Technology in K-12 Education: A Boom or Bane A study

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discuss the good and bad effects of using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in schools from teachers’ and students’ point of view. We have discussed here three main issues: on ICT use and its proficiency, on teachers in the school community, and on learning environment and teaching practices. The study is totally related to the national educational theory whose objective is to support the proper implementation of ICT in an effective way at all educational levels . We have thought to make the teaching and learning environment fully technology oriented at what extent we achieved this goal, as Government had funded a big amount for this project.
