There are now lots of ways to help children learn new things and technology is proving to be a great help. It is a good way to learn individually as well as collaboratively, making it especially useful for lots of different types of learners. For example, if a child wants to study for a group project, it is possible for them to do so using an online messaging service.

The key is to understand what helps each individual child learn. They may be easily engaged by educational games or they may prefer to use the internet to read further around topics that interest them. Try out different types of technology at home and in the classroom to see what works. Speak to children and ask how they feel about the different types of learning technology – if they enjoy using them then that is half the battle won for you already.
