Summary
Our world is currently witnessing increasing progress in information and communication technology, which affects different aspects of human life, including education. This pushes education to face a real challenge to keep pace with this technological development and participate in its making. This change forces educational institutions to offer solutions to benefit from that development and employ it in the educational structure, in line with its goals and axioms. The use of technological innovations in education has been shown to change the interactions of teachers from individual teaching to organized and collaborative team teaching [2]
