Children's perspectives using ICT for Learning vs. Entertainment

I did not have a primary school student to ask, so I wrote this based on what children usually say.

The children think technology at school is fun and helpful. They said they like using computers, tablets, and watching videos because it helps them understand their lessons better. Some also said they wish they could use the devices more often.

They explained that in school, technology is mostly used for learning. For example, they use it to do schoolwork, watch educational videos, and learn new things with the teacher’s help.

But outside of school, they use technology more for fun. They play games, watch YouTube, and talk to friends or family. They said they have more freedom to use devices at home.

So, the difference is that at school, technology is for learning, and at home, it is mostly for fun and entertainment.

I asked a group of primary school students how they use technology in school. They said that at school, technology is mostly used for simple tasks such as watching videos, answering questions on the interactive board, or completing basic digital activities. However, outside of school, they use technology much more actively — for watching videos, playing games, using social media, and communicating with friends.

In my observation, there is a clear difference between how ICT is used in school and outside of it. In school, it is often limited and controlled, while outside school, children use technology more freely and creatively. This shows that schools still need to find more meaningful and engaging ways to integrate ICT into learning.

I've interviewed a grade two and three school children and ask them about technology being used in school and both of them said that they would enjoy taking and using there tablets for learning in school because they would use it to watch educational videos,doing research and using chatgpt to solve them complex problems. At school technology is used by teachers mainly to help with educational purposes such as reading, Spelling, Mathematics, and presentations. However at home technology is mostly used for playing games, watching youtube,and whatsapp chat. The students said that technology makes learning for them much easy and that the have move freedom at home to use tech gadgets. Overall, the students believes that technology is very helpful in school and they encourage the use of it in schools.

I asked a student what she thought about how technology is used in school. She said she enjoys using tablets to play learning games and watch videos that help her understand lessons better, although slow internet sometimes makes it hard to finish tasks. In school, ICT is mainly used for learning—like researching topics or practicing math with teacher guidance. Outside of school, children often use technology for fun, such as playing games or watching YouTube. For example, one student used a laptop in class to explore the solar system, but at home, she played Minecraft on her mom’s phone. Nicketa Adams

I had a wonderful chat with a bright-eyed three grader named Iqbal about technology in his school, and his perspective was so pure and powerful. He told me that he loves when the teacher uses the projector and laptop because it feels like the lesson suddenly wakes up and comes alive with colors and sounds. He explained that sometimes the words in a book are hard to picture, but when he sees an animated video of the water cycle, it suddenly makes perfect sense, like a little light turning on in his head. His favorite part, he said with a huge smile, is not just watching, but creating. He spoke of the pride he felt working with his friends to design a digital poster, choosing all the pictures and letters themselves. For him, technology is not about the computer; it is about making hard things easier to understand, building beautiful things together, and feeling truly proud of his own work.

When asked about how technology is used in their school, a group of students from a rural school shared: “We like using the tablets and laptops when the teacher lets us. It helps us understand better, especially when we watch videos or play learning games. But sometimes the internet is slow, and not all classes use ICT. At home, we don’t always have internet or devices, so we mostly do homework with books or ask our parents.” They see technology in school as exciting and helpful, but access at home is limited, making the use of ICT very different inside and outside the classroom.

Difference Between Use Inside and Outside School

Inside school, ICT is mostly used for learning activities like interactive lessons, educational games, and watching subject-related videos—but it’s limited by device availability and schedule. Outside school, technology is often used more freely for entertainment or casual learning, like watching videos or playing mobile games, with less focus on structured education.

# data[].attributes.body
I spoke with several third-grade students, and they told me they enjoy bringing their tablets or laptops to school. They admitted that sometimes they’re tempted to play, but they understand they shouldn’t do things they’re not supposed to during class. They have agreements with their teachers: after finishing a forum activity or watching an educational video, they’re allowed a short free time. Little by little, they are becoming more autonomous with their devices, and they really enjoy it when the teacher uses the videobeam to show examples or explain topics.

Well, I think technology in school is pretty cool because it helps us learn stuff in a fun way, like using tablets for quizzes or watching videos that explain tricky topics. But sometimes it can be a bit boring because we mostly use it for typing up work or doing research, and we don’t get to explore much. Outside of school though, it’s way more exciting—like playing games with friends online, chatting, or making videos. At home, I feel like I can do whatever I want with tech, but at school, it’s more about sticking to what the teacher says, so it’s not as free or creative.

Si les preguntamos a un grupo de niños de primaria sobre el uso de la tecnología en su escuela, sus respuestas probablemente variarán. Algunos niños podrían expresar entusiasmo sobre el uso de computadoras, tabletas o pizarras digitales en las clases. Dirían que les gusta usar la computadora o las pizarras interactivas para hacer las tareas porque hacen las clases más divertidas. Mientras, que otros niños tal vez no tienen oportunidades de usar tecnología, y sus respuestas serian no usamos tanto la tecnología en clase, a veces solo la usamos para investigar o mirar videos.

