This article is being specific on the influence of technology on children learning.
Particularly it is focuses on the effect technology on children learning. According to the
author, backing face-to-face classroom learning with online learning facilities produces
desirable outcomes. However, if not guided by the teacher, technology can produce
undesirable outcomes on the student. I find the article a useful source of referencing
material during research on the topic. It provides information on influences of technology
on young learning children, which it can help me with my research .

3. Pamela DeLoatch, The Four Negative Sides of Technology, edudemic

N.P., n.d.Web May 2, 2015. This article was initially written by Alice
Martin and later revised by Pamela. As the topic suggests, it focuses on
the negative sides of technology. He presents four points in this case
whereby in the two of them she focuses on how technology affects
children learning. However, she goes on to explain how negative
impacts of technology can be dealt with. Some of the ways she
suggests include responsible use of technology and offering
alternatives to technology. She goes on to conclude that technology is
a two edged sword and how it affects somebody depends on how they
treat it. This article is appropriate for the topic because it offers
materials for reference for the research topic .
4. "Technology Can Have Positive or Negative Impact on Social Interactions."Humankinetics. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Nov. 2015. This article was published on the website, human
kinetics, on November 2015. The website does not clearly state the author. The article
explores the two sides of technology- the negative and the positive site. The article is
however concerned with the impact of technology on social interactions more than
anything else. On the positive side the article appers that technology enhances interaction.
On the other hand, the article suggest that too much of technology can harm social
relations. I find this article useful because it gives useful information on the two sides of
technology, which is the goal of this research topic.
