Conclusion
The study includes that the use of technology in classes ensure better learning, but some limitation like lack of technology, lack of support, lack of trained person hampers it. This study recommends for sufficient technologies, proper teacher training, favorable support from the authority, good management and sufficient fund to ensure the use of technology in classes which bring the best result of using technology.

Recommendations
The findings show that students’ learning is more satisfactory with the use of technology. But there are some limitations and negative impacts that pull down the effectiveness of using technology in classrooms. The limitations need to be solved for betterment of learning.
• It is already found that technology is used for learning at the tertiary level of Bangladesh, but it should be ensured that every teacher use technology in each and every class.
• The findings show that the use of technology is hampered for some limitations. Such as- lack of proper technology, lack of trained person, lack of proper support of the authority, mismanagement are some of the causes. The authority should give the proper support by providing sufficient and durable technological tools. They should organize the training programs to create skilled person. They should also organize the training programs for teachers. A teacher should have expertise as well as to teach his/her student in an effective manner.
• Technology costs money. The government of our country should work for maximum use of technology. Government can set up more computer labs with internet connection in universities.
• Faculty members can receive rewards for using technology in the classroom and developing new learning technologies. This is a fine method on the department level for a university to implement learning technology on a massive scale.
• Not only teacher but students need to be able to use technology for a communicative relation. It helps students to learn lessons as well as the use of technologies.
• Technology must be relevant and interactive to the coursework and must be used for a practical purpose. Irrelevant technologies cause no support for learning.
• As we find some negative impacts of using technology in learning, such as inattentiveness, abuses of technologies. Here, to mention that every good thing has some negative sides; we should drop the negative and go along with the benefits. To reduce the negative effect in classrooms teacher can play a good role. They can hold the attention of the students by showing something interesting. And any kind of abuse of technologies should be forbidden.
• Technology should not be used to do what can be done without it. Such as-drawing should be done in paper not in computer.
• Technology should be used for good things in better ways.
Technology integration can't be accomplished overnight. It takes time, steps and lots of patience. Through training, time, strong administrative support and leadership, and long term planning, however, all institutions can reach their goals for technology integration.
