Impact of technology on students -A teacher's perspective (ITS)

Our project (ITS) focuses on how the use of technology negatively impacts learning. As teachers, we realised that students lack certain basic skills due to the overuse of technology. As parents, we are also worried about the negative effects of technology, especially concerning our children’s future life. Thus our project’s main purpose is to raise awareness and to forge a common strategy towards combating this new social plague. We have set our objectives in such a way so as to target parents, teachers and students first at an individual level and then join forces to achieve a common desired outcome. Overall some of our project’s objectives are: - to raise awareness that although technology can be a useful educational tool, its overuse may have a negative effect on their education and learning - to offer helpful tips to encourage responsible technological use - to promote the use of technology/devices that are less about gaming/social networking and more academic/work-oriented as students should be better prepared for the high-level application required for university and the workplace - to emphasize that students should receive a blend of inquiry-based and more traditional teacher directed instruction which leads to higher academic performance for students etc. Overall, for all groups, we aim to provide guidelines as to the different ways to minimize the negative impact of technology and to organize activities which promote reading, exercising and improving social interaction, to direct their attention away from technology.
