  To sum up, the evolution of advanced technology in modern classrooms has transformed our education system. It has certainly influenced independent online learning, collaboration and resource sharing among keen learners breaking down physical barriers altering the way students and teachers engage in learning. This shift in the education system has made education more effective and enjoyable to learn. In this digital era technology has a great potential to enhance educational engagement and information exchange between educators and learners. Introduction of technology has redefined the role of educators and provided access to educational and online resources. However, it is important to know that technology’s impact is not without drawbacks. Equity in learning and access to high quality education is a challenge because of unequal access to resources owing to several factors. To address this issue, one must provide equal access to available resources and opportunity to learn.  

The biggest challenge to equity in education and learning for students is inequality in access to resources. Compared to their peers, some students have limited access to important resources such as digital books, educational materials, and technology, which hinders their participation in learning. There is a gap in academic achievement and there are limitations in personal and professional development. Due to the lack of equal acce ss, students may not receive guidance and support from teachers to achieve good academic results, which may result in lower academic performance. They will also face challenges such as access to quality education and lack of adequate resources. The inability to pursue higher education or career development due to financial constraints can also lead to changes in educational attainment and personal development. According to Reardon (2013), social and economic mobility are still largely influenced by education. Disparities in opportunities, wealth, and well

Technology in modern classrooms is undeniable as it provides students with access to vast amounts of educational resources .It also provides access to digital libraries and online resources. In this digital era  students can explore the available  wealth of education resources like online libraries, E-books, online data, research papers, articles, digital textbooks and online interactive learning platforms' easy access to information empowers students to go deeper into subjects, broaden their knowledge, and engage in independent self learning. According to the Office of elementary and secondary education (2013), technology is used to support both teaching and learning. It provides classrooms with digital learning tools like computers and handheld gadgets, expands the range of available courses, experiences, and learning materials, supports learning, fosters the development of 21st century skills, boosts student engagement and motivation, and speeds up learning. Thus through the ex

The role of technology in the modern classroom has redefined the role of educators which enhance the learning experience of students. This means that the role of teachers has changed from teaching to that of facilitator and guide in the integration of modern technology in teaching and learning. According to Kapadia (2023) ,  student-centered learning has taken the place of teacher-centered learning in schools, and this approach celebrates each student's individuality and promotes autonomous inquiry, active engagement, and critical thinking. Students are better equipped to comprehend the subject matter because they are now in charge of their own education. This clearly shows that the role of the educator has shifted from a source of knowledge to a facilitator of learning experiences. It enables students to take ownership of their own education. Teachers are embracing technology as an ally in this digital age. They create dynamic classes that capture students' interest and take i

  The role of technology in the modern classroom has redefined the role of educators who enhance the learning experience of students. This means that the role of teachers has changed from teaching to that of facilitator and guide in the integration of modern technology in teaching and learning. The emphasis in classrooms has changed from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning and this method values the uniqueness of each student and encourages independent inquiry, active engagement and critical thinking. Because they are now in charge of their own education, students are better able to understand the material at hand. (Kapadia Viren, 2023) This clearly shows that the role of the educator has shifted from a source of knowledge to a facilitator of learning experiences. It enables students to take ownership of their own education. U.S. The Department of Education (2017) states that educators have nearly unlimited opportunities to select and use technology in ways that conn

  Role of technology in the modern classrooms and its impact on student learning. The introduction of advanced technology is one of the greatest wonders of humankind that has revolutionized education in our society. Technology has fundamentally changed the way the students and teachers approach education. The modern classroom is no longer confined to physical walls, instead technology has opened up a world of possibilities, shaping the learning experiences of students. From personalized learning to ever-evolving digital landscape, technology’s influence is both far-reaching and transformative. With the enhancement of technology, Learning has become much more effective, fun and fruitful at the same time. The implementation of modern technology has drastically enhanced student learning as it has redefined the role of educators and provided access to educational resources. On the other hand, it has also exposed the negative impacts such as unequal access to resources.
