Technology For the Future by Nana-Yaa - January 2020 Scholarship Essay

Some people may say this generation is too reliant on technology, but I would say that there are many positives and negatives that come with the use of technology. One of the many positives is that the use of technology has enhanced my learning, and several other students’ learning in the classroom rather than traditional learning with no use of technology.

Technology, such as the use of tablets, mobile games, and videos have enhanced my learning because they make it more fun to learn, providing interactive methods of learning. I believe this has helped me retain information better and faster. I really enjoy playing Kahoot in my classes because it is a fun game to play, but I am also learning as well. It has also allowed me to really connect and relate what I am studying to society right now.

Another positive of the use of technology is that it keeps me interested in learning because I have technology with many options to learn from instead of just one option. I prefer using technology in class rather than not using it because it helps not only keeps me interested in learning, but also my classmates; allowing my teachers to have fun while teaching too.
