It is irrefutable that teaching methods play a great deal of role in a child’s ability to learn. Some people are of the opinion that online via medium should be adopted to make kids learn. Others, however, hold the view that conventional printed media should be used. In the following paragraphs, I shall discuss both sides of the argument. I, personally side with the former view.
Firstly, online reading material is a convenient and easy way to access the plethora of information. Sources such as Google, Wikipedia, YouTube enable kids to learn anything and from anywhere, as long as they have access to the internet. It also facilitates teachers to tailor their studying methods based on the capabilities of the students. For example, if a child wants to learn Spanish as a second language, he/ she can easily learn from different websites.
Secondly, encouraging the usage of digital means for reading will also save a lot of paper. This is not only a cheaper option than books, but also will help us to save the environment as a lot of trees are cut to make paper. For instance, there are certain books on specific subjects which are either very expensive or rare.
Conversely, the excessive exposure to the digital world hampers the eyesight and puts a lot of stress on the brain. In addition to this, it also distracts students by shifting their focus from studying to online gaming, music etc. For instance, in a survey conducted by a school teacher, 89% of the students agree to assimilate and comprehend effectively with a printed material.
Summing up, learning is inevitable in every learning process. In order to maximize the learning experience with online methods we should focus on its controlled usage to eliminate health hazards.
