The Future Classroom: Leveraging Technology for Enhanced Educational Practices

Abstract

Technology has been evolving for the better of humanity, and advancements in technology have been ongoing with an immense speed. As a crucial part of our lives, technology is being extensively used in many spheres of life. Owing to the numerous benefits it provides and the contributions it makes both to the teaching and learning processes, technology has also become a controversial topic in education recently. Technology entails numerous advantages in the 21st century; however, it is the pedagogy that differentiates the educational processes. Hence, teachers play a critical role in effectively exploiting technology for educational purposes. Education 5.0 requires educators to become technology-literate and use instructional technologies to enhance the effectiveness of education and humanize technology, exerting ongoing effort and making continuous reflection. The objective of this chapter is to explore the most innovative pedagogies, methodologies, and strategies educators can exploit while integrating technology into instruction. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
