Digital Technologies In Education

As information and communication technology access expands in the developing world, learning technologies have the opportunity to play a growing role to enhance and supplement strained educational systems. Goal to promote an understanding of prevailing conditions that impact preparation, these latter conditions include the academic and professional development components of preparation, including their emphasis on multicultural and international issues (Oakland et al, 2014).

As (Russell 2015) says, it sought to build communities of practice that would transform the University’s learning and teaching practices and systems to address teaching quality issues in their disciplines to develop an integrated eLearning system making a substantial contribution

Several potential causes have been proposed for the slow progress in educational technology, including lack of time for staff development, unsuitability of technologies, and cultural barriers within institutions (Laurillard, 2012). And with these error bought by new tools for learning, students and facilitator need to adopt in the developing world. While teachers play essential roles in nurturing students to become ‘good citizens’ because they are the key figures in implementing education and curriculum policies in schools. The 21st century classroom is one place where change is as inevitable as it is. The mandate of the educator has always been to guide the learner. Today, as technological developments become increasingly pervasive in all aspects of life, students are often far ahead of their teachers in navigating the rapid-fire, multitasking, hyperlinked demands of life – and the classroom. They have been fully immersed in technology and are hence naturally “fluent”. While this dilemma poses a significant challenge to the training of in-service language teaching professionals (Borger, 2009), thus enabling professional as well as personal development. The need for effective in-service

Learning can employs effective multi-modal approaches that encourage open discussion, critical feedback, shared understandings, content and representations. Learning promotes continued professional learning, confidence and positive dispositions towards numeracy, opportunities for ‘risk taking’, reflection and discussion, adaptive reasoning and the development of a ‘feedback culture’ (Glenn Finger et al., 2015).We are now equipped to fight globally for the improvement of oneself and for the teachers to apply these for learners. It has also positive effect on performance especially for students with low levels of prior knowledge; they can engage and explore new tools for learning. Although, some students are not adequately prepared for entry-level. But it sets motivation for students, to face the computer environments where they can build and explore; it also develops knowledge and
