1. Technology can be a distraction
Identify specific projects, times during class, and your intentions for allowing the use of technology in the classroom. Creating expectations and guidelines for students, and sticking to them, will be important for them in respecting your boundaries.
2. Technology can disconnect students from social interactions
By creating assignments that incorporate technology as well as oral presentations and group collaboration, students will learn to be dynamic in how they learn and interact with others.
3. Technology might make lesson planning more difficult
The task of incorporating technology into your classroom can seem hard or overwhelming. In many ways though, using technology can become as natural to you as any daily activity.
4. Technology makes it easier for students to cheat on assignments
While technology could be seen as yet another way to cheat, it’s possible to structure assignments and exams in a way that makes cheating difficult, or make exams open-book and focus on problem-solving and mastery rather than retention.
5. Technology is not accessible to all students
Don’t make technology the focus of your class, and don’t make it a barrier. Incorporate it in annclusive manner.
