AUGMENTING LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY

With the advent of technology, the education sector has witnessed great changes and transforma­tions. Technology has revolutionised the way we impart knowledge and has blurred boundaries. Today, anyone can study or take lessons from an educator, who is living on the other end of the globe through on­line and distant learning courses. Schools are slowly realising that education can be best delivered through various technolog­ical advancements the market provides. Classrooms are gradually shifting towards contemporary teaching where learning happens through computers as well as books.Technology augments the teaching skills of teachers and the learning abilities of students. Had it not been for the integration of information and communication tech­nologies, audio visual education would have been a distant dream. Its growth has reflected developments in learning theo­ries.
