Digital technology in teaching and it's influence on today's education

Budući da se digitalizacija društva ubrzala početkom 21. stoljeća, trendovi su doveli do raznih oblika i vrsta digitalnih tehnologija i nove generacije potrošača koji otkrivaju svijet i komuniciraju s njim kroz digitalni uređaj. Osim raznih oblika i vrsta digitalnih tehnologija, javio se pojam "novih medija" koji se mogu promatrati kao kulturni proces koji odražava društvenu transformaciju jer mijenjaju način na koji se ljudi diljem svijeta zabavaljaju i konzumiraju informacije, a tu pripadaju i popularne društvene mreže. Današnje generacije digitalno su vještije i digitalno prilagođenije nego što je bio slučaj prije, stoga u tu priču dolaze studenti i učenici koji koriste razne vrste digitalnih tehnologija i novih medija u edukativne svrhe.. Upotreba digitalnih tehnologija za učenje i poučavanje dugo je bila nedosljedna te se značajno razlikovala između predmetnih disciplina, razina studija, načina predavanja i institucija. Iskorištavanje mogućnosti e-učenja znantno se razlikuje ovisno o dobi, spolu, predmetnom području i instituciji, stoga je cilj ovog rada preispitivati navike studenata, prednosti digitalnih tehnologija u obrazovnom procesu i stavove o pogodnositma za komunikaciju studenata, ali i moguće rizike u implementacijiSince the digitalization of society accelerated at the beginning of the 21st century, trends have led to various forms and types of digital technologies and a new generation of consumers who discover the world and interact with it through a digital device. In addition to various forms and types of digital technologies, the concept of "new media" appeared, which can be seen as a cultural process that reflects social transformation because they change the way people around the world have fun and consume information, and this includes popular social networks. Today's generations are more digitally skilled and more digitally adapted than it was before, so students and pupils who use various types of digital technologies and new media for educational purposes come into this story. The use of digital technologies for learning and teaching has long been inconsistent and varied significantly between subject disciplines, levels of study, delivery methods and institutions. The use of e-learning opportunities differs significantly depending on age, gender, subject area and institution, therefore the aim of this paper is to review the habits of students, the advantages of digital technologies in the educational process and attitudes about the benefits for student communication, but also possible risks in implementation
