Make learning fun
Using technology is an exciting way to learn. It helps children question and discover things for themselves. It allows them to find out about a wide range of people, communities and cultures that they may not have access to in any other way. Best of all it encourages them to be creative and to work together – and we know that this can achieve better results.
How will technology help my child in the classroom?
Research shows that using technologies like learning platforms and educational websites helps pupils of all ages and abilities engage more closely with their teachers, their course work and the wider school community Also, using technology well in the classroom can help children to:
- learn at their own pace and style
- feel more motivated as they are having fun
- be more creative and independent in their learning
- improve their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
What children think about technology for learning
When we talk to children about using technology for learning, these are some of the things they tell us:
“It inspires me to learn”
“Using computers makes learning fun”
“Being able to use the internet makes project work more interesting”
“Managing my own coursework gives me a greater sense of ownership”
