In the modern educational environment, information technologies play a
crucial role in enhancing teaching and learning processes. In biology education, integrating
advanced technologies has become a necessity to make complex concepts more accessible
and engaging. This article discusses the significance of information technologies in teaching
biology, focusing on their ability to facilitate interactive learning, improve accessibility, and
increase educational efficiency. By utilizing tools such as virtual laboratories, simulation
software, and digital platforms, educators can provide students with innovative approaches
to learning biological concepts. The abstract also highlights the challenges of implementing
these technologies and emphasizes the need for further investment in training educators and
upgrading educational infrastructure to maximize the benefits of digital tools in biology
education.
