BENEFITS OF ICT TO PUPILS AND TEACHERS

It is important to acknowledge that students are already interested and engaged in


using technology, this creates many amazing opportunities for schools and teachers to
benefit from integrating some forms of technology in the classroom and to make
teaching and learning more effective. Here are some of the main benefits of using
technology in the classroom.
Improves engagement
When technology is integrated into lessons, students are expected to be more
interested in the subjects they are studying. Technology provides different opportunities
to make learning more fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching same things in new ways.
For instance, delivering teaching through gamification, taking students on virtual field
trips and using other online learning resources. What is more, technology can
encourage a more active participation in the learning process which can be hard to
achieve through a traditional lecture environment.
Improves knowledge retention
Students who are engaged and interested in things they are studying, are expected to
have a better knowledge retention. As mentioned before, technology can help to
encourage active participation in the classroom which also is a very important factor for
increased knowledge retention. Different forms of technology can be used to experiment
with and decide what works best for students in terms of retaining their knowledge.
Encourages individual learning
No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different
abilities. Technology provides great opportunities for making learning more effective for
everyone with different needs. For example, students can learn at their own speed,
review difficult concepts or skip ahead if they need to. What is more, technology can
provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students. Access to the Internet
gives students access to a broad range of resources to conduct research in different
ways, which in turn can increase the engagement.
Encourages collaboration
Students can practice collaboration skills by getting involved in different online activities.
For instance, working on different projects by collaborating with others on forums or by
sharing documents on their virtual learning environments. Technology can encourage
collaboration with students in the same classroom, same school and even with other
classrooms around the world.
Students can learn useful life skills through technology
By using technology in the classroom, both teachers and students can develop skills
essential for the 21st century. Students can gain the skills they will need to be
successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating with others, solving
complex problems, critical thinking, developing different forms of communication and
leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity. What is more, technology
can help develop many practical skills, including creating presentations, learning to
differentiate reliable from unreliable sources on the Internet, maintaining proper online
etiquette, and writing emails. These are very important skills that can be developed in
the classroom.
Benefits for teachers
With countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers can
use different apps or trusted online resources to enhance the traditional ways of
teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson plans, grading software
and online assessments can help teachers save a lot time. This valuable time can be
used for working with students who are struggling. What is more, having virtual learning
environments in schools enhances collaboration and knowledge sharing between
teachers.
