The ‘Digital World’ describes the world we live in today, the 21st century, where people are connected and stay connected through digital technologies. For example, Facebook friends, Twitter followers, Instagram followers, Snapchat friends and YouTube subscribers on the Internet. The ‘Digital World’ is also what digital technologies people use in everyday life such as headphones, mobile phones, laptops, computers, digital cameras and many more.
How Digital am I?
People use digital technology, such as mobile phones in everyday life in today’s society. Using digital technology makes my daily life easier because I can check the weather on my iPhone to decide what to wear, how long it will take to get from one location to the next using the “Maps” app and I can also watch my health by using the “Health” app on the iPhone. Mobile technologies have changed people’s lives and mine, not only have they made my life easier, I can also communicate with my family from England and still be in Australia.

The Digital World and the Classroom
Students do not engage in the classroom when teachers give lectures and hand out worksheets; however, I think with the presence of digital technologies and digital activities in which students can participate in, will make the learning process more interesting and fun. Students will focus and respond more to the learning outcomes expected by the teacher (“The 21st-Century Digital Learner,” 2016, para. 22).

Top 10 Reasons to Use Technology in Education:
(Howell, 2012) claimed that digital technologies such as computers is a great tool for teachers and students in the classroom. Teachers need to understand how to effectively use a particular technology in the classroom so they can choose the most appropriate technology to emphasise the learning outcome they want students to achieve (Howell, 2012).
