The Evolving Forms of Learning and the Role of Technolog
Technology is becoming a powerful tool in shaping the future of education, but its impact is not necessarily one-directional. This session will explore the benefits that technological innovations bring to education, while also considering the challenges and concerns that arise alongside technological advancements. We will discuss how learning methods and environments are changing, whether technology is always beneficial, and what constraints or ethical issues exist in its development. Ultimately, we will seek sustainable approaches for the future of education.
