Topic > phew, there have been many positive benefits of technology and internet access in schools. Children who have had trouble distracting themselves or have low motivation in class have had positive effects with Internet access incorporated into the teaching program. Michael Harper (2012), a web reporter for redObrit.com, credited the Pew Group with conducting a survey that found evidence that the Internet helps easily distracted students pay attention.
