Example 3 
During the past years an increase in computer numbers has been observed. More and 
more people are using computers on a daily basis, both at work as well as at home. 
Therefore some may argue that computers should be used when teaching children 
and they should be available in classrooms. 
On one hand, relying on computers and their programs for teaching methods may 
result in many benefits, for both teaching, as well as learning. Teaching may become 
much easier and efficient when using computers
,
for example different students may 
be undertaking different tasks depending on their learning rate. Moreover, it is also 
essential for people to become comfortable with using such devices from a young 
age, as they have to use them in the future at work and for other purposes. 
Furthermore, children could potentially benefit from such resources, by acquiring new 
skills and techniques. 
On the other hand however, introducing such electric devices into classrooms may 
also bring disadvantages. Since we are now living in a world where being 
surrounded
by technology is the norm, it is also important for young children to learn 
things that are not related to computers. For example, 
tackling
problems and trying to 
find solutions for them rather than googling the answer is a key skill to acquire. In 
addition to this, if teachers are depend
ent
on computers, or their programs, too much, 
then significant problems may arise
,
for instance the system shuts down.
