Interactive Technology: Teachers and Students

One of the biggest benefits of interactive technology in the classroom is that it can allow us to enhance students’ knowledge of technology through active, daily use of it.
Interactive display technology can allow teachers to think outside the box and integrate more of their creative ideas than ever before when lesson planning. These tools can allow teachers to create lessons with mixed media, gamified elements, video clips, and more, all with relatively minimal prep and planning.
By making pedagogy strategies more adaptable, teachers are better able to adapt their lessons to suit the learning styles of different students or classes. They could also switch up their lesson styles sometimes to ensure students remain engaged throughout the school year.
Interactive technology can help students improve their ability to communicate both with their peers and their teachers. Students could be encouraged to share ideas or concepts on the interactive whiteboard, for example, or they could even give short lessons or presentations of their own.

If students have access to their own devices a tablet or laptop, for example, teachers can provide additional learning resources, presentations, or quizzes for students to work through. Students could be enabled to explore these materials in their own time if they’re particularly enthusiastic about a topic. Alternatively, they could turn to these resources during lessons if they complete an in-class assignment sooner than their counterparts.
