| | AUGUST 20208Technology is an indispens-able part of our lives today. From the laptop I am using to type, to the digital network I am connected to, and how you are reading this article on the internet. It's tangible and intangible. It has permeated social, economic, and geographical boundaries at every front. Similarly, technology has also swept the education sector, with many reforms transforming the sector with new technologies such as AI, ML, AR, and VR, to name a few. All these innovations are helping transform what a tra-ditional classroom can do, and is changing the way information is consumed by the students these days.Modern Classrooms: Today, everybody is moving towards self-paced learning, with students tak-ing the onus of education on their own shoulders. With the option to use different formats of learning, education is becoming a fun pro-cess. Technology aids the process of innovation in education. There are many ways to teach the same content to students. The same tex-tual content is now shown through videos in form for documentaries and motion pictures, which aids better information retention. Vid-eos aid the process of learning even more, as it helps in register-ing the information better. Many classrooms have also adopted the use of podcasts to supplement the textual learning process. Audio and visual modes of communi-cation help in better retention of complex subjects. Globalized Learning: With the help of the self-paced learning, we can reach people beyond the walls of a traditional classroom. We can even compare our progress with global peers with the help of AI and ML. We can make learning an interactive process by connecting with peers from across countries and undertake projects for a more holistic learning.
