the advantages are that there are some things that kids can experience like different videos or pictures of things across the world but a disadvantage is that they don't get a one on one experience with nature like if they are learning about bugs they should go outside and find some not look up pictures

The technology can have a great impact on the classroom if it is utilized appropriately. You can use it to efficiently answer questions in class and make everyone's life easier assuming it works correctly

The technology if used correctly can help kids learn faster. Kids can be more engaged with the technology. But it also hurts social skills in kids

While technology gives us quick access to a wealth of information, it also gives us access to misinformation just as quickly.

Some benefits of incorporating technology into learning are that with technology, we have a plethora of information and interactive activities at your finger tips,
However technology is easily breakable, and very expensive

Technology can be great for the classroom if used properly, but it can just limit them to the classroom not the outside.

Advantages of incorporating technology to help individuals learn would be that everyone uses technology on a daily basis, making it a quick means of communication for data and research.
Disadvantages would be that sometimes learning is better done hands on and if you're stuck on your screen all day, you may not learn as well.

Benefits: Real life work usually involves a lot of technology. If students learn how to use technology early, it gives them advantages when finding a job. This is particularly true when the technology involved is specifically created for a particular type of research, work, etc...

Disadvantages: Technology can be distracting. It is easy to misuse it.

Technology can give the most accurate information about things and can give the shared data immediately. The advancement of technology however seems to have an adverse affect on society by causing the people themselves to recluse into technology.

If technology is used correctly it can be interactive, which can make learning more fun and memorable. It can also be more difficult to use but if you know what you're doing it can be extremely efficient.

if you use technology effiecntly you can get a lot of thigs done in a much faster time. People can reach others quickly and from around the world. it can also be used as a different teaching technique if students learn differently of have a disability.

it can be used unaffectively because people can share not ok content and information. technology can crash and sometimes it does not work for everyone. for older generations they are sometime unable to figure it out if not taught correctly.
