FROM THE BLACKBOARD TO THE DIGITAL AGE: REVOLUTIONS AND CHALLENGES IN THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

The transition from the traditional era to the technological era involves a sequence of significant changes in different aspects. Technology was absent in the early days, unlike the technological era, which is marked by the advent of the internet and electronic devices. The transition between these two eras shows evolutions in the way of living, working, communicating and learning through the boost of technology. It is worth noting that technology in education underwent an accelerated and intensified process of integration during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to considerable transformations in teaching and learning. The challenges faced included the lack of access to technological devices, difficulties with internet connectivity and the need to quickly adapt to new digital tools. In contrast, the solutions involved training teachers, developing accessible educational platforms and implementing innovative pedagogical practices. Therefore, this study aims at the need to explore this path from traditional education to the education we have today, which is endowed with technology. In addition to analyzing the positive and negative impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the educational system.
