"We live in a high tech world—with high tech classrooms. We embrace the benefits of using iPads during class, integrating tweets during presentations, and teaching students while using smart TVs. We know the many benefits of incorporating technology while teaching, such as adding diversity to lessons, increasing student interaction, and to bringing new perspectives and knowledge to the class. But there can be a negative side resulting from inappropriate or overuse of technology, and that negative side can have serious and long-term consequences." Via Beth Dichter

Technology has many benefits, but it can also cause harm. Edudemic shares updated information on some of the harmful effects technology may bring, as well as five ways you may address the harmful impacts. Two of the harmful effects are below. 1. Technology changes the way children think. Research shows that "the use of technology can alter the actual wiring of the brain." There may be benefits to this, but there are some known issues that are discussed in the post. 2. Technology changes the way children feel. A study of two groups of 6th graders showed that those who "no access to technology for five days" were more empathetic than those who were using it. Studies also show that children who use technology more than 4 hours a day may experiences difficulties in "social skills and emotional reactions." In addition to two additional negative impacts the five suggestions include: * Teach responsible usage. * Use classroom technology intentionally. These are issues that are impacted by how students use technology outside of school. You may want to include some of this information in a parent newsletter.

This is an important text since we have to know that the use of technology has many benefits for the learning processes, and nowadays it has become a trend having one or more technological devices. The point is that an excessive use could have some negative points. For example, many years ago kids had a lot of interaction with their friends face to face, either playing or doing another things, but it have changed a lot since the excessive use of technology has caused that now kids do not want to get out for sharing time with their friends, they only want to be in Social Networks. Also, as it is mentioned in the text "Technology can put privacy and safety at risk"; it is true since many people, not only kids, share in their social Networks about private things that other people should not know. In conclusion, it is important to take into account the good aspects of implementing technology for education, but teachers should make their students conscious of the problems that excessive use of it can brings..

As I already have reflected in the other articles that I have published, there is not any doubt about the important role that technology can have in education . Technology offers us millions of reasons to contribute positively in the learning process, and there are infinite resources, applications and web pages that help in our profession.
As technology has become a daily tool, it has advantages and disadvantages. It is important to take a look to this article due to the fact that ir presents four negative aspects of technology. Children are losing the ability to interact face to face with others because they only want to be focused on their digital devices. In addition, as the author says: "Technology can put privacy and safety at risk". It can be evidenced because many people are using social networks in a deliberate way without paying attention to the risks of exposing the privacy to everybody. Those are examples described in the article about the negative aspects that can arise from the bad use of technology. |
