Abstract

The booming development of digital technologies in education changed the ways of teaching, learning, and administration providing new options in terms of access, interaction, and innovation. Nevertheless, it is also associated with the emergence of questions of sustainability, equity, and ethical responsibility of using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The current paper will discuss the term sustainable ICT practice in education, emphasizing the aspect of balancing technological innovation and digital responsibility. Based on the available literature and the new developments, the paper specifies the ways to ensure the equal performance with education-related environment-aware approach, including energy-saving gadgets, the proper disposal of e-waste, and cloud computing. Meanwhile, it also reaffirms the note that digital responsibility is not only about the environment but also on the privacy and security of data, digital wellness, accessibility, and the responsible application of artificial intelligence within the classroom.

With the research, it is further highlighted that sustainable ICT in education is not only a technical, or environmental problem but also a didactic and ethical problem. Institutions need to be sure that values of inclusivity, equity, and long-term resilience are entrenched in their embrace of capable technologies. The examples of case studies in various pedagogical settings will show how the ecological impact of digital structures can be reduced and the principles of digital citizenship can be made part of the students and the educators.

The results support a middle ground where innovation should be promoted, but unintended effects should be avoided, and the policy of ensuring green ICT purchasing, digital literacy, and ethical control of educational technologies is supported. Making an innovation responsible would help sustain a successful ICT practice that can support the current and future generations at a resilient learning environment. This paper finishes by offering realistic policies to policymakers, educators, and technologists, which they should implement and consequently promote a sustainable and responsible digitalization of education ecosystem.
