MILLENIUM KIDS ARE SWITCHED ON

 

EDUCATION INNOVATION - A BRIGHT NEW FUTURE FOR CHILDREN

 

UNDERPRIVILEGED COMMUNITIES LEAPFROG TO CATCH UP WITH THE REST

 

TECHNOLOGY CAN POWERFULLY BE USED TO FIX THE WORLDS MORAL COMPASS.

 

 

Today's youth are technologically switched on. Unlike many of their teachers, they were born in a world dominated by information and communications technology, the world wide web, computers, smartphones, iPads, Kindles, iPods, Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. It is their reality.

 

An education system that fails to take this into account will be missing a unique opportunity not only to give real substance to child-centred education, but also to equip the youth to take their rightful place in the global community.

 

How quickly are children able to make the most of digital technology? Experience in the United States, Italy, India and Ghana indicates that, with the right sort of stimulus, children take to using technology with remarkable agility and enthusiasm, regardless of their backgrounds.

 

Worldreader, a non-profit organisation based in the United States and Europe that describes its mission as making digital books "available to children in the developing world", reported on the introduction of e-readers to primary school pupils in Ghana: "Students spent significantly more time reading outside of class, both at recess and lunch and at home, using the e-readers than they previously had done using paper books."

 

In another example, a class of 10-year-olds in an Italian school  was asked who Pythagoras was. The class was divided into groups of four, each with a computer, and the pupils were left to their own devices. In a short time, right-angled triangles started to appear on their screens.
