In peasant third world countries where schools don’t have technology facilities, it is understandable that the transition to digital education may take time.
But given the rapid of emergence, of digital technology, at times referred to as information and communication technology (ICT), there is the need to prepare for bridging the digital gap in society.
First, we need to understand the potentials of ICT:• The new network
of instantaneous communication is global, overcoming borders between countries and continents.
• Much of what elders believe may not applicable anymore to the new generation, especially along matters of traditional value.
• Alvin Toffler’s book Future Shock, shows how the information age has begun to create many cultural changes in the family, societies, businesses, governments such as what he calls throw-away society, modular man, kinetic image, scientific trajectory, fractured family, surfeit of subcults, psychological dimension etc.
Since the new generations are expected to face a future professional challenge of digital world ahead of them, technology supported skills need to be taught in schools today or else, schools will become white elephant.
