Crespo, Cynthia, Ana Barandiaran, and Concepcion Samaniego. "Internet Uses and Parental Mediation

in Adolescents with ADHD."Revista Latina de Comunicacion Social13.65 (2010): 1-

11.Academic Search Complete. Web. 9 May 2013.This scholarly source introduces the idea that as technology grows and becomes more popular it

will start to have an impact in almost every aspect of human life. It has become a necessary tool for

communication, entertainment, and information. The authors state they will study parental mediation

and how students with ADHD interact with the Internet opposed to those who do not have ADHD. The

research conducted involved a questionnaire that asked the habits of the groups when on the Internet

alone and with supervisions along with other variables. Although the data showed that both habits

looked very similar, it also showed that the parents of adolescents with ADHD showed more internet in

the Internet usage. As a conclusion, the authors claimed that overall Internet use among obsolescent

with ADHD and normal adolescent were basically the same. Students would generally search for

information when doing schoolwork, and go to social media sites when they had nothing to do.

Purpose of this sources shows how the Internet can still be sued by both adolescents with ADHD and

normal adolescents and that there generally is not a danger difference in Internet use.

Deursen, Alexander van, and Stefan van Diepen. "Information and Strategic Internet Skills of

Secondary Students: A Performance Test." Computers & Education 63 (2013): 218- 26.

Academic Search Complete. Web. 12 May 2013.

In this scholarly source, the authors are researching the effectiveness of Internet usage among students.

Many schools do not require technology course that reaches Internet skill because it is not a

requirement of the current curriculum. However the authors do state that having these skills is

beneficial for the students as it can prepare them for future courses. They wanted to findthe levels of

strategic Internet skills among secondary students and what factors influence levels. An observational


2/5

study was then taken in which subjects were asked to complete assignments on the Internet. Results

showed that generally the older a student was the tests were completed faster and had better scores.

Nonetheless, the amount of students that did well showed that there is room for improvement. They

claimed that informational and strategic Internet skills should be included as standard components of

the educational curriculum, but only with specific requirements. I intend to use this source to explain

how teacher should be trained and notified about special training that effectively helps in developing

and teaching strategic Internet skills and that new educational maternal needs to be implemented that

could help with students and how they use sources on the Internet to finish assignments.

Gencer, Suzan Lema, and Koc, Mustafa. "Internet Abuse among Teenagers and Its Relations to Internet

Usage Patterns and Demographics."Journal of Educational Technology & Society 15.2 (2012):

25-36.Academic Search Complete. Web. 29 Apr. 2013.This scholarly source discusses the connections between demographic characteristics and Internet

usage patterns among teenagers that were from Turkey. The location of this test is explained by Turkey

only now rapidly becoming a digitized country. The method used to obtain the qualitative data involved

a survey including three main parts. The first part asked for a typical bio of who the student was, the

second asked about Internet usage, and the final part was an Internet Addiction Test. Results showed

that a majority of the students used the Interne once a day and that 33 percent used it for

communication, information, and entertainment. The article also provided a list of symptoms that

students felt after an overuse of the Internet. Example being Think of life as boring without the

Internet and Lowered productivity. Conclusions state that there is concern of how Internet usage

interferes with social, psychological, and academic developments. The study also indicated the Internet

abuse is dependent on gender and academic achievement. I intend to use this source to explain how the

Internet is being used to those who are not experienced with Internet skills and functions and how it

effects their usage.

Hinic, Darko, Mihajlovic, Goran, and Dukic-Dejanovic, Slavica . "Internet Addition in relation to

cognitive or somatic Depression Symptoms."Journal of Cognitive & Behavioral Psychotherapies

10.2 (2010): 187-97. Academic Search Complete. Web. 30 Apr. 2013.This scholarly source attempts to questions of how Internet use correlates with many mental

disorders that have recently become big issues. The authors then list many problems that are befalling

populations and that are being blamed by the Internet. The authors then state they will focus on

Depressions disorder with the hypothesis of there is no statistically significant difference between

those diagnosed with depression and Internet addictions. Researchers then conducted questionnaires

studying levels of Internet use and addictions among participants who had recently asked for help for

problems with depression. Results showed that those more depressed were more likely to be addicted

with the Internet, however researcher inferred that only a part of the participants with excessive Internet

use reported depressive problems at the same time. The journal concludes that there are many factors

that lead to depression, Internet addiction not being one. However, the authors do say that Internet

addiction has more influence in birthing somatic symptoms, like exhaustion and other physical wearies.

