As a teacher, everyone is familiar with our
own traditional method teaching of chalk and talk in front of the
blackboard. But now, we are living in the digital era. This
generation of students is more immersed in digital usage for
everything.
They
are searching and getting all the materials from Google and youtube.
From there, they are getting very excellent materials in the form of
notes and videos. You will make them understand everything very easily by using
visual presentations.
Now
we are not living in the digital era. We are living in the online
digital era. If you want to download any video of 400MB, now you can
download within 2 to 3 minutes. But this was not possible for 10
years back. At that time, you need to wait for about 3 to 4 hrs.

future also. Why is it plays an important role? Web internet
technology is transformed into the web application technology. Most
of the application software is converted into an app and some more
will add-on to it in the near future.

living in an era of online software. Whether we are using these
digital technologies in our classroom? If not, how to use that
technology for our class student's development in their classwork,
assignment, quiz, study material, online video or study link, and
