Paragraph of interest: With the ever-changing world of technology, classrooms
are gaining more technology and having to incorporate it into student learning.
Although technology can benefit student learning, it can also be detrimental to the
educational process. Technology enhances many learning opportunities and allows
for student comfort but can also be a tool that is too heavily relied on and can
potentially effect student fine motor development and problem-solving skills. In
this research study, the researchers surveyed to K-12 educators to get feedback on
how technology effects their classroom. This research helped determine how
technology effects student learning. The findings showed that more training for
teachers and students are necessary to better implement technology in the
classroom.
Paraphrased version: As technology evolves constantly, classrooms must adapt
by adding additional technology and integrating it into student instruction.
Technology has the potential to both enhance student learning and harm the
educational process. Technology improves many learning possibilities and
provides comfort for students, but it may also be a tool that is overused, which may
have negative effects on students' ability to develop their fine motor skills and
problem-solving abilities. In this study, K–12 teachers were questioned to gain
their opinions on how technology affects the classroom. This study contributed to
our understanding of how technology affects student learning. The results indicated
that greater training for educators is required in order to improve the use of
technology in the classroom.(Carstens et al., 2021)

Paragraph of interest: Besides, students’ access to internet was found to have a
positive influence on their academic performance. However, different uses of the
internet among students do not influence their academic performance. The study
concludes that availability of different internet sources to students does not grant
all of them immediate access. It is therefore, recommended that Heads of Senior
High School should liaise with policy makers and management of Ghana
Education Service to provide internet infrastructure in schools. This is relevant
because provision of internet infrastructure in schools is a key strategy to
promoting academic performance.
Paraphrased version: As specified by (Yebowaah, F., 2018) it was discovered
that students' internet access had a favorable impact on their academic
achievement. The many ways that children use the internet, however, have no
bearing on how well they perform academically. According to the study's findings,
not all pupils have rapid access to the various internet resources that are available
to them. Therefore, it is advised that Senior High School Heads work with Ghana
Education Service administration and policy makers to set up internet
infrastructure in classrooms. This is significant since one of the most effective
ways to boost academic achievement in schools is to provide internet
iinfrastructure

Paragraph of interest: Mobile phone dependency negatively predicted attention and
positively predicted depression, which in turn, affect social relationships with friends and both
Korean language arts and mathematics achievement. Also, the mediating roles of attention,
depression, and relationships with friends were found between mobile phone dependency and
the academic

Paraphrased version: A study conducted by Seo et al., (2016) findings indicated

that heavy phone use predicted sadness favorably and attentiveness negatively,
which in turn impaired social relationships with peers and academic progress.
Teenagers' social and academic behaviors in connection to mobile phone
dependence as well as the mediating impacts of attention, depression, and
friendship relationships were studied. Dependence on mobile devices predicted
attention negatively and depression positively. Dependence on mobile devices
harmed social interactions with friends and academic performance.
