With new high technology, schools are now more advanced than ever. With this type of technology, teachers can improve their ways of teaching, students can take advantage of what can be discovered with just one touch in their hands, and it can lead to good results. But aside from its advantages, these technologies can have their side effect and at times might even destroy the students' learning environment. It all accords on how they use the new technologies.