¿Cómo describirías la diferencia en el uso de las TIC dentro y fuera de la escuela?

Los niños pueden notar una diferencia importante en cómo usan la tecnología en ambos contextos. Dentro de la escuela, usan la tecnología para aprender, ver videos de la materia o hacer juegos educativos, mientras que fuera de la escuela, muchos lo asocian más con el entretenimiento, como jugar videojuegos, ver y escuchar series y canciones en YouTube o hablar con amigos en las redes, es decir tienen más libertad para elegir qué hacer con la tecnología fuera de la escuela, mientras que, en la escuela, se usa para aprender y seguir ciertas reglas. En general todos coinciden que la tecnología se utiliza de manera diferente dependiendo del contexto si se da fuera de la escuela es mas libre y entretenido y dentro de la escuela bajo un enfoque académico.

Students from PYP3 have mentioned how technology has changed over time. They used to discuss how their parents have been learning on chalk boards but now teachers are using digital electronic white boards Teachers are teaching students everything technical from MS Word to Google Docs and Google Slides. Students in our school are equipped with knowledge about Canva, storyboard that, Kleki and different digital tools to make them creative and well equipped for future.

Students mention difference in technology use at home and at school where teachers supervise and help them using search engines which are kids-friendly and also guide them better. At home there are little restrictions on the use of social media and not a guided path.

# data[].attributes.body
At school, we use computers and tablets mostly to learn. We do things like typing our work, looking up facts, or playing math games that help us get better at maths. The whiteboard is super cool because the teacher shows videos, and we can see how things work, like in science. But we only get to use it for school stuff, and there are rules about what we can do. At home, it is more fun! We can play games we like, watch YouTube, and talk to our friends.

When I asked the students what they think about how technology is used in their school, most of them mentioned that they enjoy using tablets and computers for learning. One student shared that he really likes watching educational math videos and drawing in various drawing apps, which helps develop his creative skills. Other students mentioned that thanks to technology, they can work on group projects with their classmates, even if they are at home. This allows them to communicate and exchange ideas at any time.

However, some students pointed out that technology can sometimes be distracting, and they prefer working with books and notebooks because it helps them concentrate. They also said that outside of school, they mostly use technology for games, chatting with friends on social media, or watching videos on YouTube. Overall, despite some distractions, most students believe that technology makes learning more interesting and accessible.

Использование технологий в школе имеет как положительные, так и отрицательные аспекты:

Положительные моменты:

1. Увеличение доступности информации: Ученики могут легко получать доступ к учебным материалам и дополнительным ресурсам.

2. Интерактивное обучение: Технологии делают занятия более динамичными и вовлекающими.

3. Персонализация: Возможность адаптировать обучение под нужды каждого ученика.

Отрицательные моменты:

1. Неравный доступ: Некоторые ученики могут иметь ограниченный доступ к технологиям, что создает дисбаланс.

2. Зависимость от технологий: Чрезмерное использование может привести к снижению навыков традиционного обучения.

3. Отвлечение: Легкий доступ к интернету может отвлекать студентов во время занятий.

В целом, правильное использование технологий может значительно улучшить образовательный процесс, но важно следить за балансом и обеспечивать равный доступ для всех.

As young learners in pre-k, we can see technology being used in our school to help us learn and play in exciting new ways. Inside school, we use tablets and computers to practice counting, letters, and even explore fun educational games. But when we're at home, we may use technology differently. At home, we might use devices like smartphones and smart TVs to watch our favorite shows or talk to family members far away.

Regarding the difference in the use of ICT inside and outside school, I would explain that inside school, technology is often used for learning purposes, such as interactive lessons on computers, educational games, and research projects. Teachers use it to help students understand topics better and to make learning more fun and engaging. Outside of school, technology is used for a wide variety of things, like playing games, watching videos, communicating with friends and family, and finding information about things you're interested in. While some of these activities can also help with learning, like educational apps or online tutorials, others are just for entertainment or socializing. Overall, the main difference is that inside school, technology is mostly focused on learning, while outside of school, it's used for a mix of learning and leisure activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Using ICT in the school is like having special tools to learn and do fun activities. We use computers, tablets, and sometimes even robots. We learn and do projects.

But using tablets and computers outside of school is like having cool toys at home. We can play games on tablets, watch videos on the computer, and talk to our friends on our phones.

In school helps us learn and do cool stuff together, and outside of school lets us have fun.

Difference in the use of ICT in school and outside school

# data[].attributes.body
Children may describe the difference in the use of ICT inside and outside school as a distinct shift between formal and informal settings. Inside school, ICT often involves structured learning with specific educational software, interactive whiteboards, and teacher-guided activities. Students may perceive this as a more organized and curriculum-driven experience. Outside school, ICT usage is often characterized by a sense of autonomy and personal exploration. Children might engage with technology for entertainment, socializing, and pursuing their interests through diverse apps, games, and online platforms. The informal setting fosters a more relaxed and self-directed interaction with technology, allowing for greater personalization and creativity. Overall, children may see the school environment as providing a structured and educational context for ICT use, while the outside world offers a more flexible and open-ended exploration of digital tools.

