Abstract
In the rapidly evolving educational landscape, digitalization has emerged as a pivotal force shaping both pedagogical approaches and student engagement. This manuscript explores the transformative impact of digital technologies on contemporary education, emphasizing the dual role these technologies play in both enhancing and challenging traditional learning environments. By analyzing the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in classrooms, this paper highlights how digital tools can be leveraged to foster interactive and student-centered learning. It also addresses the complexities associated with shortened attention spans and the need for adaptive instructional strategies. Furthermore, the manuscript delves into the potential of emerging technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR) and gamification, in revolutionizing educational practices, thereby creating immersive and engaging learning experiences. The findings underscore the importance of educators adopting a proactive stance towards digitalization, ensuring that both students and teachers are equipped to navigate and thrive in this digital era.
