Technology comes to rescue

Various assistive technology to cope the need of the needy students

There was a time when there were no technology and as such the life as we look from here, was terribly hard. And no body had ever dreamt that there would be a world like this. But now with the development of science, so many technology has come into this world. Technology has done wonders in the world and has made the live of people very easy. The only thing you have to do is press some buttons.
Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization. The word technology comes from the Greek These technologies have made lots of difference in every sphere of our life. And out of all these, technology has played a very important role in the field of educating children. With the help of technology, there were computers, assistive technology, softwares and the list goes on. Before the technology came into being, educating children with special needs was very difficult. A child who has a hearing problem do not have a chance to study in a school, a child who can not see like wise do not have the chance to study in school. But now with the help of various educational technologies and softwares, all the children with various physical problems can study comfortably in schools. And thats a very wonderful contribution of technology in educating children in schools.
Now a days, with the development of technology, there is virtual calssrooms. The students can learn everything without the presence of teachers actually. The whole world has been brought before the children through computer. The method of teaching and learning we have been given is totally different ffrom the present one. And I wonder how many more changes will take place in future too.
