Technology Cons
The use of computers in the classroom can create distraction especially when students use them for personal reasons while the teacher is teaching. The only way teachers can control this bad behavior, is by setting rules on when and what to use computers for while in the classroom, failure to comply with the terms, students will stand a great risk of losing their computers.
Just like I mentioned in the topics above, the computer can not teach students how to write a correct essay or sentence. Computers do not teach punctuations, paragraphs, and verbs or nouns. A computer can auto correct a wrong word and it can also do some essential basics in writing, but the best job must be done with the paper and pen. Teachers can easily read through students notes and correct them.
Computers are expensive, so not every school or student will get a chance to have a computer of their own in the classroom. In most schools, students will have to share one computer per a group 5-8 people. Unless when governments change their policies towards education and use tax payers money to buy equipments needed in the classroom, our students will still share these tools. It is only children from wealthy families who can go to private schools which can provide these facilities to each student.
Most of the information published online is not correct. Since most publishers do this for money, they will write about any thing for the purpose of getting massive traffic from search engines and make more money. A publisher will have a list of keywords most searched for online, and they will just write what they know, no one will review this data, but a student will use this information thinking its all bullet proof. Most students have failed exams because they use this type of data from internet.
Classroom technology, especially laptops for individual student use, must be replaced every two to three years. Tech staff is required for a school with technology in the classroom. The more computers the school uses, the more people will be needed to keep the technology running.
