Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to study the unintended consequences of use of technology in
the classrooms. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and
learning has become very common these days. Access to information increases the awareness of
students, help them in increasing thinking and creativity in learning tasks, provide quick access
to subject material and engage them in adopting strategies which can help in maximising the
quality of learning. The process of learning can become very rich if students have access to latest
information on subjects, can analyze the information quickly by manipulating it on computers
through graphical displays and experiment with the information to effectively communicate their
results and conclusions using the technical tools. On the other hand, technology can also be used
to distract students in the class room from their learning activity. Technical tools like laptops and
mobile phones can distract students from their learning activity and cause disruption to class
room activity, if not used properly. Mobile phones distract students because of problem of
ringing during class room discussion, use in cheating during class room assessments, multi-
tasking by students and use of camera in the classroom which could lead to privacy issues.
Similarly laptops and computers can be used for instant messaging and using Facebook,
watching movies or videos not relevant to class room topics and distracting other students.
Technological resources such as computers, laptops and mobile phones used in teaching and
learning activities have both constructive and destructive effect on academic environment
affecting both students and teachers. The use of technical and instructional innovations sets off a
chain of actions and reactions within education system, some of which are intended and others
unintended. Unintended effects of using technology in education accompany the adoption of
technology without. These unintended consequences of use of technology in teaching and
learning can cause disruption in class room, laboratories, and lecture halls and even outside the
traditional classrooms. The study of these unintended consequences
of use of technology in a class room setting is essential for teachers, instructors, education
administrators and education planners. If the stakeholders in delivery and planning of education
have proper understanding of intended and unintended consequences of use of technology in
class room, they can develop strategies which can help them optimize use of technical resources
and devise intervention programs in schools where needed. The purpose of this paper is to study
the consequences of use of technology in class room within the Classroom context, specifically
in the Senior High School Learners. The specific issue addressed in this paper is the nature of
unintended consequences in the use of technology in the classroom. This paper is divided into
following parts – next section describes the literature review, then methodology is given after
that results are given and discussion are given followed by conclusions.
