  The rubric: you have had a class discussion about the Internet as a homework tool. Your teacher has now asked you to write an essay presenting the arguments for and against it
  
  In our modern, hi-tech society and with 24-hour access to the Internet, it’s no surprise that children are using homework-help websites more and more. However, there are arguments for and against using the Internet as a homework tool.
  There is no doubt that using the Internet as a homework tool has its advantages. First of all, it is a quick way to find information. This means that students have more free time for other activities. Secondly, the Internet provides a variety of sources. For example, students can read lots of information and form their own opinions by comparing and contrasting ideas.
  However, there are drawbacks to using the Internet as a homework tool. One drawback is that students don’t use their writing skills. For example, they just copy the information which is not always well-written. Another disadvantage is that some websites not only contain poorly written material, but also inaccurate information. As a result, some students may include a lot of facts in their work which are incorrect.
  All in all, I think that the use of the Internet as a homework tool is a welcome and useful development. Unfortunately, though, it is not free from risks and we must bear those risks in mind if we want students to get the most from the Internet.
