Abstract

If technology is effectively used in education, that is, the result will bring positive benefits not only to the concerned people, but also to the whole society. Depending on how technology is used, its negative and positive sides appear. In the past century, only younger students and teachers have benefited from the use of technology in the classroom. In other words, students now have the chance to make the learning process much simpler and more engaging thanks to the unexpected introduction of a variety of devices and the Internet.
