Summary/Abstract: Over the last decade, technology has reorganized the way we live, the way we communicate and especially the way we learn. The revolutionary breakthroughs in digital technology have deeply changed the traditional educational practice, facilitating the use of modern teaching, learning and evaluation tools. The aim of this paper is to analyse current information with respect to the usage of technologies in education and to answer three main questions, such as (a) What are the contemporary demands for learners and teachers in the 21st century? (b) What are the current trends and opportunities in using technology in education? (c) What are the benefits of modern technologies in education? Without fully understanding these issues, it is practically unfeasible to approach any subject related to technologies utilization in education.
