What is the role of technology in Teaching and Learning?

I feel that technologies role is to catch students attention and to introduce the new forms of technology that we experience daily. Also I feel that technologies keep students interest because that is slowly what the world is becoming controlled by; and if education does not keep up with how students are experiencing life then we will not be able to keep up with them. It gives students a chance to be more hands on than the older models of teaching which
were books and boards.
