The Internet is indeed a wonderful and amazing addition in our lives, as it can be known as a kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can come together. along with advantages, there are some disadvantages also which act as a distraction of us while we use internet. The aim of teaching was to impart theoretical knowledge to the students but nowadays, theoretical knowledge should be imparted in more practical way. therefore, the best way to do, is the use of internet, and digital technology. There is no doubt, internet provides us a lot of opportunities, but sometimes it can be a distraction. According to this article, Balance in the Digital Age, it is critical for families to comprehend how digital addictions can encourage multitasking, which has a negative impact on children’s development and interpersonal relationships. The significance of creating plans to “keep humanity and ensure that, even as we are all connected electronically, we do not lose our potential for human connection” is also emphasized in this article. It is crucial to teach students and people, how to be responsible and effective digital citizens in a time when human connection and productivity can be so easily lost in a world of social media posts and text messages.

 Also, by this article, “How the internet is destroying your focus” explains the negative impact of excessive use of internet on human beings. Even though, internet promotes multitasking, but it also encourages distraction at the same time. For example, working on one device, you can still watch a video having 10 other tabs open, play Spotify in the background, and get notifications from Gmail and iMessage at the same time but in this way, you can not concentrate on one thing!

The Internet provides opportunities for growth, and can be used for a variety of things. Even with the help of internet, students become more active and alert in the class-room. Also, teaching has become easier than before. For instance, if I have to explain a diagram to the students, I can easily do this with the help of smartboard. Also, some of the things that you can do via the Internet are, make your classroom more interactive by using different digital technology such as Projectors, PowerPoints, and Google slides.

I believe, teaching and learning is a never-ending process. So, it should be upgraded constantly with the time. teachers need time to develop their technological fluency, apply pedagogic principles to the available materials. Only by doing this, they can make their classroom more tech based.

““Our use of the Internet involves many paradoxes, but the one that promises to have the greatest long-term influence over how we think is this one: the Net seizes our attention only to scatter it.””
