Technology in the Classroom

As you might have noticed, today's classroom is quite different from before with the chalk blackboards and the vinyl slides to present in class. Now, we have easier ways for teachers to present their class and for students to learn and be engaged in the lesson. Such ways are connected with technology... What we must look forward to is the combination of traditional learning with technology, this is called Blended Learning. Use every piece of technology to enhance the class.
