Technology in the Classroom.

 Nowadays, we live in a world or rather the internet age, where technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. As nowadays technology has spread a lot of  people have become famous and rich through internet and technology. Technology is using also in the classroom. Using technology in classroom it has some disadvantages. 

Firstly, using technology in classroom can be distracting. Students don't pay attention in the classroom. They get distracted by laptops or tablets when the program that they are using is not working for different reasons. The use of digital gadgets in school should be limited to make sure they are used to help students to learn and not to play games or staying in social media. Another thing is that technology make students less social. When students use technology they don't have to talk with others or with teacher. This makes students more unsociable with others and affect in their emotional growth. 

Secondly, integrating Technology in classrooms is often time consuming. Technology could make the job of the teachers very easy but teachers should be very prepared and trained  for using technology because technology ist not very easy to use. In addition, the use of technology prevents students from efficient learning. Nowadays students can find everything they need on internet by the click of few buttons. This means that they don't have to work for it anymore. Furthermore, cheating is another problem of technology. Using technology in classes has made more easy for students to cheat. Students copy information from online sources and putted as their own creations.

In conclusion, like everything has its goods and bad, these were bad of technology in classroom.Technology is slowly killing the real essence of Classrooms. It is  important that we limit the use of technology for young students and teach them to control their own usage when they grow up.

  1. Nice job Fjona! I like that you have mentioned the disadvantages of technology and how hard it is for students and teachers here to learn using technology in the classroom. All the other points that you have mentioned are right, although technology has a lot of advantages when it's used correctly by others and can open a lot of doors in the future.
