Technology is transforming the way students learn in our nations and world classrooms. As a result, education system is changing to accommodate a world of digital natives. The use of technology is one primary tool in teaching and learning.
Students must be given the skill needed for their own learning and for critically assessing the array of fast information from the digital world and rapidly changing global environment.

Teachers are responsible for juggling knowledge of where students are and where they need to go; having insights into students' special needs and progress; choices of curricular activities and materials; rules that govern children's participation; expectations from parents and communities; and the norms and rules that govern them as teachers. The addition of technology further complicates the equation and presents many new
questions. This consideration has made teachers and schools postpone the implementation of technology in their curriculum.
