Educational technology is the use of both physical hardware and educational theoretics.

The chief guest Mr.P.Karunai Dass stated that new technologies are powerful tools to help teachers to meet the needs of ever-more-diverse student populations. The idea is that digital devices, software, and learning platforms offer unimaginable array of options for tailoring education to each individual student’s academic strengths, interests, motivations, personal preferences, and optimal pace of learning. Nowadays, we have the Internet in our pocket, in the form of a smart phone, which has exponentially more computing power.
