**1. Introduction**

Technology transforms education, changes how, when and where students learn, and empowers students and educators at every phase of their teaching and learning voyages. Technology is known for creating opportunities for students to learn online and cooperate through the exchange of ideas and experiences. Technology provides massive accessibility to an abundance of information without boundaries. The use of mobile devices or devices like laptops, tablets, smartphone, and computers are already a ubiquitous element of everyday life for students and educators to access unlimited digital learning materials. Conversely, teaching and learning using technology make students personalise their learning, technology gives power to students by giving them ownership of how they absorb information, making education applicable to their digital lives as digital natives (twenty-first-century students) for lifelong learning. Consequently, we cannot compare the students of the 16th century with the students of the 21st century, because technology has changed considerably [1]. With technology, students can easily access an endless supply of online learning resources outside of the classroom, inspiring them to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, and creators. With the help of technology, students can acquire the skills and competencies necessary to become 21st-century human resources. However, technology has its challenges, particularly when it comes to human resources, resources and implementations. The challenges facing technology in the education sector are budget constraints, lack of proper training of educators, weak network infrastructure and coverage, educators not willing to use technology and afraid of technology, load shedding, unreliable and incompetent mobile devices and software. Due to the use of portable devices and the inexperience of educators and educational institutions, students might encounter disruptions or diversions from their studies as well as ineffective teaching methods [2].

Teaching and learning technology tools like Virtual Reality (VR), Video conferencing platforms, Online textbooks, eBooks, Education technology, Asynchronous learning, Synchronous learning, Hybrid technology, Smart video cameras, television and others can make classroom and virtual classrooms more exhilarating. It is expected of educators to acquire cutting-edge knowledge and diverse approaches to use technology as a tool to improve the learning environment, support their instruction, and help students learn through it [3]. The use of technology in teaching and learning may additionally promote a more diverse classroom where students are encouraged to work together and be curious. With access to online pertinent content, learning applications, real-time student data, and more, technology could enable students to achieve new heights. With the use of technology, educators can develop blended learning platforms and environments, influence digital tools for formative and summative assessments, and introduce a new approach to teaching and learning in both traditional classroom settings and visually impaired classrooms. Television used in the classroom is a great help for young and old students as it is a great tool for online teaching and learning. It can help students find more interesting and fun in learning.

In his article, Borysiuk [4] listed the following advantages of using information technologies in the classroom: (1) stronger motivation and interest in learning; (2) individualization of instruction; (3) objectivity of control; (4) activation of learning through the use of visually striking and quickly evolving forms of information presentation; (5) development of skills and abilities for creative endeavours; (6) training of information culture; (7) developing the ability to make operational decisions in complex situations; (8) giving students access to information databases so they can find information fast; (9) a rise in the quantity of assignments finished; (10) reinforcement of independent study; (11) increased motivation and mental activity as a result of the variety of activities, which may include playing games; (12) increased information flow; and (13) new chances for students to participate more actively in the learning process thanks to online education. Additionally, according to Borysiuk's article [4], using information technology has the following benefits: (1) it fosters greater collaboration; (2) it offers limitless resources; (3) it aids in the development of future-ready skills; (4) it conserves valuable resources; (5) it updates information instantly; and (6) it takes up little space.
