Technology has developed so much that it is now applicable to almost every part of our life. It is used not only in factories but also education.With the development of computer and easy access to internet it became easier to apply technology to education.But whether a technological class or the one which is quite traditional is better is controversial.There are both advantages and disadvantages of both classes.The subjects taught are the same but the method is different.Both of them cover a time period and need an instructor. But activities and evaluation is different.Moreover how much students understands and apply to real life differs.
Technological class and non technological class both teach the same subject, there is no extra information or more valuable information given in a technological class.Students learn the same events in history or write the same essays in a technological class as others do. Usually subjects are given in same detail and with the same examples.There is no difference between this two classes on behalf of subjects and information given.
Moreover both classes cover a precise time period and need an instructor.Students in a traditional class go to a school and remain there for a particular time and other students maybe not going a school but they also have to attend lessons online.And both of them need an instructor. A teacher in a traditional class maybe the one who is giving instruction but in technological class he is the one who guides them.
Although there are differences between these classes.Firstly activities done in a technological class differ from the others. In a technological class students can write an essay on a word document but in a traditional class students have to write on papers with pens which is very boring and time consuming. It would be better type it because when you make a mistake you can easily correct it and it is easier to read. Moreover in a technological class students can get many illustrations which can help them to understand the subject better.And also they have the chance to apply what they have learned to life. With movies or living examples they learn how to solve problems in daily life with what they have learned.
Also there are differences between evaluation of these two methods.In a technological class teacher may give a project or want them to make a presentation which is not only easier but also more enjoyable and instructive.That kind of evaluation would be good for both teachers and students.Because students have a broad time and can make a good project and while doing that it helps her to develop her creativity. Teacher also find it much more easier to evaluate. But in a non technological class teacher have to make written exams and students have to write what they know in a short time. That cause students to memorize everything to have only high grades nothing else.Also it is a boring job for teachers to mark hundreds of parer. That is to say in a non technological class both students and teachers do everything in futile, none of them benefit exactly.
To sum up both educational systems have similarities and differences. But the technological one is much more better. We can not say that a non technological class is bad but the other is being much more common and students benefit much from it. No matter what is method education itself is a must.

Hi Münevver, I think your thesis statement is well formed. You support technological classes. you gave that kind of examples to support your idea but in conclusion part I think you should support your idea more strongly.
