Technology will reshape the learning experience

FULHAM, U.K. - EntSun -- Technology is changing the dynamics of education, particularly the relationship between children and teachers. Educators are beginning to rethink the learning experience and among the growing trends in education is the use of laptops, tablets and other devices. As recently as a few years ago, mobile devices were used almost exclusively as a substitute for handouts, books, paper and pens. Today these technologies are beginning to transform how teaching and learning take place.

Much of the information being taught is now available online. This means teachers have time to do the part of the job that technology can't do - empathise, connect and work with children to get the best out of them. Technology frees up their time by handling the routine tasks that a teacher doesn't need to be doing - more administrative-based tasks. If schools utilise technology on these repetitive or time-consuming tasks, such as routine marking, reporting and record keeping, it will ensure teachers are freed up to get on with teaching. I believe technology may well re-emphasise the importance of a teacher's role in their classroom, not diminish it.

Technology allows students to collaborate in new ways, question the world around them, connect their work with the world, create products that demonstrate their understanding and wonder about new topics they encounter. All these new innovative ways have made learning and teaching more interesting and enjoyable.

When children engage in computer science and technology, they are not just learning to code or learning how to become software engineers. They are developing creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will equip them to thrive in the future workforce - a workforce where 77% of jobs will require strong technology skills.

These days it is rare to go into a classroom that does not come equipped with an interactive whiteboard and there is little doubt that classrooms will continue to see technology taking front and centre stage. However, we must remember that it is people who transform education, not technology and any technology in our classrooms of the future will need to be underpinned by a clear educational philosophy.
