Technology is a great tool in education and it has helped a lot of us understand some subjects and concept better. But we won’t deny the fact that it’s also a great distraction.
All my classes have been online and I can say how ineffective that has been for a lot of us. Online class could be going on and we’d be on another app watching videos. But one good thing about technology is it has a counter effect for everything just like the apps you mentioned that helps to manage time, and effectively plan amongst other things.
The sooner we accept the learning environment will always coexist with the social environment the better for us. Discipline is also very important.
