This goal is based on the results of observations that show technological developments in education such as the development of various types of applications that teachers can use in the learning process. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. Data collection is carried out through interviews, questionnaires, and direct observation. The data sources that became respondents were six Indonesian teachers. The data is in the form of interview results related to teachers' reflections on the use of educational technology, its impact on teachers and students, and the teachers' future views on the use of technology in learning. The collected data is then grouped, analyzed, interpreted, and concluded. The results show that using technology, such as interactive learning applications and digital devices, has increased student engagement in learning literacy concepts and facilitated access to various learning resources.  The use of educational technology, such as interactive learning applications, educational videos, and digital devices, increases students' interest in learning literacy. As many as 85% of teachers surveyed explained that their students become more active in reading and writing when technology is used in the classroom.
