The debate on “textbooks or computers” has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in the classroom? Should notebook computers take the place of textbooks?
With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers. However, despite (尽管) these advantages, I think textbooks must remain.
In my opinion, with textbooks, it is much easier for students to take notes.
Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families can afford textbooks, not all of them can afford a computer.
Computers are playing an important role in education. They allow students to learn more. However, I don’t think they can take textbooks’ place.
Do you agree with me?

【推荐2】Cathy Cluck teaches history at Westlake High School in Texas, the US. Because of COVID-19, Cathy had to find a new way of teaching.
“I teach American history,” she told a news reporter. “One day, I thought, What if I go to some historical places?”So in May, Cathy took a road trip called the Great American Road Trip. Each day, she met her students over the video chat and taught them online from a historical place. In this way, Cathy’s students learnt a lot about American history.
The trip was fun. However, it was full of difficulties, too. For example, Cathy planned to go to Boston. When she was in New York, she got the news: the situation of COVID-19 was severe in Boston. People in other cities couldn’t go into the city, so Cathy had to change the plan.
Cathy’s road trip took 15 days. “This is not a normal school year, ”she said. “I was trying to make it interesting for my student.” Cathy’s students enjoyed the way of learning. “I just love it” Julia Franco, one of Cathy’s students said. “The distance learning gave me a different feeling about the historical places. It made me very excited.”
Now Cathy and her students all come back to school. Since COVID-19 still goes on, they may return to distance teaching and learning.

| Online learning or classroom learning? | |
 By Selina | Keep in mind those school days of childhood when we did not want to get up early in the morning for school, but we had to anyway? It happens today as well. As for me, I have to waste almost one and a half hours getting ready and reaching to school every day. So I would like to take online lessons at home because I will have more time to study. |
 By Frank | Different from classroom learning, learning on the Internet isn’t limited (限制) by time and place. Students can take lessons whenever they have spare time. What’s more, it’s more convenient. The only thing the students need to do is clicking (点击) the window and they can take courses. |
 By Mike | Often, we have classmates who may not be confident enough to ask questions or say out their own doubts among the students in the classroom. With online-learning courses, they won’t be troubled by such a problem. Besides, some apps provide us more different kinds of courses that we might not have in a traditional classroom. |
 By Jessica | I prefer to study in traditional classrooms. I find it easy for me to be distracted (分心) to have classes online. I can’t help doing something that has nothing to do with my lessons. But attending a real lesson in a classroom environment can force me to be more concentrated (集中注意力) and pay more attention to what teachers are saying. What’s more, I can get face-to-face support from my classmates and teachers, which helps me solve my doubts in class better. |
