Using Technology in Schools
With computers, tablets and phones becoming ever increasingly popular and used in most of our daily lives, it makes sense that schools are teaching pupils about these forms of technology and how they can assist us.
There is a lot of educational material available in terms of apps and such like that can be used in a classroom situation. From recent studies, I have found out that most school now have a few Ipads or other Tablets available for the children to use. These are normally pre loaded with educational games and research aids and other content is restricted.
Children are becoming use to using touch screen IT and even preschool children seem to have grasped the touch and slide concept that many of these gadgets use. IT has vastly improved over the last few years and no longer just involves teaching the child of how to type on a PC and search on the internet.
