The integration of educational technology into teaching and learning has become increasingly prevalent in modern education systems. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration of educational technology in educational settings. It examines the potential benefits of educational technology, such as increased student engagement, personalized learning experiences, and access to a wealth of resources. However, it also discusses the challenges that educators and institutions face, including technological barriers, resistance to change, and concerns about equity and access. The paper highlights strategies for addressing these challenges and maximizing the opportunities presented by educational technology integration, including professional development, strategic planning, and ongoing support. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of thoughtful implementation and ongoing evaluation to ensure that educational technology enhances teaching and learning experiences effectively.
