School Technology Equipment To Simplify Learning

By Henry Long


A simple learning environment makes it easy for the teacher to deliver and the students to grasp the concepts being taught. Such an environment is created using school technology equipment that can perform different tasks for both the teachers and students. Each class manager must appreciate and therefore make provision for his or her unique needs.

The gadgets and infusion of technology are not meant to eliminate creative space for students. This means that management must be cautious in the choice of gadgets and the tech to be incorporated. The objective should be to simplify teaching and learning for teachers and students respectively.

The projector was a predecessor in many classrooms. The technology used here is simple but has a transformational effect on both students and teachers. A projector allows a teacher to enlarge images and therefore make them accessible to everyone in class. Demonstrating concepts is therefore easier. A teacher also makes systematic presentations that are easy for his or her students to follow. In case a slide or video needs to be reviewed, it will be done at the touch of a button. You only need an ordinary computer to get the work done. A teacher can interact with students at all corners of the class and still control the projector.

A smart-board has transformed the teaching experience a great deal. It provides an interactive way of teaching because the material you write on the board is transformed into digital markers. There are more sophisticated boards where you can scribble your learning material then turn and twist it around as you wish. This makes your learning, and especially demonstrations easier by animating them.

A laptop is almost a universal device for both students and teachers. However, its usage in class is making learning ever more simplified. You can even include the tablet in the bracket of laptops. Digital textbooks are transferred to all students using WIFI and such other methods. Handouts are also issued for students to revise previous lessons. With the prices of these computer devices going down, all students can afford.

Digital textbooks are replacing the hardcover books of a few decades ago. The books were heavy to carry and provided limited options for sharing in class. Digital textbooks offer the dynamic option of instant and electronic sharing. This allows all students to read from the same book and therefore standardize the learning experience. Students are also creating a database for the books they are using in learning to simplify revision.

Lecture capturing is becoming the norm for student. It helps them revise the lessons or review concepts that they could missed. Missing a lesson because of sickness or other commitments will also not be punishing since the student has the entire presentation on video or audio.

Teachers and students have a myriad of options when it comes to technology. Your desired learning environment will determine the type of gadgets to choose. You also have to consider the resources at your disposal. These gadgets must be used for simplifying learning and not killing the creative ability of a student.
