Top 5 Problems with Technology in
Education Today
5. The crutchStudents are so quick to turn to the Internet to answer
questions that some believe critical thinking has gone down thetube. Spelling is no longer something tested if everything is
autocorrected and spell checked. This may be a larger issue of
technology on our memory and brain-strength, but if we are using
the Internet in schools, then kids are being taught to use oogle toanswer all their questions and to essentially, copy and paste their
knowledge. !ducation needs to figure out how to use technology in
a way that doesn"t replace knowledge, but reinforces it.

4. The crash
#efore it was the dog ate the homework, now it"s the
computer crashed and $It was all done before it got erased%& #ut,
this popular e'cuse is used because it does happen. (hen using
the computer and all its glitches to create a pro)ect that requires
hours of work, it sometimes gets erased, doesn"t transfer over
correctly, doesn"t save, or for one human error or another is gone.
*any technology rookies have been in this position and curse at
the computer that has stolen hours.

Some students struggle simply to complete work that it seems
unfair to put obstacles in their way, especially when some
students may not have programs or the technology at home to
become familiar with it. The problem with technology glitches is
also seen with online te'tbooks. Some students have issues
accessing te'tbooks at home if they don"t have a large enough
bandwidth. +ther access problems to online materials can delay
students and put them behind in class.

3. The old-timer
Some teachers do not utilie the technology they"ve been
given. They have been teaching for years and don"t want to
incorporate something new into their time-tested lesson plans.
Some schools are pushing instructors to incorporate technology
into their syllabi and when it is poorly taught the technology is not
used at optimal level. ny teacher given high-tech programs and
e'pected to teach it in the classroom deserves proper training,
and sometimes it isn"t provided.

2. The facebook
nd Twitter, Instagram, interest, /ouTube,
etcetera. utting a computer in front of a high school student and
e'pecting them 0+T to go on 1acebook or any other distracting
non-school related site is kind of a )oke. nd it isn"t )ust the
younger students that are in danger of losing focus2 even graduate
students can hardly help themselves to online distractions in the
classroom. (hen keeping students e'cited and focused on the
lesson at hand is one of the hardest task a teacher faces, a
computer can be one of the most detrimental things to that
student"s learning.

. The band-aid
The idea that technology can save education may have
some truth in it, but it may be problematic to treat all our
educational issues with technology. In 3445,
!ducation (eek reported on a ma)or federal studythat found, $no
difference in academic achievement between students who used
the technology in their classrooms and youngsters who used other
methods.& If students aren"t proficient in their studies to begin
with and technology is used incorrectly, a whole mess of problems
could arise.

(hat"s wrong with the #and-id thinking is that technology
needs to be planned out into schools in a very precise manner in
order for it to be effective, and to cover all of education"s problems
in a #and-id may further aggravate the issues.

and business centers so that learners can communicate with
anyone he needs within his community, region or around the
globe.

%ew Psychological technologies
The e'pansion of the capabilities of the human brain has
been the goal of various 6esearch and 7evelopment pro)ects.
In accelerated learning the learners are induced into a state
of conscious rela'ation prior to a lesson. The use of special
techniques involving music and drama during the lesson then
follows for learning foreign languages with observed ease and
high rates of retention.
