Digital Technology Use: A Requirement for Nursery and Primary School Effectiveness

Abstract

The study explores digital technology use, an essential tool for achieving nursery 
and primary school effectiveness. The stated goals and objectives of nursery 
and primary education necessitate a tool called digital technology use which 
could be harnessed to make teaching and learning more engaging and 
interesting to pupils. To curb ineffectiveness in the nursery and primary school, 
the study employs diffusion of innovation theory to examine digital technology 
use for effective instructional delivery. The study is hinged on Diffusion of 
Theory (DOT). The review highlights the critics of using digital technologies at
the foundation level and suggests the way forward such as pupils should be 
monitored both at home and in the school as to the number of hours allowed 
for digital technology use, as this will help curb the lack of social interaction 
that too much dependent on technology use cause since this will enable self assimilation and confidence in the nursery and primary school.
