Technology is now widely used as an instructional tool in classrooms rather than just a subject of instruction. It can engage and motivate students by allowing them to collaborate, access current information online, and make learning more fun through virtual lessons and tablets. However, teachers still struggle to integrate various technology tools into the curriculum and there are challenges like student distraction, safety issues, lack of face-to-face interaction, cost and time concerns, constant software updates, and technology problems. Careful implementation is needed to maximize the benefits of technology in education.
