Abstract
Here's my list of some problems (which, like best practices, have their upside):
1. Every minute a person spends learning how to use computers is a minute that they're not devoting to learning the content of their field.
2. There is a tremendous amount of bad information available on the Internet, posing as good information. It takes a relatively mature person to be able to tell the difference. For students, this can be a major problem, because their motivation is often to get the assignment done as quickly as possible (and ICT allows students to get "information" very quickly) and they might well take the first 6 sources they find rather than taking the needed time to critically evaluate what they're seeing.
3. Computer presentations (e.g. Powerpoint) can be made quite "glitzy" without adding any benefit beyond what one could have had with a simple overhead. These "glitzy" features most often serve to distract the audience, rather than focus their attention on the subject at hand.
4. The seductive nature of CT easily leads to its mis-use. For example, one can obtain a CD containing images of great works of art, and with the right "gizmos" present that to an audience. This would seem to be an advance over slides and slide projectors. But the computer projected images are much poorer than slide projection. Our answer? Work to make the "gizmos" for computer projection better so they might some day be as good as the simpler and better slide technology we've abandoned.
5. It costs a lot, and once you're on the "technology treadmill" you've got to continually re-invest to "keep up to date". I have bought 5 new computers since 1986 (and I would have bought more, but fortunately my college is now buying my office computers for me). And I suspect I'm on the low end of new computer purchases. That's about ten thousand dollars I've spent on computers alone; and my college has spent and continues to spend hundreds of thousands to provide this stuff to staff and students.
