Technology can enhance learning in a variety of ways:
- introduces an element of variety in a classroom
- it is motivating and stimulating, e.g. visual presentations
- can save a lot of time
- it's easier to keep records of daily work
- enhances learners' autonomy - the students can continue learning outside of the classroom
There are also some negative effects of technology which can inhibit learning:
- older students can feel out of their depth when dealing with issues they don't understand
- older students can have a slower pace of doing tasks
- there are dangers of spam and viruses which can seriously damage one's pc and make it impossible to work
- potential bullying on social networking sites can have harmful effects on individuals
