digital tools
Electronic productivity aids
Digital tools are software applications, platforms, or electronic resources used to accomplish tasks—word processors, spreadsheets, design programs, communication apps, and the like.
The phrase emphasizes practical utility over technical complexity: Teachers need training on digital tools before they can use them effectively in the classroom.
Often contrasted with analog or physical equivalents.
