Parental misunderstanding, where parents might misinterpret data, which can lead to interference in teaching.

Technical issues can occur.

Students might become more concerned with earning points on the app than actual learning taking place.

Using a laptop as a teacher has many benefits. It allows teachers to easily carry their work anywhere, making it simple to plan lessons and grade assignments at home or in different classrooms. Laptops also give access to a wide range of online resources and educational tools, which can make lessons more interesting and engaging for learners. Teachers can quickly communicate with learners and parents through emails and use software to organize and update lesson plans, grades and feedback efficiently.

However, there are some challenges which includes technical problems like software crashes or hardware issues can disrupt teaching. Laptops can also be a source of distraction as both teachers and learners might get sidetracked by non- educational websites or social media. Not all students may have access to laptops or reliable internet at home, which can create inequality. Additionally, using laptop for long periods can lead to health issues like eyes strain.

Copyright: One significant drawback of digital libraries is the difficult problem of copyright.

Copyright limitations and license agreements that govern how users access, use, and distribute digital

content are common. Navigating copyright rules and maintaining compliance can be difficult for both

library managers and users, perhaps limiting the availability or restricting the usage of particular

materials
