In an increasingly digital world where technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, the integration of technology into the school universe is in constant progress. Indeed, modern digital techniques bring many advantages for both the teacher and the student. They allow, among other things, faster and wider access to knowledge, the possibility of customizing educational content and also promote educational continuity between the classroom and the home. The whole school universe and its approach are changed by the introduction of new educational tools such as school tablets.
Individual learning encouraged
No one learns the same way and at the same speed. Technology offers great possibilities to make learning more effective for all those with different needs. A student can learn at their own pace, revisit difficult concepts, or advance faster if needed. In addition, technology can provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students. This personalization or individualization of learning via digital tools does not eliminate the role of the teacher or that of the group, but offers additional possibilities for everyone to find their own rhythm of understanding.
Interactivity that improves engagement
It is obvious that technology offers different possibilities to make learning more fun and enjoyable: fun and varied exercises, but also the possibility of using other online learning resources, which encourages more active participation in the learning process. Learning via digital tools therefore promotes student engagement while it is often more difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom environment. Finally, the individualization of learning implies more commitment, whereas a student who does not feel concerned or does not understand can more easily drop out in a traditional course.
Encouraged collaboration
Collaboration is never easy in a traditional classroom: making work groups or teams can even be messy. On the other hand, digital tools offer very practical collaborative spaces for implementing teamwork as normally we have wide range in stationery or arts. It can be extended outside the classroom, and the whole team is constantly connected via the internet for easier and more spontaneous reactivity. A digital collaborative environment in small groups also limits the disadvantages of physical group work, where some characters take precedence over others and limit the creativity of some.
Personalization of educational content is possible
Customizing its educational content to individualize learning is a goal that many teachers have. But without a digital tool it is tedious, complex to achieve, and above all difficult to follow. The technological possibilities of digital tools, such as the Nova Pad school tablet, provide a real plus for designing specific educational content, implementing them more easily, modifying them quickly and ensuring individualized monitoring .
Better solutions for the environment and children’s health
Classical learning methods involve an immense amount of paper. Notebooks and books are consumed in droves and that is not always good for the planet. Digital solutions are not there to do away with notebooks or books, but they allow more reasonable consumption while having greater access to online libraries of textbooks.
Finally, having your class books in digital format even in arts helps avoid a lot of weight in school bags and back problems in children!
More effective student monitoring
For the teacher, having a digital teaching tool makes it possible to manage his class more easily via dedicated applications. He saves time by having configurable statistical and monitoring tools at his disposal and can thus better concentrate on the essentials. They also access their data securely and from wherever they want, thus having greater flexibility in the management of their working time and greater efficiency.
Permanent access to information
This is one of the most obvious advantages of digital technologies: immediate online access to a multitude of sources of knowledge. This allows students to easily access journals, scientific articles, books, studies and any other type of online content. This broad access must of course be mastered and accompanied by a critical eye by the teacher, but it allows children to develop a taste for research and, above all, offers considerable resources which reduce inequalities with regard to access to libraries or books in general.
The acquisition of useful skills in the 21st century
Using technology in the classroom allows students to acquire the skills they will need to be successful in the future. Beyond learning purely technical know-how (using IT tools and all associated skills), a whole field of learning is also improved. This ranges from solving complex problems, to learning the distinction between trusted and unreliable sources on the Internet, to developing different forms of communication, creating presentations, and maintaining an online label. appropriate. These are necessarily important and structuring skills for the professional future of today’s children.
Improved pedagogical continuity between the classroom and the home
Tablets and other digital learning tools promote real educational continuity between school and home. The digital tool is easy to use with easier access, more efficient portability than notebooks and books, and easier sharing with parents. It is also a tool which bridges the gap between school learning and a more fun aspect, very effective in facilitating the acquisition of knowledge outside of school time.
Conclusion
Modern digital techniques allow the design of specific digital tools for teaching. These devices have immense advantages over traditional tools and open up new possibilities for both teacher and student. The enriched educational approach offered by secure tablets specially designed for the school, arouses curiosity and motivation in students and allows more diverse and more adapted learning.
