2. Introduction
• Technology has changed, and will continue to change,
the world of education. While there are certainly
purists out there using a chalkboard and gradebooks,
many teachers see the benefits of using new
technologies in the learning process.
• While there are a lot of education apps and software
out there, choosing the right tools for your classroom
can help students be more engaged and invested in
lessons. Educational apps, if used properly, can easily
replace more traditional teaching methods with
moving animations, interactive content, and even
virtual reality experiences.

3. Benefits of Using Software and
Applications in Education
• The lines of communication between teachers,
parents, and students are hugely important to the
learning process
• Lessons delivered through a student portal or app
can be accessed at any time, essentially extending
the classroom to students’ homes (24X7).
• The environment these days, education software
and apps are certainly helping contribute to a
healthier earth. Basically, less paper handouts,
worksheets, and tests means less waste.

4. Learning Management System (LMS)
• Learning Management Systems (LMS) serve as
a central hub where teachers and professors
can upload and organize course material for
student access. Schools and universities use
learning management systems to reduce the
use of paper, as well as make documents
available out of the classroom. Learn more
