Many students were coming into school but were not getting the interest in studies. New technologies are changing the scenario to a great extent.

Sometimes, they used colorful chalks to make classes more interesting. However, the technology of digital boards has made teaching quite easy for the teachers and the students also understand the subjects in a better way. The techniques like multimedia rich, curriculum mapped, 3D contents etc. have made the class room environment much more participatory and inclusive. The teachers will give the questions in the big digital board. The students will have their own devices in hand by which they will give their answers. It will help the teachers to asses many students at a time quite quickly.

Tablets Computing:
Tablets are the gadgets like mobile phones though it is little larger in size. There are various apps related to education of the schools in these apps. In various rural schools, students are given these tablets which help them to understand the subject matter in better way. With the help of digital annotations, loud reading, and built in dictionary, reading with the help of a tablet is much more interesting and active than reading with a normal text book. If necessary the students will be able to connect the tablet with internet and thus they can gather more information.
Mobile technology:
It has come to light that, mobile phones are available to the students even in the rural areas. Now there are lots of mobile apps which can help in teaching and study.
