Trial About Technology
Teachers can provide instruction beyond the standard "stand and deliver" method, utilizing tools such as
online videos, interactive demonstrations, class surveys, and educational websites to expand their
communication and address myriad types of learners
Students can learn at their own pace, helping increase their level of comfort with both the topic and the
learning environment in general

pace
