Digital technology refers to the evolving suite of digital tools used for learning, including hardware, software, and infrastructure. It encompasses productivity tools like MS Office, instructional software, computer-based learning technologies, general references, research tools, and subject-specific CD-ROMs. Productivity tools are used for creation, collaboration, and planning. Instructional software includes applications, drills, tutorials, simulations, games, and problem-solving programs to assist instruction. Computer-based learning uses educational websites and software to enhance the classroom experience. General references provide multimedia encyclopedias and dictionaries. Research tools retrieve information from online sources, and subject-specific CD-ROMs contain instructional materials for a particular topic.
