In fact the impact of new technology in education has been very positive, so it leads to huge change in the entire educational field for better method of teaching. So teachers have an important role to play at the intersection of technology in 21st century skills. As we know during the pandemic period recently. E-learning gave a good idea in the execution of online learning due to lockdown. To diminish the lockdown effect the teachers started to think of new way of communicate with the student. The educational institution has taken the necessary steps to continue the teaching learning process at modern day trend in educations. The concept of e-learning described in a lot of literature sources. The basics of this definition of e-learning are combination, implementations and relationship of the activities for learning and reaching from different electronic media such as in distance and open learning. Rapid development helped in creating a modern educational environment like electronic and distance learning, online learning, computer based learning etc. E-leaning offers opportunities to encourage education towards creating an environment where student and teachers can share their experience and awareness. Teachers play an important role in the integration of e-learning in education. Their attitudes towards e-learning have significant impact not only for students but also on the education transformation. So we can say that attitude has an important role to change the traditional learning approaches to e-learning. As a result of ability to communicate globally and the information explosion, education must change. Most educators might not want to change, but the change is coming-it is a matter of when not if. The current teaching paradigm of the teacher as processor or transferor of the information is shifting to new paradigm of the teacher as a facilitator or guide. This new role of teachers will provide contextual learning environment that engage student in collaborative activities that will require communication and access to information that only technology can provide. E-learning is the learning method using technology and is a broad technical discipline aimed at helping all learners gain knowledge in every corner of the country.
