Educational technology is intended to improve education over what it would be without technology. It is a BANE in its beneficial side in the sense that its easy**-**. Instructors can post the course material or important information on a course website, which means students can study at a time and location they prefer and can obtain the study material very quickly. Also serves as. Computer-based instruction can give instant feedback to students and explain correct answers. Moreover, a computer is patient and non-judgmental, which can give the student motivation to continue learning. Learning material can be used for long distance learning and are accessible to a wider audience. Many different types of educational software are designed and developed to help children or teenagers to learn specific subjects. Although technology in the classroom does have many benefits, there are clear drawbacks as well and it is a BOON. Lack of proper training, limited access to sufficient quantities of a technology, and the extra time required for many implementations of technology are just a few of the reasons that technology is often not used extensively in the classroom. Similar to learning a new task or trade, special training is vital to ensuring the effective integration of classroom technology. Another difficulty is introduced when access to a sufficient quantity of a resource is limited. This is often seen when the quantity of computers or digital cameras for classroom use is not enough to meet the needs of an entire classroom. Technology implementation can also be time consuming. There may be an initial setup or training time cost inherent in the use of certain technologies. Even with these tasks accomplished, technology failure may occur during the activity and as a result teachers must have an alternative lesson ready. Another major issue arises because of the evolving nature of technology. New resources have to be designed and distributed whenever the technological platform has been changed. Finding quality materials to support classroom objectives after such changes is often difficult even after they exist in sufficient quantity and teachers must design these resources on their own.
