Integrating technology in history education: digital pathways and transformative practices aligned with nep 2020

History is one of the core subject in Secondary school education.Teaching history effectively can be challenging at higher education levels due to conventional methods often causing dullness. As a result, students lose motivation to excel, which leads to disinterest in the subject. Employing varied teaching methods helps keep students engaged and fosters a more profound comprehension of historical concepts. Emerging technologies encompass innovative developments and transformative advancements encompassing multiple disciplines, characterised by nascent integration phases. These technological innovations present transformative potential, capable of offsetting entrenched industries while concurrently offering inventive solutions to contemporary challenges. Their dynamism emanates from their capacity to reconfigure established paradigms, creating unprecedented opportunities. Nascent advancements at the forefront of scientific and technological progress exhibit potential to facilitate groundbreaking shifts with resonance across multiple sectors. These technologies adoption become focal points of engagement, exploration and investigation. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes the use of technology in education to foster interactive and multidisciplinary learning. Integrating technology in history classrooms enhances engagement, critical thinking, and historical analysis. This paper explores the alignment of technology integration with the goals of NEP 2020, focusing on digital tools, quality education, gamification, and artificial intelligence to transform history education.
