The question is often asked why digital education in classrooms? The answer is the change in lifestyle. Take a closer look at our lifestyle and how it has changed from when we were in school. Remember hand written letters to parents, friends and posting them? Playing in the locality park after school? Compare it with todays life than you will find that everything has changed. The playground has shifted to mobile apps, internet search, its all about smartphones, Mobile Learning, internet, playstations and xbox. We depend on technology for almost everything we do, without even realizing it.
The question we should be asking is how well do we really know our children? Do we know how they communicate, get information, socialize or how they like to learn? Research shows that 21 century childrens attention span has dropped significantly compared to their previous generation. So when their minds and imagination is constantly stimulated and engaged through technology, it becomes increasingly difficult for teachers to hold their attention in a traditional classroom. A text bred teacher teaching a, tech bred student, will never see eye to eye. The teacher will not be able to comprehend the requirements of a tech bread student.
