Abstract

Available literature on the use and integration of digital technologies in education place too much emphasis on variables at classroom level and neglect other areas of possible application. Traditionally, they are more concerned with the prospects and limitations of digital tools in transforming the present isolated, teacher-centered, and text-bound classrooms into rich and student-focused learning environments using mainly presentational software such as PowerPoint and interactive whiteboard software, revision software, and online content services. However, the level of studies in the area adoption of digital technologies in education administration is still in its infancy, especially that which focuses on administration and management of Technical and Engineering Education. In order to have a fairly distributed literature, this chapter presents an up-to-date technical review on the applicability of digital technologies in school administration. Specifically, it examines the vast opportunities for the adoption of digital technologies in the administration of general education and its implication on Technical and Engineering Education. These emerging technologies provide a diverse set of technological tools and resources for effective and efficient administration of Technical and Engineering Education appropriate to the changing world of work.
