Umber Ismail presented on the positive and negative influences of internet usage. Positively, the internet provides access to an enormous amount of educational resources and information that can be used by students and teachers. It allows for online communication and collaboration. However, the internet can also be misused if students access inappropriate content or spend too much time online instead of focusing on academics. Ways to mitigate negative impacts include supervision of internet usage, blocking unwanted websites, and using internet filters.
