There are many technologies that do not fit the teaching setting. Many technologies that I use every day such as a cell phone, video games, facebook, etc. would actually be a complete distraction when teaching a lesson to a class. Although these technologies have many positive sides to them, the main purpose of them is to be personal pleasure. For example, Facebook could easily be used for communication between students and teachers. But also the distraction of looking at pictures and friends would be completely distracting. These day to day technologies are useful but the distraction defeats the purpose.
