understanding of difficult concepts, particularly in STEM.
• Technology serves as tools to support knowledge for representing
learners ideas,understandings and beliefs.
• It serves as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support
learning-by-constructing. It is a social medium to support learning by
conversing for collaborating with others.

• Collaborative Learning:
Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and
learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a
problem, complete a task, or create a product.

their interest in a particular area. They are convenient both for children and
parents/teachers, as they help them to absorb the information MUCH faster

12. Modern technologies:
• Preparation and use of PowerPoint presentation
• Internet browsing skill
• Learning management system and we based learning
• Blogs
• Wikis
• Vedio conferencing
• Use of Skype in learning

13. 1. Preparation and use of power point
presentation:
preparation of ppt:
1. Highlight a take home message. A PowerPoint presentation should be basic,
