The challenge of technology in the classroom, an uncertain but necessary paradigm in a digital reality

Until relatively recently, the norm in a school, high school or university class was for the teacher to enter the classroom and begin to give the lesson with a view to a theoretical exam. This is known as teaching or rote learning. The student must retain in memory the knowledge on which he is going to be examined after some time. But with the massive integration of Digital Technology (DT) today, which is very present in almost all areas of life, this methodology is becoming somewhat outdated (1). This does not mean that it is necessarily obsolete, but that it must be adapted to the circumstances prevailing in today's world. But all change entails risks, and in some cases, these can get out of hand. We must learn to coexist with technological progress without it having a pitiful impact on the most sensitive fiber of society and on the most economically disadvantaged sectors. A balance must be sought between technology and education so that they do not harm each other.
