In this context, it is important to pay attention to the latest theories regarding the teaching profession, educational technology, and character building that are relevant to the challenges of the times.
In recent years, many studies have shown that the role of technology in education is increasingly vital.
As expressed by (M, 2.
Educators in the digital era must be able to utilize technology to create a more interactive and engaging learning experience for students, especially for the generation known as Audigital nativesAy.
Therefore, prospective PAI teachers must not only master the teaching materials, but also have the ability to utilize technology effectively in learning.

Furthermore, research conducted by (Fauzi, 2.
mentioned that character education in the classroom is one of the important keys in building students' social character, especially in facing increasingly complex social challenges.

Teachers today are different from teachers in the past.
Teachers of the past were educators who served as the sole source of knowledge for students.
They tended to use more traditional teaching methods, such as lectures, memorization, and routine exercises, with the main focus on discipline and mastery of subject matter.
Teachers in the past were also often seen as respected authority figures, and interactions with students were usually formal.
In addition, technology is not yet part of the learning process, so teachers rely more on textbooks, whiteboards and simple tools.
Their role was more centered on directing students to obey the rules and achieve the prescribed educational standards.
Although the challenges were different, teachers of the past contributed greatly in shaping the generation of their era with strong values of discipline, ethics and responsibility.
Today's teachers, often referred to as millennial teachers, face much different challenges and dynamics compared to teachers in the past.
They are not only required to master conventional teaching methods but also to be able to utilize digital technology, such as online learning, social media, and various educational applications.
Millennial teachers are also more flexible in their teaching approach, adapting learning methods to the needs of generation Z and Alpha who are more familiar with technology from an early age.
The characteristics and habits of the millennial generation, including millennial teachers, are: first, the millennial generation prefers gadged over TV.
Second, millennials are obliged to have social media accounts.
After a study that showed that Indonesia ranked 3rd in the world regarding the use of social media.
Third, the millennial generation does not like conventional reading.
