Abstract:
The integration of technology in education has transformed traditional teaching methods, allowing teachers to design more meaningful and engaging lessons. This article explores how different technological tools, such as digital platforms, interactive applications and multimedia resources, allow teachers to improve their lesson plans, accommodate different learning styles and improve student results. Technology facilitates a more personalized learning experience by providing access to a wide range of resources, allowing teachers to differentiate instruction and promote student-centered learning. Additionally, platforms such as educational apps and online collaboration tools allow for real-time feedback and communication, which help teachers track student progress and make data-based adjustments to their teaching strategies. teaching The article also highlights the role of technology in promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills through interactive simulations, virtual labs, and gamified learning experiences that make abstract concepts more tangible and relevant. However, the effective use of technology in education requires appropriate training and support, as well as an awareness of potential challenges such as digital equity and screen time management. By understanding and using these tools effectively, teachers can create more dynamic and effective lessons that prepare students for a technology-driven world.Keywords:
