Ed-Tech: The Future Of Education
Even though technology has found its way into the smallest crevices of the industries of the world, teaching and learning being one of them, the ‘Education’ industry exhibited a good amalgamation of both technological advancements and traditional practices. A solid example, quite simply, resides in the existence of books and the act of gathering students in a classroom, albeit smart. This, however, does not diminish the profound effect of technology on how education is perceived and delivered in the modern day.
