CHAPTER 5 PRETEST
TASK: ESSAY TIME
Using 500 words, discussed the advantages and
disadvantages of using strategies, methods and techniques
in Educational Technology. Justify the advantages and
disadvantages you think according to your own opinion and
stand.

Modern technology is mostly seen as a blessing for

learners. The widespread use of mobile devices and the
internet have made learning easier. These are the
advantages of using strategies methods and techniques in
Educational Technology. First, the internet can provide
you with information in any field. No matter what you
need to know, or even a students you can easily find that
online.it is very is to search and find for the answer
because everything now is on the internet.Besides students
can use the internet without the assistance of their teachers
or parents. Also, not only having an internet as a source of
educatianal learning but also learning with technology is
much more interesting. They use these tools,and learning
becomes very interesting. If they do not enjoy something,
they can learn it in a host of ways. With images, graphics,
and videos, lessons can be delivered in more interesting
ways.That is how educational technology is very
important now especially we are now on 21st century in
which many differents gadgets and technology were made
and continue using it.This technology would help us not
just to work but also to learn using it and appying it in
ouelves. Because it helps alot of people to make their lives
more easier and convinient.

While the disadvantage of using strategies method in

educational technology first are; Making the students
become lazy. Why? It because they can only rely on the
internet together with their phones or gadgets. It is easy
for them to search and copy paste the answer. But I swesar
it happens in a real life.
Also due to the availability of all types of information
online, many students are now becoming lazy. They no
longer want to study the hard way. Some students even do
not attend classes, mistakenly thinking that everything can
be found online. They think that teachers are no longer
necessary. And what
Most problems that students may face is browsing
websites that are not related to their studies, and thus, they
waste a lot of time. Digital devices create distractions, and
students find it hard to focus on what really matters to
them. Those mobile devices, computers, and other
technologies are usually seen as tools of entertainment, not
of education. Textbooks are known as just tools for
learning. This is the teaching of consumerism, and it has a
negative effect on students.

There we must know our limitations using technology. It

is very essential those echnology in our lives. Without it,
how can we improved? Is our lives will become better and
more convinient? It only tells us that technology has a big
influencer in every human being. It is only depends on us
on how can we use it in a proper ways.
