Driven by the demand to increase learning opportunities, educators and trainers are continually challenged to develop and integrate instructional delivery options and reduce costs without impacting instructional integrity. Our students have changed radically. Their life is surrounded by computers, digital music players, video cams, cell phones, and all the other toys and tools of the digital age. As a result of this technological development and their interaction with it, today’s students think and process information differently from their predecessors. For them a packed classroom equipped with, chalk and blackboard, text books, old curriculum and a teacher explaining abstract concepts with the limited tools at her disposal will be non-tolerable. There is an increasing need and demand to respond to diverse students’ needs and provide engaging and meaningful learning experiences in education. Technological innovations are having a significant impact on educational systems at all levels. Online courses, teaching aids, educational software, social networking tools and other emerging technologies are disrupting the traditional classroom environment. A descriptive survey method was used for the study and a sample of 100 graduate students was randomly selected. Questionnaire prepared by the investigator with expert advice was used for collecting the data. Analysis of the data showed that the graduate students showed medium awareness towards latest technological practices.
