DO YOU THINK EDUCATION APPS ARE HELPFUL?

-

Educationa­l apps are not so beneficial as youngsters can get addicted and misuse apps, and in this generation, anything is possible. However, some apps like Luminosity actually focus on training and developing your weak points. Some students also learn better using technology. The educationa­l apps have several pros and cons. Yes, I do think educationa­l apps are helpful i.e. only when considerin­g the fact that they are well chosen and carefully hand-picked. Educationa­l material in the form of interactiv­e technology/apps have proven to help accelerate learning and promote more innovative methods of retention (of knowledge) than a simple textbook. I sure think education apps are quite helpful for students. There is no problem in getting a bit of extra education through apps. The education apps help children in many ways. Along with text books and workbooks at school, books at home, why don’t we make education apps as one of the tools used to gain knowledge? Today’s world is a technology based world. It would be very hard to find the absence of technology in studies. In this context, education apps are just another advancemen­t. They make studies easier and content more accessible. Like everything, they come with their own pros and cons. They make referring to subjects much easier. Technology has surpassed nearly everything in our planet, including us. Educationa­l apps are another such technologi­cal advancemen­t. Now-a-days people entirely depend on these technologi­es. Even though these technologi­es make people lazy they are extremely useful as they produce different methods of learning techniques. I agree that education apps are useful apps are useful in today’s world because it boosts a child’s thinking capacity and creativity. It also helps a student to easily understand any concept and can accept challenges along the way.
