Individuals of all ages are inevitably affected by today’s technology. The main purpose of this study is to explore the objectives of 8th grade students related to the utilization of multimedia instruments ranging from personal computers to the Internet use while they are doing their homework. Specifically, it tries to find out whether there is a significant relationship between «for what purposes 8th graders use multimedia tools» and «which personal traits are reinforced while doing homework with multimedia tools?», where gender differences were also taken into consideration in the analysis of the related items in the questionnaire form. The population of the study is made up of 435 students who were randomly selected from five secondary schools in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. As a data collection method, a questionnaire form with a set of related research questions was used. Findings from the study show that 8th graders in their use of multimedia platforms are provided with a more interactive and independent learning environment where they can find more learning aids while accomplishing their homework objectives. Gender-based evidence from the study shows that digitally, male students are more active and they exploit the fun side of homework more compared to their female counterparts. Las personas de todas las edades se ven inevitablemente afectadas por la tecnología de hoy. El principal propósito de este estudio es analizar en los estudiantes de octavo grado la relación entre los cambios experimentados en la utilización de los instrumentos multimedia y el uso de los ordenadores personales e Internet mientras están haciendo sus deberes. En concreto, se trata de averiguar si existe una relación significativa entre «para qué fines los estudiantes de octavo grado usan herramientas multimedia» y «qué rasgos personales se refuerzan mientras hacen los deberes con herramientas multimedia», y esto, teniendo también en cuenta las diferencias de género en el análisis de las partidas recogidas en el formulario de preguntas. La población del estudio se compone de 435 estudiantes elegidos aleatoriamente de cinco escuelas secundarias en la ciudad de Estambul, en Turquía. El método utilizado para la recolección de datos consistió en un cuestionario con preguntas relacionadas con la investigación. Los hallazgos del estudio evidencian que los estudiantes de octavo nivel que utilizan las plataformas multimedia reflejan un ambiente de aprendizaje más independiente e interactivo en el que encuentran un respaldo mayor mientras realizan sus tareas. Atendiendo a la perspectiva de género, el estudio muestra que, digitalmente, los estudiantes masculinos son más activos y desarrollan más el lado divertido de las tareas que sus compañeras
