The use of technology in education has been a topic of discussion for many years, with the hope that it can revolutionize learning and improve student outcomes. While digital resources have been reported to increase student motivation and engagement, evidence of their impact on student learning is still limited. It is essential to rethink pedagogy and explore the pedagogical possibilities of digital resources beyond traditional subject teaching and individual knowledge acquisition.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained renewed interest in personalized learning, but there are serious ethical implications and concerns about a potential loss of control over the learning process. Teachers should be trained to capitalize on assessment data that instructional software makes available, and training and support should pay more attention to classroom management. Efforts are required to ensure that teachers effectively and responsibly use student learning data
to inform their practice.
Digital resources can provide opportunities for collaborative and experiential learning, allowing students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical, communication, teamwork, and leadership skills, which are essential for success in the 21st century. Digital resources can enable students to interact with real-world problems, conduct experiments, and analyze data.
In conclusion, the use of digital resources in education holds great promise, but it is important to consider the pedagogical possibilities of these resources. The use of technology should serve the aims of humans, and teachers should be equipped to effectively and responsibly use student learning data to inform their practice. Educators must continue to explore the pedagogical possibilities of digital resources to ensure that students are prepared for the challenges of the future.
