According to Dr. Morgan Gerard (JUNE 6, 2013), like all technologies, gadgets

are culturally constructed, socially constituted and historically contingent. Because

technology is embedded in all human activity, a gadget is the product of us and our

place, time and zeitgeist. However, it might be considered a novelty and designed

simply to make living more fun or convenient a characterization which points to an age

in which fun and convenience are paramount. A gadget alters the conditions of our lives

because using it serves to materialize behaviors that are associated with a need, feeling

or condition.

Advantages of Using Gadgets During Class Hours

When we are using technologies like gadgets it can help us our work easy. There

are some advantages or benefits that gadgets can give us. According to PANO

SAVVIDIS(YEAR), there are 6 benefits of using technology in the classroom. Here are

the following:

Improves Engagement

When technology is integrated into lessons, students are expected to be more

interested in the subjects they are studying. Technology provides different opportunities

to make learning more fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching same things in new ways.

For instance, delivering teaching through gamification, taking students on virtual field

trips and using other online learning resources. What is more, technology can

encourage a more active participation in the learning process which can be hard to

achieve through a traditional lecture environment.

Improves Knowledge Retention

Students who are engaged and interested in things they are studying, are

expected to have a better knowledge retention. As mentioned before, technology can

help to encourage active participation in the classroom which also is a very important

factor for increased knowledge retention. Different forms of technology can be used to

experiment with and decide what works best for students in terms of retaining their

knowledge.

Encourages Individual Learning

No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different

abilities. Technology provides great opportunities for making learning more effective for

everyone with different needs. For example, students can learn at their own speed,

review difficult concepts or skip ahead if they need to. What is more, technology can

provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students. Access to the Internet

gives students access to a broad range of resources to conduct research in different

ways, which in turn can increase the engagement.

Encourages Collaboration

Students can practice collaboration skills by getting involved in different online

activities. For instance, working on different projects by collaborating with others on

forums or by sharing documents on their virtual learning environments. Technology can

encourage collaboration with students in the same classroom, same school and even

with other classrooms around the world.

Students Can Learn Useful Life Skills Through Technology

By using technology in the classroom, both teachers and students can develop

skills essential for the 21st century. Students can gain the skills they will need to be

successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating with others, solving

complex problems, critical thinking, developing different forms of communication and

leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity. What is more, technology

can help develop many practical skills, including creating presentations, learning to

differentiate reliable from unreliable sources on the Internet, maintaining proper online

etiquette, and writing emails. These are very important skills that can be developed in

the classroom.

Benefits for Teachers

With countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers

can use different apps or trusted online resources to enhance the traditional ways of

teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson plans, grading software

and online assessments can help teachers save a lot time. This valuable time can be

used for working with students who are struggling. What is more, having virtual learning

environments in schools enhances collaboration and knowledge sharing between

teachers.

Jacinthfaye (2016), there are many advantages in using gadgets like; you can

take notes easier and faster, Teachers can read your handwriting better, and you can

put it in your backpack because its only 1.44 pounds. Instead of pulling out a notebook,

pen or a pencil to write page after page of your notes you can use your laptop or phone

to write like a text book. It is easier and much faster. You can use your gadgets to look

in a dictionary when you’re supposed to be looking up the definition.

Tanya Mosiaz Slavin (2018), getting online in the classroom is a richly beneficial

experience in the students. The use of technology like gadgets in the classroom is a

controversial issue. On the one hand, there are the advantages of using electronic

devices in learning. Computers and other electronic devices can greatly enhance the

learning experience. They can help with teaching certain math concepts, allow students

to explore the world outside the classroom, create opportunities to connect with other

students and experts all over the globe and even help with accountability and self-

assessment. On the other hand, there is some research that shows that the presence of

gadgets in the classroom offers too many opportunities for distraction.

Disadvantages of Using Gadgets In Class Hours

Using gadgets in class hours has disadvantages to us students. Jacinthfaye

(2016), there are also many disadvantages in using our gadgets like; you will get

distracted and will not be concentrated in the class anymore, People get distracted by

their electronic devices, they have trouble reading, and their teacher has to tell them to

read their book, With electronics the teachers will teach, but no one would be listening.

Students would have lower attention spans in school, and more on their electronics in

their hands; Students would play a game instead of listening to the teacher. Now a days

there are some students who are lazy when they are making their assignments or

projects in school.

According to Arkady Vasiliev (2018), students get addicted to gaming, texting,

talking on phone. They show lazy attitude towards studying. Excess use of gadgets may

create health problems. Because of the use of gadgets we give less important in

communication between our near ones. Now a day's people are too lazy, they are

unable to do the works without gadgets.

In Anshul Chaurasia (2018), In simple words gadgets are made for our comfort,

less cost (in terms of time, money and human efforts) so where is the disadvantage of

that gadgets. The main problem is the misuse of that things. For example, regular use,

addiction of games or in other ways of usage of gadgets. At last we know to understand

that we should be able to use these things properly so that it does not harm us.

Effects of Gadgets

The effect of technology like gadgets in the students are Due to the increasing

use of gadgets, Children/Students suffer from various health problems, like back pain,

weak eyesight. Additionally, due to less physical activity, they even tend to become fat

or obese. The effects of electronic gadgets, can even a have a bad impact on social

relationships. Lack of face to face social interaction. Feeling irritable and out of control or

depression when not using it. Health problems (eye strain, back pain.) Neglecting work,

school, or family. Students can’t focus to their studies because their mind focus in

gadgets, in times of quizzes and exams students get a low score or grades.
