Accounting classroom is continuously changing due to the influence of technology in both curriculum and labour market. Due to these changes, Accounting teachers are expected to integrate technology in their classrooms, since technology is viewed as an important tool in learning. In such case there is a need to incorporate it in the teaching of Accounting. However, there is general outcry about the lack of technology integration in Accounting classrooms, with teachers lacking the appropriate knowledge, skills and expertise to integrate technology in their classrooms. This article is triggered by the continuous use of traditional teaching methods in Accounting classrooms even if we are living in the 4th industrial revolution which is characterized by the dominant of technology use in everything we are doing.
