Abstract
Gone are the days when classroom teaching and learning was restricted to textbook learning, teachers using the blackboard to explain things and students writing down notes in diaries. The education system in India has become modernized, making way for digitalization and thus, taking the place of traditional classroom teaching and learning. Digital Education is accompanied by technology or more specifically by instructional practice that makes effective use of technology and thereby, gives students some element of control over time, place, path and pace so far as their learning is concerned. On the one hand, it empowers students by getting them to be more interested in learning and expanding their horizons, on the other hand it has enables teachers to customize learning sequences for each student and thus, making teachers' tasks much easier. But its expansion at national level is not that much easier due to factors like increased cost of education, basic infrastructure, and lack of sincerity in policy planning and implementation.
