The teaching strategies which makes use of technology in the classroom. The key point in delivering quality learning using these, is the efficiency of the teacher. The question is, how efficient are teachers in using these techies? Can teachers get along with his students in terms of using multimedia?

               According to several studies, there is a large percentage of teachers nowadays who are not capable of using multimedia in classroom teaching. Hence. It is more alarming to know that students are much more knowledgeable than teachers in terms using computers, laptops, cellphones and tablets

               To address this alarming issue, teachers themselves should be aggressive in learning the ABC’s of technologies in the classroom. There are several trainings and workshops provided by both and public sectors which will train them in using these gadgets and integrate their knowledge in the schools. But definitely, the constant use of these devices and consistent determination to learn will be a great help in solving the problem.
