own. Individual learning is good, because a student will not feel shy or embarrassed
when they fail to learn something. It also promotes individual research and this helps
students to deeply learn about a specific topic of interest. When we use technology we
can find more facts about a certain topic and we can learn from that topic. It also
 promotes individual learning because we can have our own technique or strategies on
how we can learn through the use of technology in our education. Examples:
Different kinds of Gadgets.
