Limits of Using ICT in Teaching and Learning

Abstract

The importance of using ICT in teaching and learning is undoubtedly undisputable these days, in the world of hi-technology era. On the one hand, the focus lays on the innovative techniques that teachers should master while doing their job, and on the other hand, the efficiency of transmitting the information and enriching the students’ capacity of knowing and understanding new ideas and concepts, while helping them still count on their critical thinking. Thus, it is important to know which are the benefits and disadvantages of using ICT so that we can establish its limits in the teaching-learning process. In order to keep a balance in this process, the present research focusses on four types of limits: temporal, relational, physical, and spatial.
