This approach not only enhances academic achievement but also equips student needs. Technology so far has recorded some improvement in education and this has resulted in greater demand on educators to incorporate digital tools in their practice to support more flexible, and relevant learning opportunities. However digital technology cannot be assessed without proper knowledge and skills, hence the need for it to be integrated in the educational programme and emphasis laid on the acquisition of necessary digital literacy skills that will enhance the effective utilization of these educational technologies in the classroom. This paper thus looked at the various concepts that run as inculcating, digital technology, classroom and life-long learning. Prospects, agents and challenges envisaged in the innovation were discussed.
