Currently, in modern society there is a global process of computerization and informatization of almost all aspects of life, as society is rapidly developing towards the transition to an information society, in which information resources, technologies for their storage and transmission play a key role. As the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh. M. Mirziyoyev noted: “For the purpose of sustainable development, we must deeply master digital knowledge and information technologies, which will give us the opportunity to follow the shortest path to achieving comprehensive progress. In today’s world, digital technologies play a decisive role in all areas.” [1] The history of information technology dates back long before the emergence of the modern discipline of computer science, which appeared in the 20th century. Information technologies are associated with the study of methods and means of collecting, processing and transmitting data in order to obtain new quality information about the state of an object, process or phenomenon. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan has recognized the power of digitalization in transforming society, while the global pandemic has made this transformation necessary. Main part. Uzbekistan began to prioritize the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and digitalization in the early 2000s. For example, the country initiated the “Comprehensive Program for the Development of the National Information and Communication System of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the period 2013 – 2020”, the National Action Strategy for five priority areas of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017 – 2021, the Strategy “Digital Uzbekistan - 2030” and “Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026”, aimed at implementing digital transformation in the national economy, industry and society as a whole. In 2022, large-scale work was carried out in our country to bring ongoing reforms for the further development of digital technologies to a new level. In particular, comprehensive measures have been developed for the widespread introduction of digital technologies in the sphere of public administration and economics, as well as improving the standard of living of the population with their help. Uzbekistan has risen significantly in international rankings of world digitalization in 2022.

The introduction of new learning tools using technology such as mobile devices, smart boards, MOOCs, tablets, laptops, simulations, dynamic visualization and virtual laboratories has changed education in schools and institutions. The Internet of Things (IoT) has been proven to be one of the most cost-effective methods for educating young minds. It is also a robust mechanism for integrating world-class learning experiences for all. Education technology companies are constantly trying to create new solutions to expand access to education for people who cannot access adequate educational opportunities. Social media has come a long way as a learning tool. A large number of teachers and students use social media as an important element of the overall e-learning process. Traditional classroom instruction does not provide an immediate learning environment, faster assessment, and greater engagement. On the contrary, digital learning tools and technology are filling this gap. Some of the performance indicators that such technologies provide are simply unmatched by traditional learning methodologies. As smartphones and other wireless technology devices become popular among the general public, it makes sense for schools and educational institutions to make good use of them when integrating technology into the classroom. Indeed, the adaptability and unobtrusive nature of modern technology makes learning more attractive to the next generation [3] The COVID-19 pandemic, isolation and quarantine are three concepts that have recently entered our vocabulary. People all over the world are aware of the catastrophe caused by the coronavirus epidemic. In the current crisis, digital technology is at least keeping the education system afloat. Students study from the comfort of their own home.[4] Integrating technology into education provides students with an engaging learning experience, allowing them to remain more interested in the subject without getting dis
