The present paper investigated major reasons behind the failure of an effective technologization of schools
and universities in Algeria. It also tackled the issue of teacher-student rapport in an era where the internet
has become a rival for teachers. This work questioned the factors contributing to the failure of a successful
integration of new technologies in Algerian classrooms. Field observations were required to collect data;
four primary schools (private and public, two middle schools), two secondary schools and four universities
were the fieldwork of this study. Also, as a case study, I lastly presented my personal experience in
technologizing my classes as a university teacher. The results showed that social, cultural, economic and
educational factors were behind the failure of a successful integration of ICTs in Algerian classrooms.
Moreover, I emphasized that the teacher-learner rapport is in jeopardy because of the chaotic and
ineffective penetration of new technological tools in the Algerian classroom.
