Intro:Today, almost schools all over the world adopt learning with computers. In the early days of spread computers, when I was a elementary school student, I had a image that the computer will be used only for business and something difficult.
But computers is being the necessities of life, like a cell phone now. It seems that there are quite a few experienced user even less than high school age.
I think this tendency has both good point and bad point. Let's think about that.
Challenges:
Merit of LWC
>>1. To collect information for your study without text or dictionary
First, Bring some texts for classes, almost students feel "What a bother!" Especially a dictionary is burdensome. Also when you search for information, you have to collect some materials.
But that's a old trend a little. Searching, collecting materials, checking up..., now we could do all of them with only using computer!! It's really convenience. Besides, your baggage become light than before.
Actually, number of information which we get from materials are no match for computers. So a computer is just like a small library.
>>2. To finish your report faster than paper writing(easy to edit)
Next, a eraser is necessary to erase a word written by a pencil. If you want to move a sentence to other newer paragraph, you have to write again the same words after erased many words. And what is even worse, the paper can become dirty when you too erase again and again.
But using computers, you could do such trouble things by only a few click!! So computer is a edit master!!
>>3. To learn with enjoying
Third, there are many websites for studying on the Internet. They are not only formal website as TOEIC or TOEFL website, but just game's websites to train both your English skill and typing skill.
I often use such websites when I want to be carefree while studying. In short, I can do both studying and resting at once. It's so good for us. I think that it is the most typical point of LWC.
Demerit of LWC
>>1. Concern of failing our spell skill and Kanji skill
First, as spreading of LWC, it seems to concern failing spell skill and Kanji skill. If a word's spell was wrong, a computer helps us to correct it. Also if we can't remember Kanji, a computer easily change Hiragana we typed into Kanji. It's a convenient function. But it makes our handwriting skill decline.
>>2. Possibility that a important document may go away in an instant
Second, Only one click, computer works well to make a sentence correct better. However, sometimes it causes a emergency.
I have such a experience before. That is, I deleted all my report almost finished by mistake in an instant. After that, I was afraid of a "Black space" button for a short while.
In short, typing can quickly do both correct and delete. It's a big difference between typing and handwriting exactly.
>>3. When we compromise to keep studying, we tend to waste of time by net surfing.
Third, as I told above, we could easily get many various information with using computers. In the fact, some people tend to waste of the time by net surfing. Besides, we are often absorbed in it for a long time. It's the same as just like to read a magazine or to use your cell phone in middle of class. That's no good.
We should don't be long standing it when your free studying.
Useful applications:
>>Searching
I'll introduce two useful websites for searching. First, "Google" !! this is the most well-known searching website around the world. We can get any kind of information from here. http://www.google.co.jp/
Next, "Wikipedia"!! I consider it the greatest net-dictionary exactly. When I can't understand one word, always visit here to know it. I think everyone knows both of them, maybe. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メインページ
>>Study English
First, ALC!! All Eibei student train our English skill there. It's really useful for dairy study.
Next, Toeic and Toefl training website!! If you want to regularly use these site, you may have to pay the fees. But, luckily they are set up some trials free. A lot of students who hope to go to study abroad have used them.
Conclusion:
I tried to consider which way is better for today's students, writing or typing. I think it's necessary to use both.
First, the reason why, it is almost one of duty to use computer as a member of society today. As you always train the skill while youth, it will be very useful to get job.
Next, handwriting let brain works better than LWC. Because the hand movement is involved. So, handwriting is easy to remember what we write. Besides, automatic correct doesn't work in handwriting. So we have to remember and write the ward by ourselves.
Therefore, I think Learning with computers is necessary today as same as handwriting. I hope the following society won't be person who cannot write right spell, Kanji and so on.
