The survey focuses on students from the latter years of primary education in Sweden and their thoughts and attitudes towards their use of internet during class. Over 200 students answered an online-survey with 13 questions about how much, for what, if the use in some way affected them negatively and finally in which ways we should work with internet in education. To analyze the results of the survey the essay uses the theoretical views of cognitivism and constructivism as a basis when concluding what the students think about internet in education, and why they think so. The results of this essay conclude that the students do not generally see the unsanctioned use of computers and smart phones as problematic, but if it is a problem it is to be solved by the teachers, in various manners. Prior research, as well as this paper, find that the results of the already low achievingstudents are the most affected in a negative way. This might create an even bigger dividebetween students but could be diminished by teaching both students and teachers the correct way to use technology and the internet in schools.
