What advantages and disadvantages does information technology bring to teachers and students in teaching?
The advantages and disadvantages of information technology in teaching are as follows:

First of all, its advantages are:

Intuitive, vivid, interactive, situational creation, autonomous learning and knowledge expansion.

Now many schools are exploring the effective use of information technology in English classroom teaching. There are many ways to do this:

First, the most common thing is that teachers make courseware for class and use courseware to break through teaching difficulties. The multimedia nature of courseware makes students have a more intuitive understanding of some abstract contents, which is a teaching strategy based on the cognitive characteristics of primary school students. Courseware combines vivid pictures, beautiful audio, intuitive video, vivid animation, beautiful words and other media materials, which enables students to learn English in a relaxed and happy atmosphere and greatly improves their interest in learning. You should know that interest is the best teacher and can stimulate students' strong interest in learning.

In a word: "Get twice the result with half the effort". This is much more interesting than the traditional method of "looking at wall charts, listening to recordings, reading and writing". Animation is students' favorite material, which not only helps teachers to create teaching situations, but also helps students to learn English in more realistic situations, and students pay more attention to it.

2. Teaching activities under network conditions. Now another popular teaching method is online learning. There are many ways to do this:

(1) Teachers put some teaching tasks and related resources on blogs or special learning websites for students to browse. Students can browse the teacher's blog or download resources in their spare time to study independently, and then feedback their learning situation through SMS. Teachers can also give comments and feedback to students by leaving messages. For example, teachers post exercises or composition topics on blogs for students to do, students can upload their answers or compositions to blogs by leaving messages, and teachers give comments and feedback to students by replying to messages (with stars). This not only stimulates students' enthusiasm for learning, but also gives them a platform to express their autonomous learning achievements. At the same time, it also builds a communication bridge between teachers and students.

(2) Carry out research study according to a certain topic. This learning mode is an extension learning based on the theme learning website. The specific method is for teachers to expand according to the content of the textbook, ask professional and technical personnel to develop a special learning website, and then let students collect relevant information online. After they finish it themselves, they upload their learning results to the website in the form of courseware, electronic newspapers and periodicals, so that the content of the website continues to expand. While collecting and sorting out materials, students not only expanded their knowledge of English, but also cultivated and improved their information literacy, which laid a solid foundation for autonomous learning in the future. This is difficult to achieve in the traditional learning mode.

Second, the shortcomings and limitations:

1. There are too many monks to have enough porridge —— Views on classroom teaching under network conditions: To realize classroom teaching under network conditions, two conditions must be met:

(1) Students should have computers;

(2) network connection. There are only two possibilities to realize these two conditions, one is to carry out teaching activities in the computer room; Second, students have a laptop connected to the Internet. Obviously, the second situation is more difficult to achieve. In the first case, the conditions are limited. There are so many students in a school with only one or two computer rooms that it is obviously difficult to meet the requirements of regular classroom teaching under the network conditions;

2. The influence of network garbage. Pupils' thirst for knowledge increases with the improvement of information literacy. They can not only collect some useful information, but also some bad information, and even indulge in online games and get addicted to internet addiction, which is not good for their healthy physical and mental development. Newspapers, TV and other media often report that students are addicted to internet cafes and die suddenly or embark on the road of crime. How to guide students to establish a correct concept of network use is an important topic we are facing;

3. Media hinders the communication between teachers and students in class to some extent. Teachers can't keep their hands off the mouse and students' eyes off the screen, so teachers can't receive information from students' eyes and facial expressions, and then make corresponding responses; Students can't get encouragement and inspiration from teachers' facial expressions and gestures. "People-oriented" is the first. Teachers are always the organizers and guides of teaching activities. The positive effect of teachers' good personality charm, strict attitude towards learning and solid basic skills on students' psychological level is incomparable and irreplaceable by any media teaching means.
