Digital technology in education refers to the use of electronic devices or platforms such as social media, multimedia, and mobile phones to teach students. It has profoundly changed education by opening doors to a vast amount of information through online books, podcasts, images, and videos. Digital technology has also changed the role of teachers and students, with teachers shifting from being the main source of information to being a "guide on the side".

Here are some ways digital technology can be used in education:

• Increased access to education resources: Students can access a vast range of information and resources that were previously unavailable in traditional classrooms.
• Increased student engagement: Digital technology has made education more interactive and engaging. For instance, the introduction of gamification in education has made learning fun and interactive, making it easier to understand and remember difficult subjects.
• Personalized learning: Digital tools like adaptive learning software can help students learn at their own pace.
• Collaboration: Digital technology can facilitate collaboration among students and teachers, allowing them to work together on projects and assignments.
• Remote learning: Digital technology has made it possible for students to learn from anywhere, at any time, making education more accessible.

Digital learning technologies are those that support the digitalization of the learning experience and facilitate a move online. These technologies encompass any communication, information, and technological tools that facilitate improved teaching, development, and assessment. Examples of digital learning technologies include virtual classrooms, micro-courses, gamification, and augmented reality.

In order to achieve the promise of digital learning, each student needs access to a device, the internet, digital tools and resources, and the skills, norms, and practices to ensure digital learning is empowering, engaging, and productive.
