ADVANTAGES AND RISKS OF THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT IN EDUCATION: EXPLORING THE TECHNOLOGICAL MODEL

Abstract

This study investigated the integration of collaborative tools and emerging technologies in education, focusing on virtual reality and artificial intelligence. The problem addressed was the suitability and effectiveness of adopting these technologies in the educational environment, highlighting the associated benefits and challenges. The general objective of the research was to analyze how these tools have transformed pedagogical practices and to identify the ethical implications involved. The bibliographic research reviewed relevant literature to understand the impact of these technologies on education and the challenges related to their implementation. The analysis revealed that collaborative tools promote an interactive environment, while virtual reality provides immersive experiences that enrich learning. Artificial intelligence showed potential for personalizing education, although its adoption requires careful ethical considerations. The conclusions emphasized the need for further studies to deepen the understanding of ethical implications and to evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies in various educational contexts. The research contributed to a clear view of the impacts of these tools on education and provided insights for future investigations.
