Advantages and disadvantages of technology in classrooms


Advantages and disadvantages of technology in classrooms


Having technology in classrooms will make writing neater and simpler on smart boards rather than whiteboards. The students will no longer make up excuses for why they don't have their homework because it will be on their laptops, they also won't lose documents since it will all be on their computers. There are multiple fun activities you can do with technology in your class so that students won't get bored. By using technology, you're saving trees by not using paper. Technology will also help enhance their focus and improve their mentality. Smart boards can make it easier for teachers. They don't have to run out of marker ink nor use the eraser to wipe the whole board clean. To write again is a waste of time, they can just use videos or save the text the first time they write it.



The disadvantages of having technology in your classroom are that students can easily just ignore the teachers and do as they please with their technology. Students enjoy youtube while you're teaching. Teachers have to depend on nothing but the technology to save all their documents. However, they won't be able to give a proper lesson if they keep depending on technology. Students won't be able to focus.


People won't always have their technology, there will come a time where we only have papers and pens, we can't keep depending on Google and Wikipedia our whole life. However while we still have it let's enjoy it and use it to help out students have an enjoyable time studying.

  2. I have enjoyed reading some of the points, but there is a complex point because you put the introduction with an advantages paragraph. Anyway, there is a very important point is that “ not to use paper and save trees”. However, in my opinion some of the students can write quickly in a paper, so they will not waste time to type in technology. Therefore, the paper is important for students, and they can’t be without paper.

    1. I appreciate you're honest opinion and agree too after reading your remark i feel like we do live in a world where papers need to be used but i feel like we should try to lessen the use so we won't ruin our eco system because what would we all do if all the trees were gone because we were too greedy with our papers.

  3. -I agree with you in this point that students will be busy with their phones and they'll ignore the teacher, because whenever they feel bored from the teacher's exiplination they will just use their phones to do something interesting.

    1. True, but the teachers can't always be fun sometimes it has to be boring but kids need to focus either ways and since we are learning to be teachers i am slightly understanding their point of view and yours too , thank you.
