Are the use of many devices at school an advantage or a disadvantage? part 2
On the other hand, many people especially teachers and headmasters, argue that the use of computers and tables in educational institutions have some drawbacks. They claim that many schools don’t have the resources necessaries to afford many devices, and even the Wi-Fi system needs to align with the devices that are connecting to it. Therefore, headmasters have to make sure that their network infrastructure is up-to- date and enough to support all classrooms.
According to educational technologist Richard Clark “media do not influence learning in any condition” but are “mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition" (1983, p. 445)
To conclude, although the use of many digital devices, for instance computers and tablets has some disadvantages, the benefits are many. Some schools have implemented the new TICS the class because they are considered that it will help in the comprehension of any subject and even they will learn another useful skill.
