USING ELECTRONIC BOOK IN SCHOOLS

 

What is your choice tablet or book? There will always be an argument whether electronic book is useful for students or not. This argument will not end because some people think of bad features of the electronic book while some people think of good feature of using the electronic book. We are in the technology era. As our social life and daily life are affected by technological developments, our education system is affected by technological developments. As we have seen, we started to use electronic books last year in schools. There are three major benefits of using electronic book in schools: it is a useful device for permanent and easy learning, it is very functional device, and it is a portable device.

The first benefit of using the tablet is that it provides students permanent and easy learning. While we are using book, we are also taking notes at some important points and we miss some points, so we cannot understand what the teacher tells us. For example, our teacher has a slide. We do not have to take notes as we can take it in a digital format with the tablet. It is so useful device for students who are tired of writing and typing during lectures and presentations. Because tablet provides us the opportunity of recording lecture and with these records, we can review our lesson at home at any time. It is not only a book but also a notebook. We can take notes by using pen and paper in tablets, circle, highlights, and underline especially important points. Another point is that it is proven that 60 percent of students learn best and easily with visual-spatial presentations. It is a high rate. Tablets offer students the opportunity of using a lot of materials like graphs, charts, images, and videos. As a result, tablets offer students much more materials to provide an effective learning.

The second benefit of using the tablet is that it is very functional device. We can take record our lectures, we can form our own videos related to our lessons with it. These functions contribute our learning on a large scale. Tablet not only contributes our learning but also provide communicating with people since it is designed to contact with the internet. We can easily connect to the social media sites, talk with our family and friends, research any subject, and read or watch the latest news. Tablet provides students to access the information easily and fast. Thanks to its internet connection, students can make search in any subject for their lesson and look up in any word which they do not know or they wonder. Tablets have a large memory and we can store a lot of information on a tablet. We can store movies and novels inside it, so we can read novel or we can watch movie whenever we want.

The third benefit of using the tablet is that it is a portable device. We can bring it where we go, so we can study lesson where we are in a classroom, at the library, at home, or at bus station. This feature of tablet makes it the more preferred product and makes it more common in society. Before tablet, students are carrying the heavy bags and they are very tired. Tablet has all lesson sources inside it. As it is a portable tool, it provides learning easily whenever we want and wherever we are. For example, while we are travelling, we can study lesson, listen videos from it, or read a book easily and comfortably not like a book. It is also comfortable to use everywhere. We can use it with one hand easily. That it is a portable device makes longer the learning process, so it should be used in schools.

To sum up, as we have seen, we can learn information from books by reading, taking notes, or seeing from pictures but tablet offers us a lot of ways to learn. We can learn from tablets writing, reading, watching, listening and tablets support the learning with materials such as graphs and charts. So, tablets called electronic books should be used in schools as they make our learning more permanent and easy, they have a lot of functions, and they are used and taken anywhere and anytime easily.

Argumentative Essay 1

SHOULD THE TUITION BE FREE IN UNIVERSITY EDUCATION?

Education is one of the most important factors not only for countries’ development but also people’s development as the purpose of education is to provide both countries’ needs and requirements and people’s needs and requirements. These days, it has been an argument among people that while people find money to give courses, why do not they find money to give their tuition? It is an incorrect thought and university education should be tuition free since it is an obstacle for some people to go to university, it is against to the equality of opportunity in education, and it reduces the time students distinguish to the education and themselves in some ways.

The tuition is an obstacle in front of both students and families. Some people do not go to the university because of their financial situation and some factors like tuition, eating and sheltering expenses lead to some people not to go to the university. Somehow people provide their sheltering and eating expenses but tuition is really a big problem for students. When we compare with other countries, our education level is so low and it is not correct for our country to receive money for education. Because the development of one country economically and socially becomes with education. Our economy needs to educated people and there are no enough educated people. People who do not go to university generally have a limited social life. As education provides people’s development and countries’ development in all respects, it should not be an obstacle in front of them.

The tuition is against to the equality of opportunity in education. Students pay different amount of money according to which department they are studying. While going anyone to the university is an asset both for individuals and for society as a whole, it is wrong to be paid money to the government for education as it is useful for government future. The tuition which students pay does not provide the training costs of government and it only creates financial problems for students. While tuition is even low, students and families have difficulties to pay it. While students have troubles to pay, raising the tuition is not correct. While students are struggling with intensive lesson tempo, they are thinking about tuition on the top of it. This makes their level of success lower and it also makes the society’s level of success lower. For the survival of society, it is necessary for individuals to make an effort. While individuals make an effort for society, the government should support them instead of receiving money for education. So, university education should be tuition free.

It decreases student’s time which was dedicated to the education and themselves in some ways. Some students are working to pay the tuition. As a result of work, they do not find time to study or they are being tired. So, they fail in their exams. They have much more responsibilities than other students who do not work. They have to go to the school, they have to work, and they have to study lesson. They have a routine life between work and school. Because of work, they do not concentrate on their lessons and it creates problems with their lessons. So they fail in their exams. As a result, the level of success decreases and it is a loss both for individual and society. Another point is that generally the students from poor families have to study to pay the tuition. While it is expected from our government to support these students, our government is expecting the tuition from them. Education is so important thing for one country’s development and our country’s education level is so lower than most countries. The reason of this situation is that university education is so expensive in our country. So, university education should be tuition free and our government should offer a qualified education which is in the same level and conditions.

To sum up, the tuition should not be in universities as it is a barrier for students to go the university, it does not provide the equality of opportunities to all citizens in education, and it lessens the time which students dedicate to the education and and themselves.
