8. CONCLUSION
Technology is a valuable and versatile tool for teaching and learning. It
can act as an individual tutor and a valuable tool for a struggling
learner. But all the negative aspects of technology should be also
considered before switching on to the so-called Smart classes and Hi-tech
education system. It should be used to enhance the education by
engaging students into higher order thinking skills and not as a
substitute for teaching.
We should always remember:
Science is a good servant but a bad master…!!!!!
