My style of learning, particularly in music, was always a hands-on learning experience. I always preferred something interactive in my learning environment, as opposed to just digesting information and writing about it, or having to memorize something and forget it the next week. I was a self-taught musician, it didn't matter how many times somebody explained something to me, I needed to try it out for myself to figure it out.

Negative effects might include the following: Students may become very reliant on technology, instead of thinking about an answer or trying to remember something, a student might simple just "google it" instead of actually thinking of what the solution might be. For younger students the internet and digital networks can be a dangerous place. Cyber bullying can happen, dangerous tracking of information and whereabouts can happen, people pretending someone they are not, there is a lot of faceless interactions that can occur and ultimately be harmful to a student if not careful. Some students may not have grown up with technology and might "fall behind" in learning in the classroom, as well as student's whose parents that will not allow a student to use technology. Plagiarizing may become easier for a student and therefore the student can become lazy and not actually learn....
