    1. Active learning occurs only through challenges and the freedom to learn from ones mistakes. Technology has both positive and negative impacts on how it can influence this process. Because technology allows us to access information from around the world, it will expose us to challenges that will challenge us an positively impact our learning. However, technology is also very powerful when it comes to easing our challenges. This was it can reduce how much we can learn from a specific topic. Ultimately, technology can make or break ones education and its up-to the user to be mindful about how one uses it.

  2. While providing kids with adequate tools for studying and learning, technology also stifles their originality. Any information is easily accessible to learners online. The ease with which students can acquire information could be a creative block.
    Students that use contemporary technologies have a number of health issues. The usage of cell phones excessively by students could have a negative impact on their health. The use of mobile devices has a detrimental impact on students' health. They fail to exercise as a result of their frequent use of technology, which has an effect on their physical health.

  4. In this modern world we all are able to get whatever we want to learn, with the aid of technology.Unlike the earlier times, technology has really brought a tremendous change in learning.At present, we can access all the resources all over the world, being in our comfortable place and learn effectively.Anyhow,in sometimes, technologies(using internet) mislead us to wrong informations and irrelevant contacts.And also getting addicted to technologies is one of the bad effects, while we use technologies for our effective learning.
    Indeed it's our responsibility (as a user) to balance the bad effects and the advantages in everything in order to learn effectively with the aid of technologies.

  5. Technology has a great impact on learning process.It can be strongly agreed that technology promotes effective learning process.As a positive impact of covid 19 students are used to access materials online.if someone come across certain issues to get clarified related to learning ,they can use different search engines in the meantime and come across different learning methodologies including visual representations ,practical and etc.. which makes the learning more effective. Students can even just email to their tutor and get clarifications.it reduces the cost and time of learning .In due case rural areas with less access to technology will definitely face issues in enjoying learning .However it can be concluded that technology has a great positive impact in effective learning process

  6. With the advancement of technology, many new aspects of education have evolved. Since technology plays a huge role in designing the fate of future education, it is considered as a boon to all students through which the students get a great opportunity to explore many new things regarding their lessons. Further, it enables the student to make use of their time effectively. However, the negative effects of technology outweigh the positive effects. It creates numerous health issues, distracts the students from their main purpose which is learning, and makes the student isolated from his/her immediate surrounding which could develop many psychological disorders in future.

  7. Nowadays, we are used to use technology in educational purposes as it's much effective and it is so easy to find information what we need in a short period of time. We can find blogs, research articles and whatever we want by using the technology.But there are disadvantages too as well as the advantages. Some people, especially the children addict to those devices and it causes for several health issues and also the problems regarding their education and social activities.

  8. The use of technology in education allows students to learn and study more effectively while saving a significant amount of time. The learners do not have to visit the libraries and spend all day and night researching certain subjects. The internet enables them to quickly and easily find the information they need in seconds with only a few clicks. As for negative effects, it limits students' creativity. It also wastes students' time when they waste their time listening to music, watching movies, and playing games. Also, it has the ability to cause several health problems. Even though technology has its own negative effects, it may be extremely helpful for the students’ efficient learning and studying if it is used correctly.
