How to get a child accustomed to mobile textbooks?

How to get a child accustomed to mobile textbooks?


Nowadays children are indulging in gadgets. They have started spending more time on mobiles, laptops, and tabs than on textbooks. In it, they watch videos, play games. Thus, the ability of students to focus on digital devices is weakening. Putting them in the classroom to read and write textbooks has become challenging. Generation Z (10 to 24 years old) and Generation Alpha (under 9 years old) have been born in a world where smartphones are setting their direction.


Today's children are so addicted to the stimuli from smartphone apps and streaming platforms that their attention is distracted from the classroom. This has added a big challenge to teachers. How to impart technology as well as traditional education to students?


Please note


The development of a child's brain is a complex subject. Over the past few years, researchers around the world have expressed concern about the adverse effects of smartphones and media multi-tux on concentration.


"The obvious evidence is that technology, social media, instant access to the Internet, and smartphones are harming children," said Dr. Jim Taylor, author of Raging Generation Tech.


His evidence has not been fully substantiated, arguments can be made against him.


"We're fundamentally changing the way a child thinks and develops his or her brain," says Taylor.


Lara Shad, a seventh- and eighteenth-grade (12- to 14-year-old) child in Philadelphia, says the average teenager can concentrate for about 28 seconds.


Smartphones have affected their brain development. And, the teacher has no idea how to relieve the student from this.


Lara Shad became a teacher in 2015. She has not received any training on how to teach a child born in the digital age.


The influence of technology is beginning to be seen in the curriculum and teaching available in traditional schools. Curriculum-based digital media for children has increased the use of apps such as Instagram and Snapchat, which are full of pictures.


Erica Swift teaches sixth grade at a school in California. She says, ‘It has become very difficult for students to teach long and complex lessons. Whereas earlier students did not mind reading such a lesson. '


Today's students do not easily understand complex and long lessons. They have to be broken and taught. Some children have stopped reading long lessons.


Transferring text to a device may not be as helpful. The problem is a bit deeper than just prioritizing the screen overprint.


According to Taylor, concentration is the gateway to learning anything. Remembrance deepens understanding.


"Without the ability to concentrate, a child will not be able to produce any information," says Taylor. They are not able to remember it. This means that they cannot interpret, analyze, synthesize, and critique it and cannot come to any conclusions about the information. '


Classroom of the future


When students cannot understand or memorize a long lesson, the teacher categorizes the lesson into shorter parts. The teacher thinks that a short lesson is appropriate.


Some teachers are also focusing on increasing students' concentration. One teacher also created a clam app to help students meditate.


Some teachers go and communicate with the students wherever they are. Such as YouTube and Instagram.


Asha Choksi, vice president of global research and insight at educational publisher Pearson, cites the example of a teacher who created a video from a scientific experiment and posted it on YouTube.


He showed the same video to the students in the classroom and started trying to remind the students of the lesson.


Students can be attracted to digital platforms if they are interested. Destler praises the teacher who linked the history of Nazi propaganda to cyberbullying.


He says, "If you add today's relevant thing to the compulsory curriculum, students will try to understand it more interestingly."


Educational platforms like Flipgrid, where students can share their videos by giving presentations, teachers can help students by engaging them.


Pearson's 2018 study found that students in Generation Z prefer to watch videos rather than books. After teachers, video is the second-largest source of information for them.


If the teacher adjusts the rhythm to the student's attention, it will be easier for him to focus.


Some schools have adopted platforms such as Google Classroom, where students and parents can monitor grader upcoming assignments.


The damage done to reading skills through technology has been compensated as much as it has been done.


Computer reading


This school in Lexia has a very interesting reading method. There, students are encouraged to participate in sports.


A separate group of students is formed based on performance. Successful students are assigned a previous level offline job. Backward students are given digital practice, as long as they do not fully memorize the text.


In the field of American education technology Is a global leader. In 2018, the Edu Tech company raised जु 1.45 billion. However, companies like Flipgrid and Lexia were hit by another country.


The Edu Tech industry has spread rapidly in East Asia. Newton, like the American platform, has expanded abroad. These companies are exploiting global interest in creating digital classrooms for students.


Mixed study


Teachers are adopting technology in the classroom. However, some studies have shown that traditional classrooms can be more successful.


A 2015 study by the London School of Economics found that when schools in Birmingham, London, Leicester, and Manchester banned phones in the classroom, there was an improvement in GCSE exam scores.


William Lam, a professor of neuroscience and author of The Learning Skills Cycle, points to a 2014 study. It was learned that students who write notes in the classroom can memorize any information more than students who write on laptops.


Lame considers it dangerous to break any text into smaller sections. According to him, going from one lesson to another immediately does not develop the student's memory. When the teacher starts a lesson, the student should memorize the lesson completely.


However, some advocates of technology point out that there are shortcomings in traditional reading methods as well. Therefore, he said, it would be more effective to move forward by mixing both technology and traditional education.


Katie Davis, an associate professor at the University of Washington School of Information, says, "I've seen a lot of discussion among academics in recent years about whether reading through lectures is like a relic and will disappear like a dinosaur."


Davis acknowledges that new media and technology teach new skills. However, the lecture has its own place.


Elizabeth Hoover, chief technology officer at a public school in Alexandria, Virginia, is working to improve the quality of education.


Hoover says teachers are just as indispensable today. And face-to-face conversations with teachers are still an important part of the classroom.


Hoover takes the side of technology where it is impossible to teach a lesson offline.


Economic initiatives


Shaad also says that some teachers rely on technology only because they do not have enough offline resources.


If more financial support is provided to the school so that the teacher can focus on the backward students, then there is no need for a program like Lexia.


Philadelphia teacher Sophia Date teaches social studies in the 12th grade. She also says that it would not be appropriate to spend money on technology instead of teaching.


"Efforts are being made to promote technology in the classroom," she said. The grant-in-aid organization is paying a hefty sum for tabs or laptops. But, they are not allowed to pay the salary of a teacher for one year. '


The date makes it clear that equal access to technology is important for low-income students, but it cannot replace management change.


Let's learn to think


Technology weakens some aspects of education, but it also empowers students.


"It's believed that young people are a little bit depressed, a little bit lazy, and they're being provoked by technology," says Choksi, who is associated with Pearson.


In fact, we need to reduce the role of technology in empowering a child's learning and learning.


To satisfy any curiosity, the students first ask the teacher and wait for the answer. Now they do not have such patience. They have started using technology to satisfy their curiosity.


At present there is no solution to any problem in the textbook or practice booklet, the solution is sought on YouTube or Google.


As information becomes more ubiquitous, success no longer depends on what you know.


Instead, it depends on the ability to think with subtlety and creativity. The irony is that digital media is undermining this skill.


In digital media, children have adopted new media. Now the teacher has to update himself with this. Now the teacher has to guide the students on how to benefit from the technology. Also, the teacher must fundamentally educate the student so that he or she can succeed in a world where he or she is constantly distracted.

  1. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: [email protected] and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose [email protected]
