Are Students Getting Left Behind in Tech Training?

Could the use of technology in the classroom be the key to unlocking new levels of student engagement? A recent survey showed that 76% of students believe technology enhances their learning experience. Additionally, 90% of teachers reported that it helps them evaluate student understanding more effectively.

Quickly advancing tech empowers educators to customize their approaches and engage with students on a personal level, crafting unique teaching plans tailored to each individual—an approach that has never been fully utilized until now. A recent article shows that schools around the globe are just beginning to recognize these advantages, utilizing iPads and other interactive screens to capture students' attention during lessons to provide a more effective learning experience.

While some argue that adolescent use of technology is harmful to their attention spans, when implemented properly, it can significantly enhance engagement and lesson effectiveness. Like any teaching strategy, mastering technology integration is crucial for educators to fully harness its benefits. Dr. Jennifer L. Robinson, with over two decades of experience, provides insights on the benefits of e-learning which can be found in the book, Providing Writing Feedback in Online Teaching and Learning: The PAUSE Framework (ISBN: 9781668477076).

“Designed specifically for faculty, PAUSE offers a proven framework for providing constructive feedback in online and virtual learning environments. Developed through grant-funded research, this comprehensive resource provides actionable tips and strategies aligned with the latest Department of Education guidelines for distance education.”
