When we talk about school technology, the use of digital tools and platforms to support teaching and learning in K-12 education. Also known as educational technology, it includes everything from projectors in rural classrooms to AI-powered apps in private schools. It’s not just about having computers—it’s about how those tools actually change the way students learn and teachers teach.
edtech, a broad category covering software, hardware, and services designed for education, has exploded in India over the last five years. Schools now use digital learning, instruction delivered through online platforms, apps, or interactive content to make lessons more engaging. Teachers aren’t just reading from textbooks—they’re using videos, quizzes, and real-time feedback tools to track progress. And it’s not just for elite schools anymore. Even government schools in smaller towns are getting smart boards, tablets, and internet access through national programs.
But not all tech works the same. A smart board won’t help if teachers aren’t trained. An app might look fancy but fail if it doesn’t match the curriculum. That’s why the best classroom tech, tools directly used by students and teachers during lessons are simple, reliable, and tied to real learning goals. Think of it like this: a calculator doesn’t teach math—it helps students do math faster. The same goes for any tech in school. It should remove friction, not add it.
What you’ll find in the posts below are real examples of how schools in India are using tech right now. From how eLearning stages actually play out in a classroom, to which learning apps students use daily, to whether online degrees are trusted by employers—these aren’t theory pieces. They’re grounded in what’s happening on the ground. You’ll see what works, what doesn’t, and what’s coming next. No fluff. Just clear, practical insights from teachers, students, and edtech users across the country.
