Abstract

This study explores the transformative impact of education technology (EdTech) on modern learning environments. Focusing on applications such as online learning platforms, personalized learning tools, and gamification, the research highlights EdTech's role in enhancing engagement, accessibility, and data-driven insights. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis were used to collect qualitative data from educators, administrators, and EdTech providers. The findings reveal substantial benefits, including improved student engagement and flexible learning options, but also identify significant challenges, such as the digital divide, data privacy concerns, and the need for ongoing teacher training. Emerging trends in artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain technology are also discussed as potential areas for further growth in EdTech. The study concludes by recommending policies and strategies to ensure equitable access, protect student privacy, and support teacher adaptation to technological tools, ultimately paving the way for a more accessible and impactful educational experience.
