How the increase in Technology in schools can help your child
As the world seems to be moving at such a fast past it seems that everything else is moving with it. The rise of the internet has happened in recent years and of course technology. It seems everybody these days has easy access to the internet or a smart phone with instant access. This is also true in most schools, with technology being an important thing for education even with younger children. It seems that more often than not technology is just a way of life for today’s children and they don’t think twice when using it like you would have done in the past. It has also become a crucial part of how children learn for themselves and also are taught.
As said earlier technology really is moving faster than ever, back in the day technology that children used was such things as cassettes and video players which seem to have been cast aside these days to make way for better and more advanced technology. Many of us will wonder these days how we ever coped without having a laptop, mp3 players and even Wi-Fi which is all something that we take for granted these days.
Technology plays a very important role in the classroom too and can help children to really get involved and interact when learning new things. In the past it was only extremely privileged schools that may have had a computer in their class room and now it seems there is many more with some primary schools having ICT Suites. Children now even in there early years at school are being taught how to use a mouse and keyboard and benefitting from using technology. It seems that even before the end of primary school children are comfortable with using things such as whiteboards and digital cameras.
ICT today plays an increasingly important role in class based learning. This is involving using a computer to learn about keyboard skills, browsing the web and learning with interactive white boards. Other activities using technology can include digital cameras and video cameras which enable children to record videos and take photos whilst making them gain full awareness of their environment. Computers in the class room and at home help children to learn new skills – from keyboard and mouse dexterity to information gathering and social media skills on the internet. However we look at it is all too apparent that increased technology is used in schools and children can benefit from it.
