There have been some changes and we have digital classrooms and computer labs, but our teachers, hardly use any modern AI-enabled teaching tools for the benefit of students,” said Singye Wangchuk, one of the delegates Wangchuk said, here on Saturday, that with education being funded by the government, technology would have to be introduced in classrooms keeping the budgetary limitations in mind.Pema Choder, another delegate, said that there were some tools and devices, especially gaming devices, which can be introduced to make learning more fun. “Gaming devices could be used to make teaching and learning more fun and we hope that they would also improve student-teacher interaction,” she said.They pointed out that the main task would be to enable teachers to acquire new skill sets to adapt to the changing scenario.“The changes are inevitable and we have to find a way to enhance the tech skills of our teachers, the problem is not with the students as much,” observed Keizang Lhansdo.
