What are the advantages and disadvantages of the use of technology in the classroom?

I strongly believe that technology in the classroom is a double-edged sword


The advantages are that technology can be interesting and motivating. We can use different kind of texts, fonts, pictures, videos to enhance our teaching. We can have on-line lessons or use the blackboard for homework. Students can use wikis or blogs in order to research for new material. Technology promotes independent learning. We can store material for the future. 

The disadvantages are that we can have a lot of technical problems. Some students are very advanced with the use of technology and other ones are slow. I believe that teachers struggle to draw students' attention #soguilty #imsorry . As we know for sure internet connection IS a problem in our library (or every other part of the school).
