The results indicated that these technologies can foster dynamic and engaging teaching, promoting student collaboration and engagement. However, risks were also identified, including challenges related to access, privacy, and the need for adequate training to use these tools effectively. The concluding remarks emphasized the need for a balanced approach to maximize benefits while mitigating risks. This study contributed to the understanding of the impacts of digital technologies on education, though further research is needed to explore long-term effects and challenges related to digitalization. The research was conducted through a bibliographic review, utilizing a critical analysis of the existing literature on the topic.
