The document discusses technology as both a boon and bane. It notes the benefits of technology in connecting people over long distances, enhancing education through multimedia, and allowing people to watch global events. However, it also discusses downsides like learners uncritically accepting online information, using technology for pornography or idle entertainment, and overusing cell phones to the detriment of classroom focus. The document concludes that technology should be integrated into education to promote interactive, creative, and team-based learning rather than replacing the teacher or student experience.

1. Technology:
Boon or Bane?

2. Technology is a boon:
 Technology is a blessing for a man.
With technology, there is a lot that
we can do which we could not do
then.
 With cell phones, web cams you will
be closer to someone miles and
miles a way.
Many human lives saved because of
speedy notifications via cell phones.

3. Your teaching and learning can be
more novel, stimulating, exciting
engaging with the use of
multimedia in the classroom.
With TV, you van watch events as
they happen all over the globe.

4. In Education, Technology is a
Bane when:
The learner is made to accept the
Gospel truth information they get
from the Internet.
The learner surfs the internet for
pornography.
The learner has un crucial images
floating on televisions and
computers that represents
modernity and progress.

5.  The TV makes the learner a mere
spectator not an active participant
in drama life.
The learners get glued to the
computer-assisted instruction
unmindful of the world as so fails to
develop the ability to refuse to
others.

6. We make use the internet to do
character assassination of people
whom we hardly like.
Because of our cell phones we
used most of our time in the
classroom or in our working place

viewing as a strategy to kill time.

7. “Technology is made for
man and not man for
technology.”
“Technology is made for
the teacher and not the
teacher for technology.”

8. The integration of technology in the
instructional process must be geared towards:
Interactive and meaningful learning

critical thinking
