"The Role of Technology in Education During Pandemic"

Someone well said, 'We are changing the world with technology'. As we know that education institutions are closed due 'COVID19' and technology is playing an important in education i.e, the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology). ICT enables the teachers to connect with their students and conveying the lectures through online with the help of gadgets e.g, mobile phone, tablets, laptop etc. Due to the advancements of technology we are able to use ICT applications which are helping the educational institutions to stay in touch with students in such pandemic situation e.g, Zoom, Google meet, MyClass etc. 

If we were in such situation before 2010, then it would be impossible for every educational institution to run their classes and students would get diverted from their studies. Thanks to scientists who are endeavoring in technological advancements that helps in welfare of mankind. Now a days, there are many websites such as Coursera, Eudemy, Byju, Vedantu etc. which are providing online courses  for every human being on this earth without any physical and geographical barriers. Some of them also provide certificates after the completion of course for free. We know that every person is working though online at home and they are connected with their companies or institution just because of ICT. But there are some economical and networks issues for students who belongs to remote areas and some of them don't have technological gadgets. I hope every country would become developed and do more advancements in technology in the future so that every student get quality of education and become a better human being in the society. ICT is also playing an important role in climate change on earth, by keeping e-books in mobile, tablets etc. reduces the cutting down of trees that are used in paper manufacturing industries. I hope every country would enable to implement virtual and augmented reality in the classroom so that the wastage of material in laboratories could be reduced. At the end I would like to say that technology is boon to us.
