Teaching and learning are completely different today than they were a decade ago. Technology changes by the minute and it is very important to prepare the students for this ever-changing world. In keeping with this, important investments have been made to improve education and now many schools can gain access to digital resources to support the educational process.
The impact that technology has had on today’s schools has been quite significant and it has completely changed how teachers teach and how students learn.
When teachers introduce technology in the classroom, they are using something that students like, and they are opening the doors to a limitless world of knowledge. With technology, students have access to answers beyond what’s in their textbooks and they can have access to electronic books, digital portfolios, learning guides and real-time feedback on both teacher or student performance.
But why is technology so critical in improving the education process? In this episode we will talk to our guest Mr. Craig Kemp highlighting the Power of ED Tech in Virtual learning.
