Digital Divide: One significant challenge is the digital divide, where students may not have equal access to the necessary devices or a stable internet connection. To alleviate this challenge, educators can adopt a blended approach, providing both online and offline resources and ensuring that essential content is accessible without internet connectivity. Schools and institutions can also collaborate with local authorities to improve internet infrastructure in underserved areas.

Tech Literacy: Not all students or educators are equally tech-savvy. Overcoming this challenge requires investing in digital literacy training for both teachers and students.

Teacher Workload:
Introducing technology into our teaching practices can be overwhelming and potentially increase our workload. To alleviate this, I propose that schools invest in dedicated professional development time for teachers. This would allow us to learn and adapt to new tools and methods, ultimately making the integration of technology into our teaching more seamless. Additionally, we can foster a collaborative environment where teachers share their experiences and resources, lightening the individual workload.
