I was working West radar and had taken a hand-off from Cleveland Approach for Aircraft X. Around the same time I had taken a hand off on another aircraft inbound to Erie that was a student pilot. I was distracted by working the student pilot; trying to figure out if he was a full stop or a stop and go; so I could pass this information on to the tower. After the student pilot departed he asked to go to one of our satellite airports and then back to [an airport] which is in CLE approaches airspace. I then issued a new code for the student pilot and looked at Aircraft X route of flight. Believing I had enough time to amend the student pilot's route of flight so that is would handoff to CLE approach. I then walked over to the Arrival Data position and entered in an amendment to the student pilot's flight plan. When I walked back over to the scope I noticed Aircraft X route of flight was getting closer and closer to Dresdens (ZOB) airspace without a point out. I immediately called Dresden sector and pointed out Aircraft X. I was simply distracted by the student pilot needing help.
ERI TRACON Controller reported of a situation where he thought he had time to do a few tasks; but ended having to point out an aircraft at the last minute.
