In the 21st century age where everything is at the tip of your finger, the ecosystem for students and teachers to teach and learn has changed dynamically. From education being restricted to four walls of the classroom, old attendance register, blackboard and chalk it has come a long way where answer sheets of students are digitally marked, attendance is electronically recorded and 24*7 teacher support is available for students to clear their doubts. There are multiple apps for both students and teachers but it is important to know the best ones.
