Schools are changing, becoming smarter. The days of lugging huge school bags, religiously making notes and mugging from textbooks have given way to smart classrooms with white boards on which content can be saved, stored and viewed online. Till recently, schools were dabbling with basic technology: a few PCs here, a Microsoft PPT there. No longer. Class notes are now emailed to students, there are graphic calculators and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Homework assignments are posted online. All of this is designed to make teaching more interactive with videoconferencing and live broadcasting. As for chalks and dusters, forget it.
But what does so much technology do to a child's learning life? |
