How technology and media can influence the teaching process and what problems may occur.

 The use of technology or media during a lesson hour can influence students, teacher and the process of learning. Technology can assist teachers and accelerate students’ learning by using teaching tools and motivating students to learn. Not only can tablets, apps, video and interactive whiteboards be learning tools for students, but they can be additional teaching tools for educators. Interactive presentation tools, video clips, graphics and other audio visual elements are a simple way to keep students actively engaged in lessons, as well as a means to keep your lessons fresh.

Furthermore, no child is the same. Every student learns at his or her own pace. There are many ways that integrating technology into the classroom can help students learn at a rate that is comfortable to them, and that allows them to retain information. For example, in-classroom lessons or activities on laptops or tablets allow students to read directions, process information and complete work at their own pace. This also helps free up the teacher’s time so they can give students who may need extra guidance or assistance the attention they require.

Nevertheless, in our country teachers may face an important difficulty as it concerns the use of technology during the lesson hour. The inability to support it. While technology can be a great addition to the classroom, it also can be a source of frustration for both the teacher and the student. Unless the teacher is well trained in technology and can support the hardware in the classroom, a technology expert will be needed to troubleshoot problems. If schools cannot support the purchased technology, it essentially renders it useless in times of crisis or disrepair. Additionally, technology often needs frequent maintenance to keep it in good condition for use.
