The aim of this study was to investigate the reality of smart devices' employment in teaching and learning in Jordanian universities from the perspective of instructors. A random sample of (364) instructors were targeted. A structured interview was used to collect data and qualitative analysis was performed to reveal results. Obtained results showed that (68.1%) of respondents were against technology use specially inside the class, whereas (31.9%) were in-favor. Although a high percentage were against technology use, yet most of them use the technology by some means. Distraction, misuse, and lack of skills were the most commonly reported drawbacks. On the other hand, enriched interaction and excitement were the main aspects encouraging instructors to employ the technology in the teaching process.
