Abstract

Modern age brings developments which are very useful for people helping them with their
jobs and everyday activities. The use of modern teaching aids in schools and colleges is one
of those changes that came with the modern age. Technology plays an important role in
today’s education system.
In comparison to old days, there are many new opportunities for teachers as well as for the
students today. To use this, teachers started to replace their old aids in teaching with the new.
The old teaching aids include blackboard with a chalk. That was everything what teacher
could use while teaching. Those were very hard and monotonous times because students just
had to sit and listen to their teacher. Those past times were also very hard for teacher as well
because he did not have many opportunities to make lesson more interesting to his students.
The situation today changed a lot. The old times of blackboard and white chalk are slowly
disappearing. The board is still there but it is much enhanced.
Technology became to play a very important role in today’s education. Improvement of
technology led to many new inventions which teachers started to use in education. In this way, education advanced to a degree where teachers get many new aids together with an
opportunity to make their lesson more interesting to students. The students could also use
those inventions in order to help them while learning and doing their home works.

modern teaching aids in commerce. To fulfill the objectives, data will be taken from final
semester students of commerce. Through this paper, the researcher will try to elaborate the
value of commerce from students’ point of view and will also try to elaborate how practical
application of modern teaching aids will enhance the value of commerce for students.
