How mobile apps are gripping their roots into education industry?

I personally envy with the new generation, during my school days due to less presence of technology, I used to struggle a lot to learn each subject by attending the classes, finishing & submitting the project and assignment. To complete the summer vacation homework I used to visit all the local libraries possible. Today when we look back to our days of school we remember how difficult it was to mug-up so many subjects.

Another difficulty that we used to face is during the notes making in the lectures if you missed a small thing you missed the whole understanding of the topic.

It was so hard for the teachers to address the doubts of each student and at last, the only option left would be mugging.

How students can utilize technology for the education?

Technology has an impact on each part of the education whether it is preschool, primary, secondary or the university. The use of technology in education industry is to extract the most from each of these sections. Learning has become so easy due to the presence of technology that even toddlers can interestingly learn via mobile applications. All you have to do is install the app in your mobile or tablet and give it to them; they will learn the things in minutes which you cannot teach them in months.

A student can also discuss their doubts directly in the same group. They can also involve their teachers in the discussion and have their doubts cleared. And all these features can be integrated into one single app for school students.
