This master's thesis examines and presents the historical development of the incorporation of technology, first in the social and then in the educational space, and the resulting changes in educational practice. It presents the topic in three parts. The first presents sociological theoretical perspectives on the relationship between man and his technological environment and goes on to present contemporary technological changes dictated by the new media. Finally, it touches on two important social problems, also linked to the educational sphere, namely the diminishing supremacy of writing and the externalisation of memory. In the second part, the thesis moves on to more concrete examples of technological change in educational contex and presents the historical development of modern educational technology in Slovenia from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. In the third part, we focus on an overview of the orientations of key policy documents at the European Union and national level, which represent support for the adaptation of education and training systems to what they call the "digital age". In the concluding section of the text, we reflect the documents' intentions from a broader pedagogical perspective.
