Synthesis of the Reviewed Literature and Studies
Accordingly, the related literatures and studies just reviewed provided guides and directions necessary for the researchers to meet the desired objectives.
Technology has impacted almost every aspect of life today. Technology has profoundly changed education in many ways,. For one, technology has greatly expanded access to education. In medieval times, books were rare and only an elite few had access to educational opportunities. Individuals had to travel to centers of learning to get an education. Today, massive amounts of information (books, audio, images, videos) are available at one’s fingertips through the Internet. Opportunities for communication and collaboration have also been expanded by technology. Traditionally, classrooms have been relatively isolated, and collaboration has been limited to other students in the same classroom or building. Today, technology enables forms of communication and collaboration undreamt of in the past.
According to Zuckenburg (2016) “What defines a technological tool - one historical definition - is something that takes a human’s sense or ability and augments it and makes it more powerful. So, for example, I wear contact lenses or glasses; that is a technology that enhances my human ability of vision and makes it better.”
The findings of the other studies reviewed by the researcher had presented a relevant study to our research which will rate our study high and make our study more credible and reliable. It also has the identical or similar findings of the other related studies.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter describes the method of study, the respondents, instruments used, and the statistical tools applied.
Method of Study
Descriptive-Correlation method of research was used by the researchers. It is used to describe the characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied.
According to Ed Forest (2001) Descriptive research does not fit neatly into the definition of either quantitative or qualitative research methodologies, but instead it can utilize elements of both, often within the same study. The term descriptive research refers to the type of research question, design, and data analysis that will be applied to a given topic. Descriptive statistics tell what is, while inferential statistics try to determine cause and effect. According to Devin Kowalczyk (2013) a correlation is simply defined as a relationship between two variables. The whole purpose of using correlations in research is to figure out which variables are connected.
