The Use Of Laptop In Learning Essay

Using laptop in the course of learning is essential for me. However, on reading the article Why a Leading Professor of New Media Just Banned Technology Use in Class by Valerie Strauss, I have changed my attitude toward using laptop in the classroom. To put it more precisely, I have decided to limit the use of my laptop in the course of lectures as much as possible to avoid related pitfalls.

In fact, now I am going to use my laptop just to make key notes in the course of the lecture focusing on the points, which I need to retain in my memory and which I want to emphasize after the lecture is over. At the same time, I am not going to use my laptop for any other reason any more during my lectures, although in the past I often slipped to using my laptop to reading the information I wanted to read at the moment, whether it was related to the topic of the lecture or not. However, the article helped me to realize the full extent to which overuse of laptops as well as other devices deteriorates the effectiveness of lectures for me. At any rate, just like any other person I may be not good at multitasking. Multitasking emerges, when I am starting to use my laptop and trying to listen to the lecturer. Therefore, if I misuse or use my laptop excessively, I can barely follow the lecturer.

Thus, I have decided to limit the use of my laptop as much as possible to maximize the effectiveness of the perception of lectures.
