Components of learning

Student/teacher role: Students take responsibility for their learning outcomes, while teachers become guides and facilitators.

Students new role: They become creators and critics instead of just consumers.

Properly used, technology will help students acquire the skills they need to survive in a complex, highly technological knowledge-based economy.

Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.

Technology Prepares Students for the Future:
Education it's about solving complex problems and being to collaborate with others in the workforce. Ed-tech in the classroom prepares students for their future and sets them up for this increasing digital economy.

Improved Retention Rate
Student perceptions in the study believe that technology helps them retain information better.

Technology Helps Students Learn at Their Own Pace
As educators we need to keep up with the times in order to best prepare our students for this ever-changing world that we live in.

Games are designed to create a compelling complex problem space or world, which players come to understand through self-directed exploration.

 They are scaffolded to deliver just-in-time learning and to use data to help players understand how they are doing, what they need to work on and where to go next.

Easy Communication
Technologies like email, texts, websites, electronic portfolios, online surveys and video chat applications like Skype and Google Hangout have made communication between parents and teachers more timely, efficient, productive, and satisfying for both parties.

Creators of a better learning

When parents and teachers communicate with one another, they are able to support student learning together more effectively. As a team, the two can work to create the best possible environments to foster physical, emotional and intellectual well-being for students.
