Abstract

During the last several decades, incorporating technologies into school spaces has captured great interest and consensus and contention. The high-tech development is spurring rising disruption of historical models of learning and teaching. This paper will discuss the multifaceted role that technology still has in education, examining both the advantages and disadvantages of how technology is reshaping our teaching and learning practice. The intersection of technology and education has transformed the traditional classroom into a dynamic and interactive learning environment. This paper explores how technological advancements have reshaped pedagogical methods, enhanced accessibility, personalized learning experiences, and bridged geographical and social divides. From the integration of artificial intelligence and virtual reality to the widespread use of e-learning platforms and mobile applications, technology is not just a supplement but a central pillar in modern education. The paper critically analyzes both the opportunities and challenges of this partnership, including issues of digital divide, data privacy, and pedagogical training. It concludes by emphasizing the need for an inclusive, well-regulated, and innovative approach to harness the full potential of technology in education.
