8. Albert Einstein once stated that "Education is what remains after
one has forgotten what one has learned in school." These words
aptly reflect the fact that effective education is, indeed, incessant,
warrants constant learning, and is constantly evolving. As
educational curriculum changes, different problems and
opportunities demand different solutions - what worked a year ago
might now be not the best approach. Technological advancements
have made it possible to deliver digitized education through
contemporary platforms. New and improved delivery modes are
likely to set the stage for the next revolution in this industry. These
digital devices are foreseen to be the classrooms of the future.
