Now each student can download the school-designed app that includes course materials and continue along with the lessons even when they don’t have access to the internet for weeks at a time.

13 Reasons To Use Educational Technology In Lessons

BY TERRY FREEDMAN, EDUCATIONAL ICT CONSULTANT | THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 2011 AT 3:34PM | PERMALINK

Sometimes you need to convince colleagues to think about using educational technology in their lessons, or to identify where in their scheme of work they could incorporate it.

Used wisely, these can help pupils to move on.
