What do you think happens when you digitize the class, i.e. Make laptops and / or tablets available to children and adolescents with an Internet connection for learning and researching? Will the performance improve? Are good students getting better? Are bad students getting much better? Or do performance deteriorate? Do the opportunities or risks outweigh?
I don't think you can say that in general. The didactic implementation will be decisive. In my opinion, well integrated into the classroom, the chances outweigh the chances.
My nephew is exactly in the situation. As a parent you have to pay much more attention to the fact that the children are really responsible with it. For example, my nephew likes to use the time to surf instead of studying.
More chances now I don't know, you could also look up all the things at home on your PC. What is definitely a thick + point is the environmental aspect. They solve everything on the PC, so paper is no longer necessary, but then you have to say that it takes electricity and maybe (if you are not using solar or similar) presses on the environment again.
Of course, it depends on the children themselves how they use it, I didn't have a laptop at the time and still got a good report.
Bad teaching remains bad teaching even with brand new technology.
The most important thing is the person in front. And that is usually overwhelmed when a video is to be set to full screen or a laptop is to be logged into the Wi-Fi. That is the main argument against technical fuss: the teachers can't do it.
Tablets are kind of a gimmick. You just save yourself the slip of chaos. If you want, you should just get an iPad or Surface, at the latest in the upper school, every student will be free to choose how to work in class.
Electronic boards are the worst ever. Always broken and if it heals, then actually broken. The company behind the SmartBoards is gone, thank God. But now there are more and more panels on which the image is not projected, but which have a real lc display. RIP the teacher's eyes.
I'm for chalk boards. Nothing beats chalk boards. Plus a powerful projector. What is connected to it is the problem of the teacher.
The electricity that such an iPad consumes per year can be switched off by switching off the lights for five minutes.
But manufacturing is a completely different thing. Paper can be produced in an environmentally neutral way, for an iPad a child has always died in a mine.
Do you have a source for the environmental aspect?
So with my nephew it is a laptop that they use and it already consumes a good amount of electricity. And a source of paper making? Not every school uses recycled paper.
Sry for the fat was no intention: x
Yes, that's really something that every school could implement. In my old school there was only unbleached recycled paper, in my current one there's new one. But here the toilet paper is constantly scarce. Somewhere there's always saving.
So I was never in the school toilet I'm too meticulous for that but thanks for the info.
No problem.