Por un lado, comentan que ellos fuera de la escuela suelen utilizar su celular para grabar videos explicando algunas clases del tema y también suelen tomar apuntes virtuales de las clases en herramientas digitales como: Canva, ppts o padlet.

After speaking to a few students about the introduction of technology in their classroom it became evident that with the pandemic teacher had to learn to use technology to deliver lesson both face to face and virtually.
Some of their responses were: Whenever our teacher uses technology to deliver lessons the sessions are interactive and fun. Another student said that when the teacher uses technology to assess them it is fun.
When they were asked to describe their use of technology in and out of school they stated the following:
*In the school our access to technology and social media is limited however at home there are little restrictions.
*At school when we use technology it is always supervised but at home there is little to no supervision.

I asked a group of students from Primary 5, aged 11. They use iPads (tablets) as a core medium of learning. My students are robotics students who take part in national competitions. They associate iPads as a form of remote controller that could programme and communicate with technology the way that the students intend to 'talk' to the robot.

How would you describe the difference in the use of ICT inside and outside school?

We are in a revolution of TikTok. They explore international lifestyles through the platform and explained how there is a difference in the playfulness of information of ICT being promoted with the use of entertainment and streams which is watched and accessed outside. However, inside the students described ICT as meaningful and serious as they know the borderline of what information that is chosen to be grasped and absorbed, and other informations that are just for their own personal use such as researching hobbies.

# data[].attributes.body
The use of ICT inside is the easiest ways of teaching. Teachers will be timely and it will be convenient for the teachers. The teacher can also post notes and relevant texts for a given course on the information system for the school or on an interactive website and there for he/she will have more time for discussions during lessons. The classroom is concerned. The use of ICT outside school learning can occur anytime and anywhere. Online course materials, for example, can be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Well the uses of technology inside school is mainly focus to help teacher to better forster our learning as children but on the other hand when uts being used outside school we tends to play game chat with friends etc if we have a positive,effect on this we would be eager to do assignment and home work using our technology

11 yr. old boy said that the digital technology used in his school helped to teach them subjects in a fun way. They also learned so much more about the  computers and tablets they were using, such as how to make videos of the lessons being taught. His favorite part was drawing on his computer using the apps.
He said that the computers are being used in the office so now they are receiving printed assessment results instead the handwritten one the teachers usually prepared.

according to the child the experience of learning using ICT (at on line school) was only first done during Covid-19. Then you had to have your own device at home and join classes, submit homework/assignments and even participate in Physical Education class. It was a little hard at first to learn how to use the computer but it was interesting and fun. Now that schools have reopened, the only chance of students using computers is in the Secondary School level. so I do not use any computers at school since I am in the Primary level. Our teachers use the computers in the Admin Dept. to prepare and print our end or term report cards.

ICT inside school improves learning it gives a better understanding to so many things .some children are slow learners so it helps a great lot  and at the same time learning the basic about a laptop since that is being used in everyday life especially when it comes to some jobs . it makes work easier for both student and teacher.

ICT outside school helps develop both children and adults. children enjoys ICT it gives a better understanding and flexible way of learning.  also when family is a way we can be able to use technology to skype text or emails to contact them if they are far away or want to give a reminder

During covid pandemic we had to use our device for learning and to communicate with our teacher and my friends. My friends and I shared alot of things we never knew about .

The children say: at school the teacher uses the computer, they only watch, but when the lesson is with an interactive whiteboard, it is interesting to go through the lesson for playful tasks. At home a tablet and smartphone for social networks (Tik-tok, Instagram, Telegram) and games, studying at home - doing tests.

does technology affect your learning and what do you enjoy?
The answer was: playing. They really enjoy that they can play on tablets in school. They can learn new words from the game, it’s easier for them understand new things, beacuse they can see it.
My children are nor allowed use computer devices at home, so for them the big difference is that in school they have computer, ipads and they can use it, and at home-no.

1.     When asked what they think about how technology is being used in your school” a student of mine indicated that she loves the new upgrade, as we just received promethean boards and laptops (1 to 1). She noted that it’s fun and there is so much they can use it for, like watching YouTube videos, making charts and picking students using the spin wheel. Last, she noted that students do not have only have to write but they could use their laptops to type, research, and so much more.

2.     Moreover, when asked to describe the difference I the use of ICT inside and outside school she noted that it use to be different because they didn’t really use technology in class, only in the ICT room and students sometimes saw videos played on projects and computers sometimes. Now however, she commented with joy to indicate that it is not much different because the promethean board is now like a giant iPhone or iPad in the classroom and its fun and exciting.
