Introduction of Technology

Technology is the branch of knowledge

that deals with the creation and use of
technical means and their interrelation
with life, society, and the environment,
drawing upon such subjects as
industrial arts, engineering, applied
science, and pure science.

classroom can have a great impact on
the learners. The main advantage of
incorporating tablets into the school is
the possibility of fitting various
learning tools into a convenient,
portable package. Technology should
become part of a lesson in every class.

talents and skills to research and report
their findings.
