While neuroplasticity offers opportunity to adapt the sudden change in the modality of classroom transaction from face-to-face interaction to the technology mediated learning, it may wreak havoc for the growing brain of children. Additionally, searching, locating, and reading online content reduces the functional connectivity of regions around temporal gyrus, responsible for long-term memory formation and retrieval of learned material (Liu et al., 2018) . (2019) has indicated how functional changes impair attentional capacities, memory processes, and social cognition abilities in individuals. Cognitive overload, as a product of multi-method based learning and divided attention, impacts the quality of comprehension, prioritization, and deep-level processing of incoming information, which in turn, critically determines consolidation of memory into long-term memory (Carr, 2010) .
