I disagree with this motion because I think technology does help students because when your in class and you have your work on a link of a website like edutronic no matter what device you have got or that is provided to you you can get on to your work.
The 2 main reasons why people may disagree with me are because on your phone or laptop you can mess around with them and the other point is that if you delete the folder then you can’t go on it and you lose your work.
Another strong point is without technology I wouldn’t be able to read the motion and any person who doesn’t have a bit of technology are living in the dark ages most stuff in this world are based on technology so if students can’t and don’t use them in the class there’s no point having them
People may disagree with them because you can mess around with technological things like a book and if you lose that book then you lose that book forever if you delete a folder you can go on recently deleted and get the folder back. Billions of people use technology today if you don’t ten you are not up to scratch with the 21st century world. Do you have kids do they have phones ? If they do how would you like it if you brought a phone for your child and he couldn’t use it for educational needs how would you feel ?
Technology, technology is a really useful source for work plus you can save your work on a usb and even if you lose your usb it is still there teachers use their usbs to teach and to hold all of their stuff on a usb if it wasn’t for usbs teachers won’t be able to do what they do now.
These are nine reasons why technology is useful for students.
Technology is everywhere,and in almost every part of our lives. It affects how we shop, socialize, connect, play and most importantly learn. With their great and increasing presence in our lives it only makes sense to have mobile technology in the classroom. Yet there are some schools that are delaying the future of using technology in the classroom as the valuable learning tool it is.
1. If used correctly, will help prepare students for their future careers, which will also include the use of wireless technology.
2. Introducing technology into the classroom is definitely a great way to reach your targets in learning.
3. It gives students the chance to interact with their classmates more by encouraging them to talk with each other more often.
4.Technology helps the teachers prepare students for the real world. As our country becomes increasingly more futeristic it becomes even more necessary that to be successful people, students must learn to be.
5. Technology in education everyday helps students stay engaged. Today’s students love technology so they are sure to be interested in learning if they can use the things they love.
6. With technology, the classroom is a happier place. Students are excited about being able to use technology and therefore are more easy to learn.
7. When mobile technology is available in the classroom, students are able to access the most up to date to information quicker and easier than ever before.
8. Students become more responsible. Technology helps students take more control over their own learning. They learn how to make their own decisions and actually think for themselves.
9. Student can have access to digital textbooks that are constantly updated and often more vivid, helpful, creative, and a lot cheaper than those old heavy books.
If your school is still debating using the latest technology, I hate to break it to you, but it’s the inevitable future of education anyways. It is important that school wireless networks keep up with the ever changing technology in order to keep up with our students. From the ease of communicating with their teachers via e-mail, to quickly accessing an overabundance of information online about a particular topic they have learned about in class, technology is needed in today’s classroom.

This makes some good arguments, Billy.
I’d encourage you now to look at developing some stronger devices to convince people of your view. How about starting with provocative statement like “People who think technology doesn’t help students are living in the dark ages.” Then I would encourage you to interrogate the brochure. Is it hand-written? Was it produced on a computer? If so, then you could challenge them about their own use of medium. Are they saying they want to keep the benefits and power of technology to themselves and not allow students to have access to it?
You could argue down the people who say technology distracts by saying that this is something young people have to learn (how to avoid distraction online) – and what better way to learn than from experience?

Excellent use of counter argument here Billy.
Develop this with a personal anecdote that will refute what this argument stands for and defeat it.
