Costly hi-tech kit lies unused in schools, says study
When I read this article
I could instantly picture the environment and schools going through
this transformation. No matter which country you are in, the
emphasis of every Ministry is more or less the same. That is to
equip schools and students with technology so that they know how to
use it. Children in the first grade are given tablets and I believe
it is not used to its potential. The article points out that
teachers need to receive the right training and view technology as a
tool. The emphasis has to be how do we use this technology to help
children learn better. Often it is confused with learning the
technology itself which is insufficient. Being in the digital era
and equipping classrooms with technology but emphasizing everything
in test scores are in itself a paradox. Schools and teachers should
use technology that they are comfortable with and most importantly
consider the reasons they need to use it. That is the only way they
can take teaching and learning to the next level.
