Technology

​

Technology has become a more prevalent and  progressive integration to all societies around the globe; the digital imprint and effects are ubiquitous to all cities. However, despite the strong prevalence, accessibility, and convenience of technology in our everyday lives, they continue be limited within the classroom learning environment.

​

Technology is often seen as a deficit to class learning as many educators struggle to combat their student cellular usage within their classrooms. However, this futile endeavour is insanity. There is a commonly stated proverb idiom, that "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." This philosophical expression aligns with the relentless struggles of contemporary educators in an emerging digital world when it comes to electronic devices and student engagement. However, what happens if this was not the case? Anecdotal and peer-reviewed evidence suggest that digital integration may be an essential and transformative tool for the future leaders of tomorrow (Table 1.; Philip & Garcia, 2013).

Philip & Gracia (2013) and Table 1. suggest that technology can be double-edge sword if parameters of accountability and reliability measures are altered. However, when the support is available, technological education holistically transform and evolve education for the phenomenology of digital emergence within societies. In the modern era, a good teacher may have great professional educator skills and pedagogy, but a great teacher also has technological pedagogy (Figure 1.). 

Sustainability has been an progressive movement and integration of communities in many parts of the world. The integration of digital e-learning pedagogy can be an active and prospective practice to enhance conservation and preservation of paper-based products, while innovating pedagogical effectiveness, relevancy, digital citizenship skills (Shonfeld & Tal, 2017). In addition, this waste reduction strategy has profound, positive ecological ramifications to Earth's biosphere health by limiting the carbon footprint.

​

Not only may digital pedagogy be absolutely essentially in an emerging digital age, it influences personal, social, cultural, environmental, and economic factors on a local, regional, and global scale (Cartridge World, 2018; Eshet, 2012; Shonfeld & Tal, 2017).
