From chaos to calm: The role of technology in modern classroom management
It comes as no surprise that research tells us that today’s classrooms have become increasingly technology-centred.
According to a recent report from Campion Education, 32.9 per cent of Australian schools identified themselves as highly tech-enabled in their digital readiness journey.
The majority (53.9 per cent) described themselves as set up for dual learning, utilising both digital and print technologies, while the remaining 13.2 per cent of those surveyed were early in their digital journey.
This comes at a time when Australian teachers and educators are continuing to face disruption in their classrooms. Recent results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) revealed that Australia ranks below average in classroom orderliness compared to other OECD nations.
While the solution to addressing this is multifaceted, technology can play a vital role in managing a bustling class full of students, according to Damian Lepore, Logitech ANZ managing director.
“EdTech, from noise-cancelling headsets to durable iPad keyboard cases, is no longer just about making lessons more engaging. It’s about creating an environment where disruptions are proactively prevented.
“By giving students and teachers the right tools, we can quietly and effectively manage the flow of the classroom, allowing learning to happen without interruption.
“Implementing an array of digital tools in the classroom empowers both the teacher and the students simultaneously,” he said.
