Read the article. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap. There is one extra sentence. Technology    in    the    classroom    Technology    plays    a    large    part    in    the    lives    of    most    students    today.      ………………………    Handwritten    essays    are    also    becoming    a    thing    of    the    past.    Many    schools    equip    their    classrooms    with    computers    for    use    during    lessons,    and    students    are    expected    to    be    computer    literate    at    an    early    age.

• Unsurprisingly, this is causing a fair amount of controversy.

• More and more students have their own computers at home or even laptops, so that they can do online research for projects and assignments.

 ………………………    Therefore,    school    libraries    are    no    longer    as    necessary    as    they    once    were.    The    world    of    learning    is    changing    quickly    and    dramatically.    But    how    far    can    technology    go    in    education?    Will    teachers    still    be    necessary    in    10    or    20    years’    time?    Or    will    online    teaching    be    the    norm?    Now,    there’s    a    thought!

In    Denmark,    the    government    is    taking    the    use    of    computers    in    schools    one    step    further.    Computers    are    now    being    used    in    the    exam    room    itself.    ………………………    Using    computers    in    exams    is    not    completely    new    for    Danish    students.    They    have    been    able    to    type    up    their    exam    essays    on    computers    instead    of    writing    them    by    hand    for    several    years.

 However,    now,    under    a    new    scheme,    students    in    exams    are    allowed    complete    access    to    the    Internet.     ………………………    The    only    thing    they    cannot    do    is    communicate    with    anyone    else    online.    So,    no    emailing    or    messaging    while    in    the    exam    room.

Opponents    of    the    idea    point    out    that    it    is    very    difficult    to    ensure    that    all    the    computers    are    working    at    the    same    speed    –    or    even    working    at    all,    which    can    only    add    to    the    stress    for    exam    students.    Then    there    are    security    concerns,    with    some    people    suggesting    that    using    computers    like    this    in    exams    opens    the    door    to    cheating.    They    say    it    is    impossible    to    monitor    the    sites    the    students    visit    or    any    contact    they    may    make    with    friends    outside    the    exam    room    or    even    other    students    in    the    same    exam.    ………………………    They    point    out    that    exams    these    days    are    no    longer    about    remembering    facts    and    figures.    They    are    about    analysing    things.    Examination    questions    these    days    do    not    usually    ask    about    when,    who    or    what.    They    ask    why    and    how.    It’s    hard    to    cheat    using    the    Internet    on    questions    like    this.

Surely,    computers    are    such    an    important    part    of    the    learning    process    today    that    it    is    a    natural    step    to    use    them    in    exams?    Many    people    believe    that    it    is    only    right    that    students    should    be    tested    with    the    same    tools    that    they    use    to    learn.    For    those    worried    about    cheating,    it’s    important    to    remember    that    in    exams    the    students    are    under    a    lot    of    pressure    and    have    to    do    a    lot    of    things    in    a    very    short    time.    ………………………    Perhaps    computer    use    in    exams    will    become    standard    procedure    in    a    few    years’    time.    What    do    you    think?    We’d    love    to    hear    your    views.    Post    a    comment    on    our    website.
