Technology has become an essential component of life, being used by almost everyone with children of schooling age not left behind. In the education arena, the use of technology has been observed to increase learning opportunities as teaching applications and platforms have been developed to disseminate knowledge to students. As a result, several benefits are emanating from technology utilization in classrooms, such as ease of communication. However, the students using technology have been observed to indulge in other online activities that lead to abusive utilization of service. Technological misuse among learners and teenagers, in general, has been reported in the violation of privacy, lack of ethics when interacting online, diminishing online reputation for this age group, and cyberbullying. In other words, most students do not seem to understand the dangers associated with the irrational use of technology, which lead to cyberbullying and other atrocities. Consequently, without proper guidance, learners can easily carry these habits into the classrooms that use technology to deliver learning.
