Abstract: The promise of digital technologies is greater than ever, but not if teachers aren’t able to use them effectively. Significant challenges have been raised about the use of technology. With the easy access to the Internet, it is not unusual for students to surf Internet, chat online, and check emails and so on while teachers lecture. Does Internet access affect student performance on learning outcomes? If so, do we need to control how students use computers in classroom? If we cannot control students from accessing Internet, then how to maximize the benefits the digital technologies have brought to us and minimize their side effects on the learning environments? This study is to examine how Web browsing influences classroom learning. Experimental design will be deployed to understand how Web browsing profile will intertwine with task relevancy and personal characteristics and jointly influence student class performance.
