Technology plays an important role in both teaching and learning. If technology is used
effectively, it can provide more access to resources, make teaching and learning more
effective, and increase administrative efficiency. The use of technology in schools supports
the traditional classroom environment, opens the classroom to the outside world and
symbolizes the success of the student (Gülbahar, Y. 2007) When it comes to technology,
the lessons are different for students. Students like visual examples rather than just reading,
and their interest in the lesson increases. When there is technology in teaching, it makes
lessons such as finding different resources and doing different activities productive.
Recently, online classes are very common, students are attending online classes for
certification.Technology is used as a tool to improve the learning process.(.Raja, R., &
Nagasubramani, P. C. 2018)
