Education Technology: Tools, Challenges, and How Schools Are Adapting

When we talk about Education Technology, the use of digital tools and platforms to improve teaching and learning. Also known as EdTech, it includes everything from learning apps to full online academies—and it’s reshaping how students learn and teachers teach. But it’s not just about having smart devices in class. Real change happens when the tech actually works for teachers, students, and schools—and too often, it doesn’t.

Take Google Classroom, a free online tool schools use to assign work, give feedback, and track progress. Many schools avoid it—not because teachers don’t want to use tech, but because of hidden problems: weak internet, no training, privacy worries, or systems that don’t talk to each other. It’s not the tool’s fault—it’s the setup. Meanwhile, eLearning platform, a custom-built system for delivering courses online. is becoming a real option for schools and tutors who want full control over content, branding, and student experience. Building one isn’t just for big companies anymore. With the right steps, even a small tutor or local coaching center can launch their own in 2025.

What’s really holding schools back?

It’s not laziness. It’s not resistance. It’s logistics. Teachers are expected to learn new platforms without time or support. Parents don’t always have devices or data plans. Schools can’t afford IT staff to fix login issues every Monday. And when a tool like Google Classroom crashes during an exam week, trust breaks fast. That’s why some schools are walking away—not because they hate tech, but because the tech isn’t built for their reality.

On the flip side, schools and educators who are succeeding with EdTech are the ones who started small. They picked one tool, trained a few teachers first, and scaled slowly. They asked students what worked. They didn’t chase trends—they solved real problems. That’s the difference between adopting technology and making it stick.

What you’ll find below are real stories and practical guides. One post digs into why Google Classroom fails in so many Indian schools—and what you can do differently. Another gives you a clear, step-by-step plan to build your own eLearning platform without hiring a developer. No fluff. No jargon. Just what works, what doesn’t, and how to move forward without wasting time or money.
