Many of positive effects
of integrating technology or internet in the education field such as save time
by using the computer to complete work rather than spending time writing out
work and drawing diagrams, teachers can use the technology to keep student records,
plan lessons and communicate with parents, makes learning more fun for students
and suits a variety of different learning styles, In special needs classrooms,
each student is able to go at his or her own pace with the help of technology,
schools can secure grants to help pay for technology in the classroom. There
are still a lot of benefits from technology and internet for the application in
education field or in the classroom. But, every positive effect also has the
negative effects. Below are the negative effects from integrating technology
into education:
- Takes away learning time, it means if the students are
not able to operate the computer or technology or internet, the teacher
will guide them until they are able to operate it. This will be waste many
times of learning process. Besides that, if the teacher have some problem
to connect the laptop to the LCD or the technology and the internet
connection are not work properly, it will also waste many times of learning
process.
- Overuse, it means that technology and internet act as
the supplement for classroom curriculum, therefore, technology and
internet cannot be used at the whole time during learning process.
- Using
technology in general is expensive. Schools with minimal technology
resources can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Classroom
technology, especially laptops for individual student use, must be
replaced every two to three years. Besides that, 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.
- Finding the right materials online to integrate into a
lesson is not always easy. This means teachers may spend a lot more time
planning lessons and become overwhelmed and frustrated.
- Technical Difficulties. A common problem in classrooms
is the failure of technology due to technical difficulties. While
equipment is being repaired, students experience delays in their learning.
This counteracts the time-saving benefits of technology. To prevent
learning loss due to these difficulties, teachers must be prepared with
other resources and task assignments.
- A Distraction in the Classroom. The opportunity to access social network sites and games can tempt students away from planned learning activities. Such distractions can hamper their overall progress and their potential to succeed. It is important that teachers monitor the use of games and social network sites to ensure that students remain on task and complete assignments.
That are the negative impact for education especially in learning process in the classroom. That is why we as teacher must be wise and care to our students and the sites that they can access when integrate or use technology during our learning process.
