challenges of using technology in classroom and its unintended consequences.

enhancing learning related activities in classroom. On the other hand, negative
consequences also arise because of the excitement of the students to use technology it
cause disruptions inside the classroom. This kind of issue should be taken care by
incorporating it to the curriculum and motivate the faculty and staff to take efforts in
learning how to use this technologies as part of their daily lives in teaching and learning.
Thus, the most observed positive consequences were the instant messaging through
chatting, lesson enquiry about assignments, sending and receiving e-mails, research,
gathering and downloading data/files and sharing cultural experiences with other

enhancing learning related classroom activities but may also distract the students while
studying.
