The creation of projects is much easier since technology brought new tools that supplant the paper. In short, technology in education has made learning easier, more comfortable, and even affordable. The digital age does not stop, so teachers and specialists must be aware of new technologies to prepare their students. It is also worth mentioning that the benefits of educational technology are numerous.
