Using technology in classes has some advantages and disadvantages. Supposing that there was two section for one lecture; in one of them the insructor would use technology very often in the other section instructor wouldn’t use. I would choose the section in which technology will be used, because we can use internet and becuse we live in an age that we have to use technology. However using technology can be hard for students sometimes and it can be unneccessary sometimes.
Technology is useful during class, because we can use internet while writing an essay, for instance. Using internet we can have an opinion about the topic before we begin to write. It will be more quick to write an essay using technology also. We can have an acces to the essays of different people if the instructor use blogger, wordpress… We can have those advantages using technology whereas we can’t have those with a pen and a paper. That is; writing will be advanced if we use technology.
Technology is unnecessary during classes sometimes. For instance use of secondlife. The students are all in classroom and there is no need to communicate on net. The students who are not using tehnology can communicate effectively, because the gestures and mimics are more effective whereas they are limited in use of secondlife.
Sometimes we have to use tehnology; the area we live requires this. For this reason the student who use or have to use technology will have advantages while the student who use classic method-pen and paper- will not.
To sum up; using technology is useful in classes. However, we should determine the limit if not we can not take advantage of it.
