According to a *survey carried out by Speak Up Research Project for Digital Learning, 60% of principals who responded to the survey, said they assigned devices such as laptops, mobiles or tablets to their students in 2017, compared to 27% in 2015. The survey showed some distinct differences in how students perform and interact whilst being in and out of school when assigned some form of digitaldevice. Benefits of Assigning Students with Digital Devices1 Students can digitally take notes in classBy having notes on the same device, students may be more inclined to use that device to do internet research and create documents. 2 Students can interact with their fellow peers and collaborate on projectsBy allowing students to interact with their classmates through online messaging or email, this can help to relieve pressure of a student who may not have understood a teachers wording, but can understand it more through the words of their peer. The devices can also benefit group projects, as students are able to collaborate their ideas and work through email and online document sharing. 3 Teachers and students can set remindersReminders can help people in all aspects of every day life, and for life in education they are no different. Reminders can be set for project deadlines, homework hand-in dates, and for upcoming exams. 4 Communication through EmailAs previously mentioned, email can help interaction between students, but it can also be a great resource for teacher-student interaction.
5 Building student confidenceBy using all of the above resources on assigned digital devices, students can feel more confident in their capabilities and have a greater focus on their education, whether they are in or out of school premises.
