Advantages and Disadvantages of Integrating ICT in the classroom
By Ronald Edinson

Today, several technologies are present throughout the world. That’s why I decided to tell you about the integration of ICT in the classroom since it is a subject that many teachers will face. As a teacher, we must rely on strategies that must be used to integrate the tics in the classroom. We must change our way of teaching based on several kinds of technological devices. To enable students to get by in all areas where they need ICT, it is necessary to inform them about these technological tools. Today, most young children are using. It is important to attract the interest of students from multiple sources of reliable and organized. Learners, from the use of technology, will be able to express their creativity.

The benefits of integrating ICT in the classroom

Today, many believe that technology improves considerably and that is why, I suppose we must, as a future primary school teachers, to know the mode of operation thereof. This reality challenges us more, because teachers modify their learning in relation to educational technology. We must, as soon as possible, to face this reality. Even today, we can see that some educators do not include little or virtually no ICT in their teaching. The reason for which they do not use them, is possibly because they do not yet see the value. That’s why the company should provide new markers to better understand the future generation.

The disadvantages of integrating ICT in the classroom

The integration of ICT in classrooms can also bring disadvantages. Teachers may have difficulty in relation to the integration thereof. They ask some préparation.Celle must be strong so that children do not use technology for purposes other than education and learning. The teacher must have control at all times on the navigation of students during school hours. It can make them understand that all websites are not reliable or acceptable. In short, students need to make better use.

In addition, researchers believe that when integrating ICT, children who have access to this information, are more likely to isolate themselves from the rest of the group since they can hardly play when children are team. When writing on the computer, it can not be two people at once. Therefore, the integration of technology has its limits.

To conclude, I strongly believe that the integration of educational technology and communication is a good way to attract the interest of young students. With all kinds of tools, we are able to control what children are doing but we must keep a constant watch for it does not use their technological tool inappropriately during school hours.
