Statement of the problem:

We want to focus in the misuse that most of students

do concerning to internet in education through some

experiences in the field. internet has a wide range of

uses, but in the field of education can be used as a

valuable resource of information, the problems is that

most of the students misuse this tool and instead oflook for information, they just spend lots of time

chatting, wasting time in applications such as

facebook, etc., that is what was found among the

students of Centro Escolar Catolico Americano,specifically among students whose ages are among

15 - 18 of 6th through 7th grades. This research was

made in 2013.

The influence of internet in education

The Internet is a marvelous invention. Because of its introduction into

education and its availability to just about anyone, the world will

probably never be the same. People of all ages can log on 24 hours aday, 7 days of the week in search of whatever they need.

Teachers find the Internet to be extremely useful in planning lessons.

The web is full of sites created specifically for teachers to share ideas,

change information, and share documents. Perhaps young people

stand to gain the most from using the Internet. In addition to being

able to express themselves and show creativity on sites like Facebook

and Twitter, they can also use the net for school projects and

homework.

In adition, and this is something that is becoming more and more

common, many children and teenagers, use this tool in class, not for

educational purposes, but to play, chat, or anything else not related tothe sub ect.

Advantages and disadvantages of internet in education

Advantages: Students can take a good profit in different ways of learning, where they can

facilitate and participate in courses not offered in other circumstances.

Internet helps teachers to communicate and obtain information more easily and quickly with

other teachers within the institution and communities of other institutions.

Disadvantages: In many cases the information collected can be erroneous when teachers do

not have that facility of adequate computer skill.

Many teachers especially in rural areas do not have much knowledge or have not been updated

on how to use the tools for better learning and students can apply it and also they do not have

the necessary access to the navigation.

Advantages and disadvantages of cell phone use by students

Interruptions in the middle of the class: Commonly, the cell phone is a distraction to students

when teaching a class. This is for the fact that it has become common for students moving to

middle class ring, or discovers they are using some of its various functions.

Waste of time: Youngpeoplesattachment to the cell phone is such that daily activities often

focus on the apparatus, which makes activities previously performed as family conversations

are deleted and replaced by games with the mobile text messages, etc.

Cutting edge technology in El Salvador

Some advances in technology in El Salvador include:

Internet access to many people: Now it's much easier to perform an investigation task,compared to previous time as they used to go to the library, now people can easily look on

internet for information.

More and cheaper Internet service:The times have changed a lot and now in El Salvador

there several telephone companies that provides internet services at low costs and prices.

Broadband Internet: This issue is on the lips of many countries, but in El Salvador

companies are providing excellent speed (2 MB or higher) in both, residential and mobilebroadband internet.

To end with this research, here is a real example of influence of the Internet in El Salvador:

This research group visited and take as a sample for this investigation the "Centro Escolar

Catlico Americano", which is a private institution located in Soyapango city. This

institution has around 1,000 students, and they offer basic education from kinder to high

school, also they teach several basic subjects, such as mathematics, science, social, English,

etc. Students interviewed think of Internet as the century's tool, because it helps them to do

their homework, research, and also entertainment. They have an innate facility with Internet

related devices because they are the internet generation.
