The role of education institutions and educators in the future will become demand-driven; to satisfy technically sophisticated student clients. The paper recommends that we should not ignore the use of interactive technology used as it should be, as a tool, to enhance sound pedagogical methods, however, we should also be able to measure its contribution in enhancing teaching and learning.
It is pertinent to synthesize a framework that encompasses ways to compliment existing methods of teaching with interactive learning. Skip to main content Skip to sections.

And so much more. Students are adept at finding creative ways to use tech. Give them the tools. Provide the direction.
Then let them loose. Forget telling students about the results of scientific study. Lecturing is old school. Active learning is paramount to maximizing STEM learning. Interactive touch screen displays bring STEM subjects to life.
Students can conduct labs and experiments at the display. Work out equations as a team. And share their inquiry via screencasting to spark group discussion. Try Digital Frog for a humane, formaldehyde-free option. Explore the inner workings of cells with the iCell App. The options for leveraging big-screen interactivity are endless. Interactive touch screen displays help students of all ages develop critical life skills.
The jobs of today and tomorrow demand greater adaptability, problem-solving and critical thinking. To prepare students for career and college readiness they need to be using tech tools. And they need to be using these classroom tech tools in ways that develop these critical skills. To stay afloat in a competitive world, students need to be able to think critically. They must be able to observe and analyze. To suss out smart solutions to complex dilemmas. They need to be able to answer higher-level questions that require thought and exploration.
They need to learn to ask why, what if, and how to think through all sides of an issue. Collaboration skills are critical.
The traditional one-to-many lecture format fails to foster these skills. Interactive displays enable constructivist learning. They enable students to work together to make connections and develop knowledge. By , 30 to 40 percent of jobs will require strong social-emotional skills. Automation is displacing jobs that require repetitive tasks. Like communicating, managing people, and applying expertise. Using touch screen displays with classmates helps students develop social-emotional learning SEL competencies.
Skills like self-awareness and self-management. Social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Students in classes that leverage an interactive touch screen display are more engaged. They pay more attention. Teachers often report that increased attentiveness and engagement are the top benefits of teaching with interactive display technology.
This motivating impact of interactive displays is seen at every level of education. A good deal of research shows the benefits of interactive touch screen displays in early childhood education.
These benefits include gains in achievement, participation, motivation, and cooperation. Students were also able to engage in exploration and activities for longer periods of time. Focus and attention span during lessons increased. A recent study compared the results of traditional vs.
One of the three groups each used tablets, interactive touchscreen displays, or paper worksheets to learn and practice concepts. The results revealed that students who used tech were more motivated. They also achieved better results than those who used paper. Why the difference in enthusiasm between the tablet and interactive display groups? It was likely the collaborative component, the authors concluded 1.
The IW allows several students to perform the activities at the same time, and this encouraged them to interact with each other. For instance, they discussed the correct answers… and they willingly helped their partners if they did not know the correct answer. In this way, the benefits of collaborative learning became very noticeable…. Although paper groups and tablet groups also worked together, the individuality of the tablets and the lack of motivation when working on paper did not allow the same kind of interaction as in the IW group.
Primary-age students were similarly more motivated when they used interactive displays. The positive impact of interactive tech was significant. Student learning improved as did the quality of the learning environment. Plus, the interactive displays clearly boosted excitement for the lessons.
Moving up to higher education. The results continue to prove the captivating qualities of interactive displays. A study of first-year students compared classes taught with and without an interactive touch screen display.
The researchers conclude that the difference was a significant positive correlation. Decades of research have shown that less instruction plus more feedback creates greater learning. In fact, it doubles how quickly students learn. Harvard Physics professor Eric Mazur was one of the first to figure this out. His Intro to Physics students was floundering. Although they were book smart, they were failing at applying this knowledge in other ways.
Mazur assigned students problems to ponder, then discuss in small groups. He went on to say that it boosted their problem-solving skills as well as their understanding of the subject.
But he easily could have. EdTech provides abundant ways to create effective feedback. Small group discussions get an infusion of creativity when students have technology at their disposal. Be it an iPad, Chromebook or touch screen display. Tech-savvy students will turn to the devices at hand to research, draw, diagram, describe, and defend. Which Way Now? The booklet has been re-invented for as an Interactive PDF where students can read and complete activities on screen.
The PDF is also suitable for in-house printing if you prefer. There are also case studies from others who have experienced this process, action points to take students through the steps they need to follow, tips and signposts for where to find out more. This will allow you the flexibility to:. The guide has been expanded and updated for to include:. This best-selling workbook is packed with information in a lively, magazine style.
