The Convenience of Education by Cassandra

The Convenience of Education by Cassandra - February 2018 Scholarship Essay

Technology is always advancing. At the same time, so is education. Larger industries are always introducing the newest and latest piece of everyday technology to make a citizens life more convenient, and there are always new curriculum's for levels of education that are meant to work more effectively than the last. Technology has already been adopted as a way to further teaching. These ways, for many schools, have already been proven to be very useful and convenient, and will only get more advanced over time.

With technology so easy to access for most people in our new age, it is not surprising that so many teachers or school administrators use it as a form of communication, research and resources. They created student accounts; the perfect way of connecting with students in ways that are convenient for them also. It gives them a method to apply education directly into their lives, through the cellular device from those big industries, which are always in their hands.

With all this at a student’s fingertips, by the year 2038 how could we not have a system of education that did not basically rely on technology? Student accounts will be very important for the future. Students can email instructors, and often get very quick replies since that email could send a notification to their instructor’s phone announcing that they need help. They could go on their school account to see any new updates or assignments that the teacher might have recently posted about. It gives them a way to succeed easier, and takes a larger load of work off of the teachers.

Any announcement an instructor has, any question a student has, and any assignment that needs to be accessed can all be done through a student account. Being able to see classwork anywhere a phone can access the internet gives students many opportunities to get it done. Having an online database that teachers can use to look at instead of shuffling through hundreds of papers gives them undeniable convenience. By 2038, Student accounts will be a necessity for every educational curriculum; there are too many pros to the application for it not to be. It will advance education in a positive way.
