THE CRITICAL ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY
IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY
By Matt Waring, Education Channel Manager
The pandemic accelerated learning
transformation like never before, opening
greater opportunities to innovate, put
learners’ needs first and maximise
schools’ investment in technology. BETT
2022 was a fantastic opportunity to
discuss the heavily featured themes of
sustainability, flexibility, value for money
and student /teacher wellness.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our mission is to help ALL people pursue
their passions in a way that is good for
society and the environment. Our operations
and product portfolio are certified carbon
neutral, setting us on a path to become
Climate Positive and remove more carbon
than we create.
CLASSROOM OF THE NOW
The “Classroom of the Now” is rooted in two
essential points: that a “classroom” can take
many forms and “now” can change at any
time. Solutions need to be appropriate for
different ages, learning styles and student
needs and flexible for varying classroom
setups, to expand learning opportunities for
every student.
WHOLE CLASS ENVIRONMENT
Whether in-person, remote, or hybrid, the
need for voice amplification and visual
accessibility/clarity takes centre stage. A
student at the back of the class or remote
may not be able to hear the teacher. A
teacher writing on a whiteboard may be
blocking the view of content. This can lead
to disengagement, loss of confidence,
and weakening connections to peers and
teachers. Adding speakers and microphones
that project voices or installing a Logitech
Scribe whiteboard camera enables every
student to clearly see and hear what is
being taught; drawing students in, building
confidence, and strengthening connections
to deepen learning.
PERSONAL LEARNING SPACE
Personal learning spaces enhance
personalised learning by letting students
work at their own pace and in their
own way. A H111 headset enables focus
whilst allowing other students to work
independently or in small groups in
the same environment by blocking out
background classroom noise.
With a pixel-precise digital stylus
students can write, draw, sketch and
annotate. The Logitech Crayon for iPad,
or NEW Logitech Pen for USI-enabled
Chromebooks, provides the control needed
to create and collaborate.
MULTI-USE TOOLS FOR LEARNING
With the Rugged Combo 3 and Rugged
Combo 3 Touch for iPad, seamlessly shift
between learning environments to support
the stamina and focus needed to thrive.
Smart connector technology provides
instant power and pairing, with a musthave combination of protection and
purpose and an attached full-size keyboard
with iPad OS shortcuts, students can create
in full force. The four versatile use modes;
sealed, pry-resistant and spill-proof keys,
make the keyboard cases the perfect tools
for learning anywhere.
Technology offers exciting new ways
for schools to make the most of these
opportunities—and to create dynamic
moments to come.
