Technology Shapes the Way We Learn


The widespread use of Internet and electronic gadgets has created us a lot of learning opportunities. Living in the age of technology, ICT has brought us to an era to transform the way we teach and learn. As an educator, it is the duty for us to ensure all the students have access to tools that they need to catch up with today’s technology.

Students of the 21st century are surrounded by technology. In a kindergarten in Provo, the primary learning resources are no longer chalkboards and worksheets, but iPads, laptop computers and smart boards. With the use of Internet, these tools help students to learn and connect with the outside world.   

In addition, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra spotted the increasing importance of technology in education. She planned to give out free tablet computers to all primary school students to help students engage in technology and learning.

With the evidence of transforming our traditional learning resources, we believe Internet and technology are powerful tools for teaching and learning, which can bring positive impact when successfully integrated into the school curriculum.

We are dedicated to provide students an online learning community alongside the provision of the electronic gadgets by schools and governments. We aim to enhance students’ engagement and their critical and creative thinking skills.

We do not intent to replace traditional teaching and learning methodologies. However, we recognized the raising power of technology, which is a useful instructional tool to couple with traditional learning.
