In modern times, the ubiquitous presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has become evident within the walls of our homes. In pursuit of a connected life, individuals today are necessarily ICT consumers. This technological landscape has introduced transformative opportunities for education, challenging the traditional teacher-to-student transmission model. The advent of new technologies presents an avenue for redefining teaching and learning methodologies, making the traditional model of teacher-to-student transmission more challenging. Information and communication technologies provide schools with a range of new information sources and data, allowing for immediate exploration for both students and teachers. The shift towards digital transformation in education therefore undermines the relevance of more conventional teaching approaches. It is imperative that students actively engage with ICT for a number of reasons. Firstly, it facilitates the acquisition of 21st century skills by promoting the development of ICT competence and literacy. Second, ICT adoption enhances academic performance, providing students with a pathway to improved achievement levels. Furthermore, exposure to ICT prepares them for their seamless integration into a society dominated by technological advances. Furthermore, the integration of ICT in education consolidates the concept of using technology as a lifelong learning tool. The digital literacy of teachers plays a key role in the effective use of ICT. When teachers possess digital literacy and receive appropriate training, integrating technology in the classroom can cultivate higher order thinking skills. It also offers creative and personalized avenues for students to express their understanding, ultimately equipping them better to navigate the perpetual technological changes in society and the professional sector. It is worth noting that integrating technology into the classroom is an intentional instructional choice that requires collaboration and personalization. The resulting benefits include an enhanced teaching and learning experience, increased student engagement and participation, access to a wide range of educational resources, and improved communication and collaboration among all stakeholders in the educational ecosystem.
