The specific hardware and software used for teaching and learning may vary, but common hardware tools include computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards, projectors, etc.
Software solutions often encompass learning management systems (e.g., Moodle), office productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace), and educational applications for subjects like mathematics and language learning.

The Hardware I used is Laptop and the most common software i used for learning is ZOOM. The main challenge I faced with these two technologies was it’s expensive and also data connection has to be there. At times, when we really need to have good connection but the weather also does not favour us, so we have to wait for another time.

Technology in teaching take better advantage of what will given it out to the students. And how to do a good job of keeping up with all the work. Teachers in general tend to feel pretty overwhelmed. Adding a requirement to teach how to use technology would be difficult to implement. Teachers professional development tends to focus on pedagogical techniques to teach a concept and engage students better. I think teachers are willing to learn but given how overwhelmed we can be it works best to have some kind of PD to develop those skills

25

We use a LMS along with software for synchronous sessions such as zoom. The challenge is that these can be costly to purchase and difficult to maintain. We also have issues when the electricity supply and internet access are unstable.
