The term Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is concerned with using technologies to support learning whether in school, workplace or at home through the use of instructional materials like smart boards, projectors, educational Ipad/tablets etc.This research is an attempt to find out the impact of how TEL is deployed in teaching the vulnerable children in boko haram ravaged communities in the north east.The survey method was used in conducting the research and the data consists of some purposively selected schools in the north east to identify the truth or otherwise in the deployment of TEL in teaching the vulnerable children.The study also exposes the complexity arising from systemic alienation, disempowerment and hardship facing the IDPs and public schools in Northeastern Nigeria culminating into the dynamic effects on the educational deprivation of the Nigerian children.Based on the findings, recommendations were proffered and prominent among them include the need for Government as a matter of urgency provide appropriate equipment and materials needed for effective TEL programs in all the Federating units.Both federal and state ministries of education, human resources and agencies interested in children education should be made to initiate programs aimed at promoting TEL activities in all schools.
