TECHNOLOGIES AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN EDUCATION

Education is changing very fast right now. This change is called "Digital Transformation." It is not just about using computers in class; it is about changing how students learn and how teachers teach using new tools like the internet and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Right now, schools around the world are facing a big problem. Many students are not learning the basic skills they need. A report by the World Bank says that we need to use digital tools to fix this "learning crisis." However, using technology brings its own problems. Some students have great computers and fast internet, while others have nothing. This is called the "Digital Divide." Also, new tools like ChatGPT (Generative AI) are making it hard to know if a student actually wrote their own essay. At the same time, staring at screens all day is hurting students' mental health. This research paper looks at how these technologies are changing schools. We will look at the good parts, like better learning, and the bad parts, like stress and unfairness. We will also use data to see if having the internet actually helps students get better grades.
