Technology in the classroom means no more one-size-fits-all approach to education. A great advantage of today’s technology is that lessons can be personalized according to students’ needs.
A teacher can track in real time the progress of individual students, allowing the teacher to focus on the student who may be struggling while others work at their own pace.
Students who are engaged in their classes due to the use of technology are no longer passive learners, but ones who have an active role in the classroom. Children are able to make choices where to find information, how they will use it and how they will present it. The teacher is still ever present as a coach or a facilitator who will set goals, and provide guidelines and resources, but is no longer the centre of attention as a dispenser of information.
