The shift from "then" to "now" in education reflects the evolution of pedagogical approaches and the impact of technological advancements.
Teachers have transitioned from being the primary source of information to facilitators of learning.

more interactive, utilizing technology and various media. Instruction now focuses on skill development and real-world applications and is differentiated to meet diverse learning needs.
These changes reflect the ongoing evolution in education, driven by the changing needs of society and advancements in technology. The shift towards a learner-centered approach has made learning more interactive and effective, better preparing students for the real world. It's a testament to how education has adapted to the changing times and continues to evolve.
