I am so surprised by the difference between high school and college.
Because in my experience in high school, I didn’t use any ICT in class and for homework. Even in Covid-19 era, I didn’t experience synchronous learning such as zoom. In contrast, almost every class use ICT for submitting assignments and confirming attendance. We learned in GEL classes, there are advantages and disadvantages to using ICT. So that l employ different methods adapting to the situation. I keep using a paper dictionary still, for example.
Also, I am surprised when I watch the elementary school students study well with ICT in their elementary school life. Given that even young children are now skilled in using ICT, it is needed that ICT education will become increasingly widespread.
I agree with your opinion. We have to use ICT depending on the situasion. I am surprised elementary school students’ ICT skills too.
Elementary school students’ ICT skills have been improved in order to popularize ICT in society.
I agree with your opinion. Now, elementary school students are so proficient in using ICT that they can research and create materials in class by themselves. Current students are so used to ICT that I am surprised that their typing is faster than mine.
I was shocked last year in May when we had a family stay with us during Golden Week. The daughter came to do a research project on flying squirrels and she made a presentation in google slides that was mostly done before she came. I gave her data on his food that she was instantly able to incorporate.
I think children have major advantages in adapting to new paradigms and ways of doing school because they are not yet acclimated (adjusted) to the old ways.
I also did not use ICT in high school but that was a long time ago.
