I think personally, technology is a curse because it makes it really hard for me to focus. But on the other hand it is a blessing because it makes studies easier.

BLESSING. THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WE HAVE TODAY MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO WORK ON ASSIGNMENTS MORE EFFICIENTLY AT HOME AND ALTHOUGH IT TAKES US OFF TASK SOMETIMES (ALL THE TIME, CONSTANTLY) IT'S WORTH IT

A blessing, we’ve been able to advance in the amount of knowledge we have because technology allows us to communicate fast and efficiently.

A blessing because the advance technology allows for extended education and easier communication.

It depends what you are educating about technology can’t be completely reliable but it is extremely convenient. When learning about natural science though it is more important to go out into the field and learn.

Curse, the older way of learning and taking notes still works in the modern day. Yes it uses a fair amount of paper but using computers powered by electricity on a mass scale can be just as bad for the environment.

I believe technology is more of a blessing than a curse. It’s given us the ability to have a whole world of information at our fingertips. It’s made common knowledge more readily available and more approachable than ever before.

Technology has been a blessing towards education if used correctly, it has allowed us to further our knowledge and figure new things out. I personally use my phone almost daily in order to help me with my homework I will admit though, sometimes it can be hard not to get distracted while using it.

It depends on the situation. Technology can be more of a curse because it can distract students and take away from the old-fashioned way of always using paper and pencils. On the other hand, technology can be an educational blessing because it allows less paper to be used and also, in this day and age, technology is just a fact of life that we really can't live without.

It's both. It's a blessing because it lets us use less paper and things can be turned in easily and it's harder to lose things. It's also a curse because people don't know how to communicate without technology and some can't put down the technology and it's a problem.

My friend's dad was telling my parents about a school he teaches at. It's a private Catholic school and sounded rather new. Apparently they don't use technology at all. They even ordered special stop watches so they wouldn't have to use a phone timer. And all the kids have to drop their phones off at the front office.
I was rather surprised that they completely eliminated all technology. And it does have some benefits, but technology isn't the only thing distracting. I often get distracted doodling when I have paper and pencil.
In this culture technology is very important and prominent. Many careers use advanced technology and it is important to know how to use those properly. If students don't use technology, what they learn becomes limited. Additionally, technology allows for quick and long distance communication.
The bottom line is, technology is beneficial. Even so, we need to take some breaks from it and experience the real world.

I think technology is a blessing because it allows for a broader, deeper, and more individualized educational experience.

I think it’s a blessing and a curse. Blessing because then we are able to access different resources and be able to leave less of a paper footprint which is great. And we are able to also do this kind of stuff like do google classrooms and answer forums. It’s a curse because people are so reliant on technology that people don’t know how to do book and paper research a lot of the time in this generation and younger as well

For me it depends on the class. Technology makes studying easier and it makes it easier to have a ton of information at your hands. But sometimes it is a curse because you have so much information on your hands teachers make you teach yourself. I think of it more as a blessing because I like to learn though.

tech is good in samples, we can use it to send facts across the world but it can also be distracting and over whelming. to much simulation at once can really stress your brain. but you also have the benefit of paperless classes and teachers can communicate with students outside of class.

I think it makes studying a million times easier and efficient but it is really distracting. there are more people procrastinating today than there were before phones were in everyone’s hand. Being born into this technology makes it really hard to see myself without it, especially when it comes to using it for school work.

I think technology is a blessing when it comes to education because it allows you to communicate and learn in ways that you couldn’t otherwise. You can watch videos if you’re a visual learner and you can connect with other teachers and students for help on homework or research.
