15. Conclusion
Lastly I would like to conclude my presentation
by saying that, this era is known to be a digital era as
there has been a technological progress in our society.
So to be an active member of the society and to be a
modern day teacher it is a necessary that we as
student teachers gain knowledge and technological
skills and make ourselves update with the digitality of
the world. Then only we can impart technological
knowledge in our future students who will be called as
the digital natives of our country.
