How has technology changed the way we learn?

Technology has changed the way we learn these days. Did you know technology connects us to the world? During the 1900’s, children in classrooms used blackboards to write their follow up work on. These were called slates.

Slates were called slates because they were made out of slate. After using blackboards, notebooks and ink were introduced in classrooms. Notebooks were better than slates because they would keep things safe, and unlike blackboards it was not easy to wipe out the work. This meant students had a record of their work.

Inkwells were replaced by pens, pencils and rubbers. Rubbers are used to rub things out if mistakes were made when writing with pencils. This meant students were able to try new things without worrying about making a mistake in their work.

Nowadays we now use computers. Computers are digital learning devices. They help us look through the internet when we are finding the answers to new learning. We can create DLOs (Digital learning objects) like slideshows, google draw posters, movies and spreadsheets on one device. We can see our learning at our class google site at any time,  and our blogs let everyone in the world see the work we publish.

In 2018 we are using our digital devices instead of using blackboards or notebooks which shows technology has changed the way we learn.
