Introduction

Technology is something that is defined by different experts and scholars in different ways. (Isman, 2012) said that technology is something that employs the functional application of consciousness, especially in a definite area and it is a process of arranging any task using technical methods, processes, or knowledge. Its practice does not only incorporate machines and instruments, but also includes properly structured relations with different humans, devices, and the environment. Technology determines its significance and that is why it is appreciated by various educators to be an important element for providing high-quality education. In today's world where technology inscribes in every field, educators necessitate going in hand with the latest trends to impart better teaching methodologies and formulate a productive learning curriculum for the learners. Technology plays an influential role in devising the teaching and learning environment. It emerges as an essential part of developing learning and teaching modules through which learners’ learning can easily be facilitated. It plays an indispensable role in improving the learning experience from the commencement program to finally delivering it (Eady & Lockyer, 2013).
