The initiative to use tablets in classes

The initiative to use tablets in classes

Technology is all around us, children are introduced to it from an early age. It is often the reason for the debate between people who promote digital technology and people who emphasize its harmful effects. However, technology is something that surrounds us and is an imperative of modern society. Therefore, why not use it for didactic purposes? These are also the views of our school's teachers, but too often they encounter numerous obstacles in using it in class. A survey was launched at the school with the aim of finding out what teachers think about ICT in class and whether they are ready to use it and what prevents them from doing so already. The conclusions after the conducted research are that teachers are willing to use tablets in class (they already use computers), but the current conditions did not allow them to use them efficiently. Guidelines have been adopted that will enable teachers to use tablets effectively, and they are as follows:

  • put functional tablets for students in a place accessible to teachers - where they can take them if needed
  • check the technical settings of the tablet for the possibility of connecting to the Internet
  • ensure that the school's wi-fi code is visible to everyone
  • educate students to handle tablets
  • check internet connections in classrooms
  • provide technical support for teachers
