
visible for many years, especially at this current time wherein technology continuously modernizes
our society. Faster way of access to information at least for some students. It is effective in a way that
education have become also the platform for technology to be used. Researches, lessons, modules,
and different information have been condensed digitally which implies that there are more spaces
provided and such not too much overwhelming for the students to handle at once. In a different
perspective regarding this concept, it is also observable that such technology which is deemed as the
tool to ease the educational process for the students is the one ironically, hindering their focus to the
basic principle of focus and studying their assigned lessons. Social media, games and other kinds of
entertainment offered by technology tend to separate the attention of learners from the real world.
Relying on technology can be a negative breed of technology in the learning process, because the
point is almost is anything already accessible within the internet and impedes the students to think
critically at times.
Concept B
I am not favour of replacing the teachers with technology, technology can help the students
learning process but it cannot replace the role of the teachers in education. There are still things that
technology cannot provide but only teachers can do. Technology can be very powerful indeed in
education - it can allow all types of learners to learn and get better - but ONLY if there is a human
along the way to guide, mentor, correct, check.Replacing teachers with technology is like denying the
fact that these individuals are one of the key movers who have established the society through time.
Technology may be, faster, does not feel fatigue at times has more capacity to store data, however,
technology also lacks the capacity to teach students the basic ethics and principles and values that a
learner must possess. Having lack of emotion means that one cannot connect to be able to interact
with one another which is one of the most exciting part why the educational process is worth it. We
can have progress even if sometimes we are held back by mental capacity, what matters is that we
strive hard to make education a field of fun learning.
Concept C
Concept about the limitations of using technology in teaching Not only does technology bring
positive things to education, it also has a negative impact so it is only necessary to limit the use of
technology in a student's learning. Excessive use and misuse of technology can cause harm to
learners. As most of the people and experts say, using technology in teaching is a more effective way
of teaching, however, it has such limitations as to how the technology is being used. The capacity to
operate such technology is also a limitation. Like human beings there can also be errors committed
when using technology as a tool for teaching, malfunctions per se. Specifically in this time of
pandemic, the access to technology can be one of the problem, because even if we say, that an
educator can afford access to such technology, it can be a different case for the learners especially
that some of learners doesn’t have the same financial capacity Majority of the usage which involves
technology in teaching, at least occur in the platform being driven in an online set-up. Thus, it requires
a stable internet connection to be able to teach with ease or participate in class discussions.
Synchronous classes for example, is disadvantageous due to the fact that the classroom environment
that we have been used to have been changed drastically. Having technology as a tool to teach is a
good step to modernize the sector of education, however, it does not mean that teachers must rely
and use this excuse not to indulge in meaningful classroom discussions, where questions are asked
and both learners and educators can learn something from each other,