I will use this source by explaining that depression and many other mental disorders are not an effect of

the Internet, but that there are only physical wearies as an outcome.

MacMillan, Amanda. "Internet addiction linked to ADHD, depression in teens." CNNhealth.com.CNN,

5 Oct. 2009. Web. 22 Apr. 2013.This source discusses Internet addictions and defines is not as an official diagnosis. It claims that there

are only signs of a potential problem include using the Internet so much for game playing or other

purposes that it interferes with everyday life and decision-making abilities. The study's indication that

children who are hyperactive or diagnosed ADHD are finding an outlet on the Web makes such perfect

sense," a researcher says, because those children crave the constant stimulation of fast-paced video

games and interactive social networks. Research cited claims that there is a significant amount of


4/5

children that deal with ADHD issues by using the Internet and that further problems can arise. The

article concludes that parents should be wary of how their youth diagnosed with ADHD interact with

social media and Internet resources. I will use this source by explaining how the Internet can fuel some

mental disorders and that many students with these disorders need to be supervised. This will be in the

segment where the counter argument argues against my thesis.

Myers, Courtney Boyd. "How the Internet is Revolutionizing Education." the next web insider. The

Next Web, 14 May 2011. Web. 29 Apr. 2013.This source explores the concept of how the Interne has established itself in the modern world and that

it should be established in educational environments. The author describes how many top tier

universities in the US have adopted this method and that virtual schools are becoming a real deal.

Many statements from educators claim that there are gaps between higher education and general public

and that with some help from online resources things can better for the future. Researcher claim that the

old school system is deterring the potentials among students and that if educators can fully implement

and correctly use Internet services to its full potential, a significant rise in better education can occur.

This will be used to help shed some light on the many benefits the Internet can provide. Also to give

examples of schools that are effectively using technology already to their advantage.

Oktan, Vesile. "The Predicitive Relationships Between Emotion Management Skill and Internet

Addiction." Social Behavior & Personality 39.10 (2011): 1425-30.Academic Search

Complete. Web. 22 Apr. 2013.This scholarly source examines the psychological and emotional effects that Internet addictions seem to

be a cause of. The author starts be discussing the importance of healthy psychological development for

youth and that it enables them to adapt emotionally well in society in contrast to those who are in risk

of failure with adapting. The study used an Emotion Management Skills Inventory and a Problematic


5/5

Internet Usage Scale which measured emotional management skills and the correlation with internet

use. Results showed that there was an observable connection where those with high and with average

Internet use scored lower in the EMSI test. The researchers concluded that the Internet can be a source

of accomplishment and people tend to hide from their fears and emotions while on. I will use this

source to explain how there is a positive correlation with how the Internet effects the psyches of

students. I will use this in the counter argument segment.

Peou, Chivoin, and Lwin, May "Integrating the Internet into Cambodian Higher Education: Exploring

Students' Internet Uses, Attitudes & Academic Utilization."International Journal of Emerging

Technologies & Society. 9.2 (2011): 95-115.Academic Search Complete. Web. 30 Apr. 2013.

This scholarly source explores the idea of implementing Internet and cyber resources to students in

Cambodia. Cambodia is described as not having any serious dealings with Internet educational use and

so researchers argue that perhaps something should be done. They hypothesize that by providing these

services, students will be able to gather information and do better in classes. The research performed

included finding how students utilized and felt Internet services. The researchers wanted to see the

motivations the students had and see how information seeking, entertainment, and socialization all

compared. Results showed that although students enjoyed the social aspects the Internet provided there

was an observable under-use of the Internet for educational and teaching purposes. Researchers

concluded that educational sessions would be required for to teach the students how to fully utilize the

Internet for any hope fore improvement in education. I will use this source by showing how there are

positive effects of introducing the Internet to students. I will explain how there is some issues with

distractions but will rebuttal by explaining for the need of teachers that can teach responsibility.
