But, with the sudden happening of Covid, developed countries quickly shifted to remote classes and tap on virtual tutoring and other digital-learning platform but very sympathetic most of the Nigeria schools have no infrastructure for such switch and engagement with learners while at home and before this incident teaching & learning in the educational system was predominantly carried out by the traditional mode of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and the students. Although, is a known fact to all that most of 21st Century students are digital native and they possess one form or another of mobile technological device an opportunity that can guarantee the use of it for learning by students and the teacher a medium not constraints by time and space, which could bring about learning anywhere and location given the portability and accessibility of it. Hence, the article identified & advocates for its usage for instructional process in this post-covid-period<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
