Abstract
Recently, emerging technologies gained widespread popularity in the education area. Especially in the current pandemic situation, they enable expanded access to education and improve the learning experience. Therefore, it is necessary to study innovative technologies and how to utilize them in the teaching-learning process. A survey about technology usage in classroom settings and a literature review of various technology-based teaching practices are the basis of an analysis of the application of emerging technologies and their impact on the education process. The opinions of Bulgarian teachers on the pedagogical use of information and communication technology (ICT) tools in schools are considered. Also, the studies about using technology-enhanced teaching in school education are examined. The goal is to assess and outline those emerging technologies that could be part of future smart school education. Findings from the survey concerning the application of emerging technologies in school education are also presented. The results obtained can inform teachers about innovative technology tools and their potential to make the teaching-learning process more engaging and smart.
