DISADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY IN CLASSROOM
- Distraction in the classroom: Students love to use technology in the classroom, but it tends to distract them, for example, the use of mobile phones to study in the classroom, distracts some students. Most of these smartphones have social applications like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest; students tend to use these social applications on their smartphones for entertainment purposes while in the classroom.
- It is expensive: Schools with small budgets can not afford to integrate technology into their classrooms. Also, parents with limited income can not afford to buy laptops or iPads for their children. So not every school or student will be in a position to use technology in the classroom. Then for schools which have managed to integrate technology into their classrooms, find trouble when it comes to maintaining these educational technologies.
- Requires Training: Both teachers and students need extra training on how to use various educational technologies, this can cost both time and money.

Well done Marlon. I always like to read posts about technology. In this case the use of technology in classroom can have positive and negative effects on students. Because of that the efectiveness on it depends on the teacher to carry out all the tasks. Your blog is well designed and structured with no spelling errors, and the multimedia resources on the posts are related to each topic. Good!
ResponderEliminarHey Dan! That was the objective to these posts. To grab students' attention and foster them to use technology in the learning process. Likewise, it is important to mention that if there are not rules using technology, they will lose the control of it. Thanks for your comment.
