Persuasive Speech About Computer Provision
Computer Access Speech
Here at Connections, we offer computers to those who aren't fortunate enough to have one, and even offer a subsidy to pay for internet access if it's needed. Giving these forms of access benefits students by allowing them to worry less about their resources and focus on their work. I believe this step could benefit students at other schools by allowing them greater access to resources they may not have otherwise. Some students aren't able to afford the things they need such as clothes or food, so how would they be able to afford a computer? Access to the internet would be of great benefit to students for projects and assignments, as well as communication with other students for group work or writing up documents.
According to the infographic of the web design site GO-Gulf.com, 30% of the world's population is an online population. This online population globally spends about 16 hours a month online on average. The same population spends 60% of its time online between searches, reading content, and communication. With this much information transfer and communication, a student could benefit from having access to such a broad informational flow. Providing a computer to students for the year could greatly expand their reach in terms of sources for projects, ideas for assignments, and even study help. That isn't to say there couldn't be downsides to providing this kind of equipment. There is the potential for misuse of time on the computer, and the cost of providing one for each student could be very expensive.
In the case of abusing computer time, computers that are stationed in classrooms and computer labs already have a form of filtering in them. It wouldn't be difficult to input the same system on a personal computer given to the student. If the student feels a site is being inappropriately blocked, they could show it to a teacher and be allowed access if appropriate. Others still will argue the cost of providing and maintaining
