The benefits of technology when it comes to learning is that it’s hands on and visual. Some disadvantages is that it can be distracting and not everyone can get a hold of it.

You could show videos that help people better understand what they are learning about.

The benefits are that it adds another set of ways that others can learn, a downfall is that it can be a "shortcut" if used poorly, as in they can use it to cut corners and just find the answers, but if used properly you can have a whole other way to educate yourself and have a firmer grasp of learning

with as many different learning styles there are, it's hard to pinpoint a set-in-stone benefit and disadvantage of how technology can affect education. lizards

It can help get people interactive activates. It can help get people in to learning they will focus more. I also can be a distraction for kids they will just see it as a game because people learn different

It may help kids if they need a different way of learning or just give them a different alternative. Kids could be come attached to the technology and we know how that effects us physically

Learning with technology allows you more access to information that you could learn or teach however it can cause distractions for kids and also may spread misinformation.

It helps to get easier access to information and speed up the process in research. It is a disadvantage because it can malfunction often.

technology provides us with a lot of resources that can help teach. The disadvantages are that some resources can make it too easy. It can also be very distracting sometimes.

Technology at its best is a splendid tool—a supplementary source of knowledge on innumerable topics. It’s just glorious how much I’ve learned online. But pay heed to this warning—you have to look in the right places for the right sources.

Technology, however, gives us access to countless distractions and poor sources of info that simply aren’t worth our time. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard classmates complain that they have “addictive personalities” and can’t have social media in their school tablets for fear of addiction to TikTok or Snapchat.
