Here, I posted a link about a students that state what they do during their days We can see that technology plays a big part. Teachers can take this hints given by these children to use technology as a tool for students to develop skills.
Apart from teachers understand what are the ways children might enjoy learning, this video should inspire the stakeholders to provide teachers with the tools and training to be able to perform this new ways of teaching. We can Engage the students more with technology.
P.S This link is also very good.

I watched both videos and they are both interesting. The most expression which made me think was when students kept writing “Engage me” & “Encourage me” (in the first video link). I think that the problem lies within some teachers since they do not believe that using new tools (which are there thanks to advancement in technology) will facilitate learning to students and makes it easier for teachers to manage tasks. Thus as always when you don’t believe in something you end up doing it because you are forced to and thus do not use its full potential.
