There has been an increase in the use of technology in the 21st century. There are many sectors that have revolutionized by adoption of different types of technology. In the education sector, technology has been used to assist learners with disabilities and as a method of delivering different types of content. The use of technology enhances learners’ attentiveness and guarantees positive learning outcomes for students. It is also important because it assists teachers to organize content into presentable formats that can be ideal for different audiences.
The advent of technology, such as computers, iPads, phones, televisions, and the internet has changed the way teachers interact with their students. There are several ways that teachers have been able to use technology to helps students with their social, cognitive, and motor skills. A child that has been exposed to technology can multitask and perform duties more effectively.

Having exposure to technology helps a student develop their critical thinking skills and to be more logical.
The use of interactive media in education has played a vital role in helping children who have a hard time with their motor skills.
