  Improves the student’s chances of being a participant

When technology comes into the classrooms of an international school with audio and video aid, students tend to be more interested in learning. Technology can provide more opportunities in classrooms of an international school with the help of colour, sound, appealing graphics, virtual field trips, songs, etc. Students will not find learning boring anymore and can also create an environment where active participation is shown, taking away the element of shyness and making sure all the studying material is grasped, which is hard to achieve in a classroom where the teacher’s attention is divided.

• Increases knowledge retention

With the help of music, songs, videos, pictures, in an international school, there is an increased chance for students in an international school to remember the following. A different form of technology can be tried and tested to find out what is working and what is not working so as to ensure optimal knowledge retention.

• Monitoring and changing privacy settings

You can always keep a track of the websites your kid is visiting. Make sure he/she is spending his time on the internet wisely and correctly. You can block web pages so as to ensure safety as we all know, the internet is a funny place. Make your child aware of the threats involved in using the internet and teach him about cybersecurity and cybercrime.

• Create tech-free zones

Restrict the usage of devices for your kids so they have a healthy balance. Do not let them use devices a few hours before and after bed as it also affects sleep. Do not let them carry their favourite gadgets to the dinner table. Make sure your child reaps the benefits of technology, uses it and doesn’t abuse it.

Technology can be used for various purposes in an international school and otherwise too, it can help in learning, growing and achieving. It’s up to you, whether it’s a boon or curse.
