I have taught that the Romans used their shields in to hit people with ,as a weapon also. However, a colleague said this is wrong. Please respond.

They probably did hit people with the shield. Obviously there is no-one to check with...
They are good jaw and knee breaking tools. They can be kept upright and close together but jabbed up and down at a close in enemy. Coupled with the short sword and the nailed sandle, close in fighting with the Roman legions would be nasty and very dirty.
