Teachers and schools had to lead this sudden, unexpected digital transformation of children’s basic education, without being fully prepared for it. Even though digitization in education has already been a hot topic for ages within a variety of disciplines and digital tools are already being used extensively in schools, teachers, schools and educational administration must be recognized as leaders in digital transformation and change. are poorly designed to act as agents, i.e. in situations in which “digital technologies are likely to trigger strategic responses from organizations create disruptions that seek to alter their value creation path while managing structural changes and organizational constraints that affect the positive and negative outcomes of this process”, especially when it is all so fast.

A great burden was also placed on children and their families, who suddenly had a wide variety of skills, competencies, and resources.

When normal classes resume after the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and learners should be encouraged to continue using such online tools to enhance teaching and learning.
