  The integration of technology into teaching is the most challenging modernization nowadays. Although it is highly useful and effective as it saves class time, saves teachers' effort, and makes teaching and learning easier as well as more enjoyable and fun, but there are many difficulties and obstacles that hinder such applications. Using technology in classroom for explaining lessons using google slides or powerpoint with the aid of projectors is highly efficient as teachers can use many useful tools and present content in an interesting way to students which keeps them more engaged and on-task. Many applictions such as poll everywhere, quizziz, nearpod, padlet and many others can also be used in classroom with students to complete exercises, review materials, and assess students understanding of the lessons explained. The use of technology in class allows teachers to have more control over the teaching process as they can monitor students behaviors more efficiently while completeing a task online and gives them the oppurtunity to correct errors in explanatory videos before introducing them to students. For students, the use technology in classrooms makes learning more exciting and interesting for them as they use it daily at home and find it entertaining and enjoyable. Teaching with technology increases students' engagement in the learning process, enhances collaboration and interaction between them, and keeps them focused.

In addition to this is the unavailability of internet connection in schools which is necessary for the success of such applications and projects.
