There are always pros and cons to every type of aid used in classrooms, not matter whether they involve technology or not. To use technology effectively in the classroom the teacher needs to understand how to use it effectively in order to implement it appropriately otherwise it will probably just sit in the corner and gather dust. The students also need to be instructed in how to use the technology. These can become time consuming and can take up valuable teaching and learning time as everyone involved is learning how to use the technology and not the subject matter.

A disadvantage is the teachers ability to supervise the use of ICT’s as it can be difficult with many children in the room and only one teacher. Websites can also provide the answers for the children and they have no chance to discover and evaluate ideas properly.

ICT is seen as tools to help teachers create more 'learner-eccentric' learning environments
In OECD countries, research consensus holds that the most effective uses of ICT are those in which the teacher, aided by ICTs, can challenge pupils’ understanding and thinking, either through whole-class discussions and individual/small group work using ICTs. ICTs are seen as important tools to enable and support the move from traditional 'teacher-centric' teaching styles to more 'learner-centric' methods.
