ARE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS MAKING STUDENTS LAZY?
Word processing programs makes life convinient for students for instance when writing essays. These programs help in fixing spellings, grammar and sometimes puntuation, automatically format documents and helps in correct referencing but it does not write the essays fo the students because the students still have to research and formulate their ideas into a body of text. Word processing programs do not make students lazy but rather more productive because not much time is spent on learning spellings or punctuation because these programs assist in the task. On the other hand some educators believe that these programs make students lazy in that they do not put any effort for they know word processing programs will do everything for them from sums to correcting spellings, grammar and formating docments automatically. As a student myself l believe word processing programs do not make us lazy but makes us more productive.

ReplyDeleteyah i agree with you my brother munashe MS word makes us the students to be a little crazy and it does not do us good at the sleeping thing. most of the students do not know how to write spellings but if you look at their hand outs the spellings will be supper. thanks to MS WORD.
