INTRODUCTION

The use of tech 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.

METHODS

The advantages of gadgets for students include the ability to take notes quickly and efficiently to later
store and find them using note taking software, the opportunity to collaborate with others using Google
Apps or a similar platform, access the wealth of information available online and to use concept
mapping or mind mapping software, among many other uses.

RESULTS

students who enter middle schools, high schools and colleges today being “digital natives” who are used
to consuming information in a variety of ways and interacting with tech tools all day, it is impossible to
avoid using tech tools in the classroom. Even if the teacher is of an older generation, it is worth learning
to use tech gadgets in creative, productive and educational ways, especially since the benefits of gadgets
in learning and teaching can be numerous.
