Disadvantages of using technology
Lack of support- Technology can be a frustration to both teachers and
students, if the teacher is not well trained on the use of technology. If the
school cannot support the purchased technology, it will not be useful and will
not meet the desired intent.
In adequate teaching methodology
Teachers need to be trained on the use of technology in the classroom,
technology need to be fully integrated for students to learn from it, students
need to learn from technology and not just with technology. If there is no
training on the part of teachers.
Time lost
This is due to connection problem, downloading issues, policing software and
other difficulties that cause road blocks when implanting a lesson in
technology based classroom.
Upkeep and maintenance
The cost of maintenance can be greater for some schools once an equipment
is broken. Some schools are not able to repair it because they do not have
funds assigned for that.
Incompatibility issues
Some materials taught in the classroom like state or national assessment can
only be done on paper and pencil basis. This is the only way this materials
will be accessible for all students at the same time
