Here are some reasons why technology needs to be an indispensible part of education in the current scenario:
-Expands Time and Place
True that technology is no substitute for teachers but the educators even in the boarding school are only available for a limited span of time. However the need every student for a teacher might vary. In this light technology can compensate for this. Depending on the potentials of a student he might also feel the need to know beyond the textbook and classroom as per his interest. Technology in the above mentioned cases works wonders equipping the students with all they need.
-Maintaining a personal pace and sequence
There can be no point of disagreement in the fact that the classroom is constituted of students coming from varied environment, cultures and all subjected to a different style of learning. Some might be too quick and others may need time to grasp some newly introduced concepts while the teacher goes with a standard and average pace. In both these situations it is only with the help of technology can students match up and cater to their requirements.
