Effects of Technology on Education
12/11/2011
Abstract
Technology is used in classrooms today and has both positive and negative effects on both students
and teachers. I want to show in my paper how technology is not a substitute for a good teacher.
Technology must be well implanted by a good teacher to be successful. Computers do not give
successful teaching. I start out by discussing the positive effects on teachers and students, in my
paper. I then debate the use of technology and its effects on traditional teaching methods. Lastly, I
concluded with negative impacts technology has on the teachers and the students. By doing this, I
will show while technology is important it is only a tool to educating students....show more content...
Technology can take away from the creativity in both the teachers and the students according to
Cheng et al. (2011). Technology does the "thinking" for both the students and the teacher. Teachers
that are not well trained in using technology in the classroom actually take away from teaching time.
Not knowing how to use technology properly takes away from valuable teaching time in the
classroom. This is another downfall of using technology in the classroom. Proper training, planning
and a good balance is essential to implementing technology in the classroom (Jamil et al., 2011).
Technology does not work for every student. Online schools in particular do not work for all
students; it sets most of them up for failure. Many students need that direct instruction from teachers.
They do not have the self–discipline or the learning style (specifically kinetic) that is needed to
succeed in online learning. Since technology is only a tool and content knowledge alone is not
enough to transform education, great teachers must be able to call on repertoire of methods and
reformed pedagogy" (Cheng & Swanson, 2011 p. 18). Many students need that direct
instruction from a teacher. Students also need social interaction, adult supervision, and
self–discipline. Students do not get these needed skills and values from technology,
