Currently, there is a big debate among people who are within the educational field, there are contrasting opinions about the effects of the modern technology on children education. Some teachers believe that children are negatively affected by technology because it takes most of their lifetime, other teachers, instead, think that the modern technology offers the possibility to use new and more effective methods of teaching. Personally, I believe that the internet gives the opportunity to develop new skills and new methods of both teaching and learning, therefore I do not consider that educating children is a more difficult task today than it was in the past. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explain in the following essay.
First of all, since now children spend most of their time using smartphones and the internet, teachers must educate their students how is the right use of them. The internet is the broadest basin of knowledge that humans have never had, therefore, teachers can use it to teach children things that were not possible in the past. For example, during a history class, they can use books as basic reference, but they can enrich their lesson showing online videos about the specific historical event or find different opinions about what is being taught, in this way they can stimulate a discussion about it, and consequently make their lessons more compelling and interesting.
Secondly, books are very expensive and take a lot of space; the use of tablets at school gives the opportunity to have all the material in one device. This is lead to lighter the children backpack and avoid all the problems related to the wrong posture, which often the students suffer. My own experience I a compelling example of this, when I was at primary school, I remember that every school day I had to bring at least 4 books and all the other school stuff, such as pencil case, diary, and notebooks. The second year in school, I had a serious problem with my back, and the doctor said that I had to avoid to carry heavy weights, so my parents had to carry my backpack until my school changed policy and decide to buy tablets. From that moment, we could use tablets at home for homework and leave the heavy paper books in the classroom, from that moment I could go to school by bus as my schoolmates and I felt very confident and keen to use both paper and digital book.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that as long as children are supervised and educated at the right use of techs, such as smartphones, the internet, and social networking websites, they are very powerful teaching instruments. Modern technology can enrich the lessons and give access at the biggest source of knowledge, this was not possible in the past where the only way to learn was through paper books, therefore, in my opinion, nowadays educate children is easier than it was in the past.

---------------------
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
