Abstract:
Teaching jobs are regarded as the noblest of all the professions in the world. The quality of
education in any educational institute hinges on the availability of good teachers. “Technology
won’t replace teachers. But Teachers who use technology will probably replace Teachers who
do not.” It is important to recognize that, the teachers are becoming more knowledgeable of
Information and Communication Technology outcomes (ICTs), they continue to have
knowledge or skill with which to integrate those technologies into their teaching. As the twenty-
first century approaches, the literate citizen is increasingly expected to use computer technology
to access and manipulate information. Knowing how to manage electronic information from an
ever-widening array of resources and in proliferating formats is essential. The education system
was now witnessing a paradigm shift from the traditional chalk-and-board teaching
methodology to digitizing the pedagogical approach through technical devices. A
transformation would not only increase the capability of the teachers but would also widen the
knowledge base of students so as make them competitive in the international arena. The
technology orientation needs to improve in order to equip themselves to face the students belong
to the digital era and also to face the challenges in the modern classroom.

1. Introduction
Technology is empowering students in four key ways like democratization of knowledge,
participatory learning, authentic learning and multimodal learning. As per the quotes of Ted,
“Technology is a vital part of educating today’s students and it is used whenever possible in
the classroom so that improves the overall learning environment.” Students will also need to
get acquainted with technology because they will need to use it in the future. An inspiring teacher
not only shows the right path that the students should follow but also prepares the human resource
for the further development of the nation.
