CHALLENGES, IMPACTS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ON MODERN EDUCATION IN 21ST CENTURY

Abstract: This article looks into how current, widely used digital technology might assist learning in educational institutions and contexts (and, in some cases, alter the nature of provision). It is stated that in order to fully make use of the opportunities and possibilities provided by digital technology both now and in the future, teachers must change their attitudes and behaviors. The findings showed that there are a lot of kids who use technology because internet mobile connections are so widely available. As a result of technology's value and relevance to the educational process, pupils have a high level of computer proficiency. Students agree that using technology into classroom discourse is beneficial because it piques their interest in the topic at hand. Furthermore, students' everyday use of social media demonstrates the value of technology as an educational tool. This has been greatly influenced by students' increased exposure to the media. Despite the negatives, students still find social media useful in the classroom since it can excite the attention of others and inspire them to learn. Instructional delivery and assessment may need to change to accommodate students' needs in the twenty-first century
