Technologies affect the student`s learning in many ways. For example, you can get info about any topic, about any field just simply put the name in the search engine and you'll get thousands of links related to that topic. You can get online education from anywhere around the world. The search for a topic on internet takes only a few seconds instead of books where you have to search a lot many books to get the idea about a small topic and it takes hours to do so. It`s because of technology that you can solve difficult questions in a few seconds, it`s because of technologies that students can access millions of books from digital libraries.
Negative points may be that the 'over' use of technology makes kids lazy, in the way they use language, which may show in class work, exams, etc.In some classrooms technology is overused. This can lead to a variety of problems. Many students learn best by physically and mentally interacting with what they are studying. If most of the teaching is done using a computer, these students' needs are not being met. Technology should be used to supplement the classroom curriculum, but should not be used as the sole source of learning. Also,If the teacher and students are not experienced with technology in the classroom, valuable time is often wasted on technical troubles.
So, we should try to use technology in proper ways in our classes.
I start from where you finished Maria: we have to beware of how we use technology in our classes. Overuse is devastating, I believe. Besides, we need to be sure we actually know how technology is properly used to meet our purposes.
