Technlgy can allw students t learn in mre interesting ways .It can help teachers explain difficult ideas. It can als help students wh have special needs.
Hwever, a recent reprt frm UNESCO (United Natins Educatinal, Scientific, and Cultural Organizatin) 4 that using mre technlgy in classes may nt help as much as many peple believe. The reprt suggests that technlgy shuld be used 5 in schls, and it als advises that smart phnes shuld be kept away 6 classrms.
The gal f the new reprt was t imprve hw technlgy is used in educatin. The reprt says that technlgy can be 7 , but it shuldn't be the imprtant pint. Instead, technlgy shuld be used t supprt learning.“T much 8 n technlgy in educatin usually cmes at a high cst,” the reprt says.
Over the last 20 years, technlgy has been 9 mre and mre in schls. These days, it's cmmn fr students t use cmputers r tablets. In many places, it's nrmal fr students t 10 infrmatin n the Internet rather than using bks.
UNESCO says technlgy can be very distracting (分散注意力的). When students use phnes in class, it can get 11 f their learning. One study was carried ut in 14 cuntries and it shwed that even just having a smart phne nearby can be distracting.And it als says that technlgy changes s fast 12 it's hard t study hw it really affects students. Smetimes, simple tech slutins like radi r TV can have an even bigger 13 than high-tech devices(设备).Even s，UNESCO says that less than 25% f the wrld's cuntries ban phnes in schls.
“Just like anything else,technlgy is a duble edged swrd(双刃剑). We need t teach children t live 14 with 14 withut technlgy,”said the directr behind the UNESCO reprt.
The reprt suggests the best way t learn is still t wrk 15 with teachers at schl.Wrking with classmates als helps students learn.UNESCO says that mst schls shuld spend mre mney n things like bks, classrms, and teachers.
