Does the internet and technology offer promise and hope for education or learning or does it just create additional problems?

My opinion on this matter is that yes the internet does help students with their school work. The internet has many very very good websites that students can access in just a click of a button. Students use the internet anyways, so now they can also learn for it. However, with the good websites there are also alot of bad ones. Some websites that students use give false or bad information, but the student does not know this and may end up putting it in a research paper. The internet has also made it harder for teachers to know if the student actually wrote the paper or came up with the information, or if it was plagerized. So I think the internet could be both good or bad, depending on the type of work being given by the teacher.
