The challenges faced by students and educators highlight a critical need for research into how technology can be leveraged to improve digital literacy. To address these issues, it is important to explore how technology is currently used in educational settings and its impact on students’ digital literacy skills. Understanding these dynamics will help identify barriers to effective technology use and provide insights into how educational practices can be improved to support digital literacy development.
