Advantages and Disadvantages of ICT in Education

ADVANTAGES

Access to most update sources and info rapidly and cheap
 

Many focus exercises can be found on the net 


Teachers can select different materials that fit better to the students needs according their age, level, and abilities


Many ELT resources can be found: discussion groups, interactive book reading, sound recording, games, talking books, chart lines, etc.



DISADVANTAGES

 Mandatory implementation of at least a computer could be an impediment rather than a tool.

Lesson planning using ICT is more time consuming than following an already planned class.

 

Not everything that is on the internet can be seen as useful and reliable given that everybody can upload whatever on it


Teachers with no training on technologies have no access to ELT information, so that they do not know how to teach classes with these resources

    2. One of the greatest advantages is that ICT´s have broken barriers and opened up communication in such way that we have been able to keep in touch with long forgotten friends.

      A disadvantage is that people may not know how to use the different programs or may not be aware how useful ICT´s are.

  2. One advantage will be that our students enjoy technology so they will feel this work interesting.
    A disadvantage could be for adults who do not get along with technology, they could be reluctant to this technologies.
