The word “Technology” can be heard anytime and anywhere. It can bring happiness, comfort and also enriched lives of people especially students through additional programs, applications and software. Technologies have entered classrooms and schools worldwide as link to new knowledge, resources and high order thinking skills. Computers, online services, the World Wide Web and other innovative technologies have enriched the way the students learn and altered the types of teaching available in the classroom. Schools’ access to technology is increasing steadily every day and most of these newer technologies are now even used in traditional classrooms (Constantino,2012). An advanced technology has many positive effects in a student but still there are negative ones that will affect the academic and moral aspect of every student. Not only the students are the ones who are affected by this advancement but also the teachers who are really teaching them. The current education advancement has been enhanced largely by technology.
