In conclusion, there are many arguments for and against the use of new technologies to support school teaching and learning. Benefits include students and teachers ability to keep up-to-date with a fast evolving technological world, while detriments may include harm to the health of students and their school performance. Other issues arising from the use of new technologies in schools may be that the technologies are used inappropriately by students and teachers. Schools may not have the funding to be able to buy all the new resources or to keep their teachers training up-to-date. However, predictions for the future look positive for implementing new technologies to support school teaching and learning, particularly with schools using ultranets to keep teachers, students and parents connected and communicating.
