THE GREAT DEBATE

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING TECHNOLOGY IN

EDUCATION
OVERVIEW
Traditional face-to-face classes have served as an effective method of
learning and teaching for the longest time. It has produced visible and
satisfactory results and hasn’t been questioned until the world faced a
common enemy, the CoVid-19 pandemic that stopped everyone from
attending the traditional in-person classes.
That situation proved that technology could be sufficient and deliver the
same, if not better, results in the learning process. Technology clearly
impacts education in various ways. The question is…”How does
technology impact students’ learning?”
PROMPT 1
Smartphones have a bad reputation in classrooms and there
have been strong cases for banning them in schools. Research
suggests that during class time, when smartphones 42% of
the time that students spent on their smartphones in the
classroom, it was to text, tweet, or otherwise engage in social
media rather than the lesson.
PROMPT 2
Students can use technology to connect with people in their classrooms
and around the world. Learning how to collaborate on projects using
digital tools prepares students for almost any career.
PROMPT 3
Choosing the right technology to incorporate into the classroom can be
challenging. However, defining your learning objectives can assist you
in determining which tools will be most beneficial.
