As the world becomes more digital, emerging technologies continue to transform the core of our lives in exciting and unexpected ways. Without a doubt, technology has made our lives more convenient.
“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David Warlick (educator, author, programmer, and public speaker)
Learning about technologies such as Web 3.0, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Robotics and NFTs has more benefits than you might think in a world where children are growing up digitally.
It develops creativity and soft skills
Introducing children to technology and helping them develop skills will reimagine how they learn. It engages children in important skills such as self-expression and computational thinking, which will later support success across all academic disciplines and help children retain their natural curiosity. It will assist in providing students with the emerging opportunities and one-of-a-kind learning experiences they require and deserve.
It develops core abilities during early education
Technology use in early childhood promotes the development of hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Online games are one example of this, as many of them rely on movement speed. Many computer games also encourage detail-oriented thinking and the ability to piece together clues to solve a problem. These critical thinking skills can be useful later in life when conducting research, writing literary analyses, and performing other educational and workplace tasks.
It paves a path to the future
Learning and mastering new-age technological skills allows children to have a better understanding about the evolving world around them. When it comes to preparing children for the future, there are few better ways than learning ever-crucial tech skills! Valuable and necessary in the 21st century, building technological expertise helps young learners grow academically, and build perseverance and organisational skills that can translate into a career.
Developing foundational skills in artificial intelligence to blockchain technology and machine learning not only helps to bring tech-savvy ideas to life but help children develop coveted transferable skills. Most children are naturally curious about new-age technology, so getting them started isn’t the hard part.
