The transition from a normal chalk duster environment to a technology loaded classroom has been gradual yet motivational in Indian classrooms. Nowadays the need of technology is motivating and inspiring the teacher’s which in turn is engaging and interactive for the learners.

For instance the smart classroom products designed to empower the students & teachers are providing accessibility to knowledge resources along with ease of interaction. On the other hand the advancement in technology has made it possible to open avenues of online learning and teaching platforms. One such technology of Virtual classroom has made the dream of accessible education possible regardless of remotest locations & removing the need of any infrastructural arrangement. Students can join the classroom sitting at any place wherein teachers can teach, share course materials & take tests from a single point.

One of the many aspects of technology has changed the modus operandi of school management too.

So, Instead of debating whether technology has reached a point where it can replace human teachers, we must ponder over what aspects of their responsibility technology can handle to enable our nation builders make delivery of knowledge more innovative, interesting and engaging. Technology can never replace a teacher completely. A teacher is responsible for shaping up country’s future & nurtures them carefully. They advocate a student’s concerns and counsel them for every query coming up in their growing mind early on. Students & parents place their trust in teachers to push students to do their best in their related fields. Technology can never involve emotionally in a student’s growth.  So, it’s better to focus on placing technology as an aid which could fuel them in these efforts. In nut shell Technology must be built to enable teachers, not replace them.
