Answer 1

The schools should understand the basic principles such as the technology should be used to develop the knowledge of core content and at the same time should support the innovative teaching and learning by having research-based ways and apply practical aspects. The technology should help to have a robust education support system which helps to develop the instructional and management competencies. The schools can provide learning opportunities to their student such as -
