Here are the ten concerns of issues related to the usage of digital media in schools.

2. The School Community Resists Change
❖There are still many in education
who are resistance to change.
❖For instance, it is hard to change
the way you teach.
❖Therefore, it is important to
provide plenty of information,
statistics, and examples to show
the community why these tools
should be implemented in the
classroom.

3. Lack of IT Support
❖As the school uses more
technology, it will need to
increase its IT department.
❖More use of technology means
stress on the IT department.
❖Every school cannot have IT
Department.
❖Cannot approach IT team
immediately.

4. Technology Continuously Changing
❖Technology is always
changing.
❖So you should not expect to
be using the same tools
forever.
❖Instead, you should have a
plan and budget in place for
upgrading technology.

5. Lack of quality content
❖With the amount of digital
content, it is overwhelming to
organize a collection of high
quality digital learning materials
independently.
❖School administrators and
teachers should work side-by-
side with the school librarian to
develop a solid collection of
content.

6. Not A Substitute For Human Interaction
❖ Even now humans begin to use
virtual assistants more regularly,
they are still no replacement for
human interaction.
❖Teachers should not step aside and
let the digital tools “take over.”
❖Instead, teachers should use digital
resources as supplemental and
complementary tools for the
classroom

7. High costs
❖ Technology and digital resources
are expensive.
❖Therefore, teachers and schools
have to seek grants and community
support for funding.

8. Unequal Access For All Students In And Out Of School
❖Even if the school has Wi-Fi
and a great collection of digital
tools, it does not mean the
student population has these
devices (or Wi-Fi) when they
go home.
❖To overcome this challenge,
some schools are providing
students with laptops or
tablets.

9. Software Is Not Optimized For Mobile Devices
❖ Many students do not have
internet access at home, so
they use their cell phones (and
data) for internet access.
❖Therefore, it is important to
make sure all your digital
resources are optimized for
mobile devices.

10. Security issues
❖ More activity online also leads
to more security issues.
❖To combat security issues,
school should invest in
security.
❖Additionally, students and
teachers need to be taught the
basics about internet safety.

11. Lack Of Training For Teachers
• Teachers are busy enough, so it
can be difficult for them to add
one more thing to their busy
schedules.
• If you want your digital learning
environments to be successful,
you must find time to train
teachers on how to use various
digital tools.

12. CONCLUSION
• The role of digital media in education evolve is how students actually gain
information.
• Students have access to unlimited information, knowledge at their
fingertips has caused many students not to pay as much attention in class.
• Due to the availability of video lectures and other resources, learning has
become far more accessible.
• Another way digital media has affected education is through a variety of
other technologies, such as smart boards and smart podiums which allow
teachers to easily draw graphs and bring out images and other resource
material to improve the learning of their students.
• Many teachers today use a variety of tools to improve learning in their
subject; these tools include various activities, books, digitally published
research papers and PowerPoint’s.
