Is the use of many devices at school an advantage or a disadvantage? part 1 Many countries in the world have implemented computers, tablets, smartphones, projectors, etc. at schools because it has a positive effect on learning but sometimes its use is limited by some issues. One advantage of the use of these devices is that they are useful for both teachers and students. The new technology such as projectors and computers can help to explain and understand a topic, especially if it is a difficult one. The use of programs such as PowerPoint, videos on YouTube, research information on Google, etc. support in the lesson planning and to do some tasks. Therefore, these audiovisual programs generates more enthusiasm in students because the lesson becomes more interesting and for that reason students are more motivated, more involved in the task. In addition, the implementation of these programs may help teacher to connect with their students in all styles and learners obtain several information. Another advantage is that the new technologies like smartphones, tablets and notebooks give learners a real-world skill to use it later in life. We live in a digital world and technology continues advanced so we depend on our knowledge of how to use them. Students will learn another skill which will be useful when they have to get a job. Moreover, this can help students to become more responsible in their own learning. Professors of education at the University of Illinois Chicago, James W. Pellegrino and Janice Altman (1997) claim that “the penultimate use of technology occurs when students use technology to move from being knowledge consumers to being knowledge producers”. In some schools, learners are given the opportunity to do projects in which students can demonstrate the new knowledge, their creativity using different apps. Besides, the technology can engage students in real world activities in social sciences, electronic communication tools (e.g. internet conferencing, e-mail, electronic discussion groups) allow students to communicate with their peers from many places in the world.
