Education is the utmost necessity of students for all ages; however, it becomes more important for those who are opting for higher education, which is a platform for a good career and a good job. Earlier higher education was not a cake for all as it was an expensive task to collect all the necessary resources and information which were required for the research work and for the eligibility for being capable for holding a degree in higher education. Now, thanks to the advent of technology and the creation of computers, laptops, smartphones, internet, eBooks, photocopies and many more, collecting resources and strategically using them is not as difficult and expensive as it was used to be.

The biggest fear of a child in elementary school is probably the subject called mathematics.  However, using technology while studying mathematics has shown a positive result on student performance in that subject. According to many teachers, internet has provided math activities at different levels. It gave immense opportunity to a student to choose the level they are comfortable with. Thu students are able to grab mathematics easily and the fear of maths is changed to love of maths.

It is no doubt that technology has bought an immense positive impact in the academic learning of students; however, there is the other side of the coin as well.  If we talk about multimedia, children get easily exposed to sexual content on the internet. Even though encountering sexual content are not good memories, children especially adolescent are much curious to know the unwanted hence get into the risk of sexting. Exchanging sexual messages and content, and capturing sexually provoking images in the smartphones occur as part of sexual experimenting or even as a joke between peers, which can get them into immense troubling once being exposed to social media. Students who are generally more techno-savvy tend to think them as superior to their contemporaries which is leading to more cases on bullying or even criminal consequences.

It focuses on supplemental teaching tool and interactive presentation with the video clips, graphics and other audio visual elements which results in active participation of students in a classroom thus increasing the competitive nature in them. This motivates the student to learn further. On other hand technology often leads students to exchanging sexual messages and content which can land them up in big trouble. Thus the role of parents and teacher becomes more vital here. They are the ones who will make the children understand the positive power of technology and the negative effects of it as well. They are the ones who will make a child understand that if a technology is used in a wise manner, it can be the most powerful weapon of your success. On the other hand, misusing technology may lead you to nowhere but in trouble.
