(1) Why is it necessary to use Technology in Education?
From ‘Rishiparampara’ to various online education platform people using different or rather to say implement various method in teaching. Today, where we are living, technology is everywhere, entwined in almost every part of our culture. It affects how we live, work, play and most importantly how we learn. Thus Technology has already changed the world, including the way we learn and teach. When used correctly, classroom technology can have a supremely positive impact on student outcomes at every grade level.
Here, some examples that how technology is necessary in classroom.
1.Technology makes teaching easy
2.Technology helps to track students’ progress
3.Technology makes distance learning more accessible than ever before
4.Students and teacher can access information at any time!
5.Technology makes collaboration more effective!
(2) What is the difference between 'using' and 'integrating' technology?
The main difference between using and integrating technology is, to using technology means to be a downloader and integrating technology means to be a performer in digital platform. In short to be a downloader to uploader.
Teachers often use technology in the classroom. However, the goal of educational technology is not only for teachers to use technology but also to integrate or incorporate technology in teaching. By using modern devices and online learning tools, some teachers think that they are already successful with technology integration, but in reality, they are only using technology to teach students but not to engage them entirely with what they are teaching. Thus, it is important for all teachers to understand the differences between technology use and technology integration.
(3) How we integrate technology?
Teachers, administrators, parents, and students alike are being told that technology is the whetstone with which we can all sharpen our education system. Technology can open doors, expand minds, and change the world. But as I said that not only downloader make it possible, One should make it part of his/her everyday life and when students also become uploader of such useful educational material on cloud (which can helpful to everyone from any corner of world) than we can say that this is the integration of technology.
Thus, Integrating technology into the classroom not only helps prepare students for the elaborate and technologically-connected world they will face going forward, but it can also help simplify complex ideas that might otherwise be a struggle to learn (and a struggle to teach) with textbooks and a chalkboard.
(4) Can Technology replace Teacher?
Technology can open doors, expand minds and change the world. But it doesn’t mean that technology replace a teacher. We need teachers who are part of adopter, integrator and part mad scientist! The modern teacher must be willing to take chances and able to figure out how not just how technology works, but how it works for each student, and where its use is most appropriate.
It is certain that classrooms are changing, and without a doubt they will look quite different in five or ten years than they do today. New technologies are being developed quickly. Though it is question that Will MOOCs, Coursera or a similar online learning concept start to take over? Will we have robots for teachers?

(6) Name one web-tool which can help in development of all four L-S-R-W skills.
Technology has changed the learning environment so that learning is more hands on. And there is various platform which can help in development of LSRW skills. In my case I found that Blogger and YouTube is very much beneficial in enhancement of all four LSRW skill. Blogger is useful tool to improve our writing and reading and in other platform like YouTube is the best web tool to improve our listening and speaking skill.
