Classroom AV equipment, or audiovisual equipment, is increasingly important, as technology use continues to grow in schools over the years. Teachers and students have incorporated it into their daily routines. There are pros and cons of having technology in the classroom.
- It gives students access to an endless amount of information, right at their fingertips - this being both a pro and a con.
- It also allows students to use devices that they may not have at home to enhance their learning opportunities.
- Technology can be a huge distraction in the classroom.
- According to studies from The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, it can negatively impact students' fine motor skills as well as their problem-solving skills.
This means that the AV equipment being used needs to be top of the line to meet the needs of the students and teachers using it.
