7. Technology infuses classrooms with
digital learning tools, to increase student
engagement and motivation; and
accelerate learning.
It always helps shape the learning outcomes
of the learners and make them responsible,
autonomous and gives them ownership of
their work.

8. Technology also has the power to transform teaching
by ushering in a new model of connected teaching.
This model links teachers to their students and to
professional content, resources, and systems to help
them improve their own instruction and personalize
learning.

authentic examples of the target culture, and connect their
classrooms.
