Teaching is Needed in Education

The implementation of technology in schools helps close that

gap. Technology has the ability to enhance relationships between teachers and
students. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun.
Students are also able to collaborate with their own classmates
through technological applications. Students learn according to their personal
needs and abilities. The methods of teaching involving technology are also perfect
for the teachers because it gives them ample time to work
individually with students who may be struggling.

Ten Reasons Why Your Students Need Technology in the Classroom

1. If used correctly, mobile devices and the applications they support, will help
prepare students for their future careers.
2. Integrating technology into the classroom is an effective way to connect with
students of all learning styles.
3. It gives students the opportunity to enhance the interaction with their
classmates and instructors by encouraging collaboration.
4. Using technology in the classroom gives teachers and other faculty members
the opportunity to develop their student's digital citizenship skills. It's one
thing to use mobile devices, it's a completely other thing to know how to use
them correctly and responsibly.
5. Integrating technology in education helps students stay engaged. Most
students today have been using mobile devices like tablets and smartphones to
play and learn since they could crawl. So it only seems logical to align today's
classrooms with the way that your students want and are used to learning.
6. Combining new tech like VR (virtual reality) with traditional classroom
instruction is one example of how the introduction of new technology can
enhance the learning experience and create new opportunities.
7. When mobile technology is readily available and performing correctly in the
classroom, students are able to access the most up-to-date information quicker
and easier than ever before.
8. The traditional passive learning model is broken. With technology in the
classroom the teacher becomes the encourager, adviser, and coach.
9. Technology helps students be more responsible. Owning your own device or
borrowing the school's devices gives students the opportunity to improve their
decision making skills as well as taking ownership of a valuable (and often
times expensive) device. Again, this needs to be complemented by proper
digital citizenship training to see the best results.
10. Technology transforms the learning experience. Students have access to an
incredible amount of new opportunities. From learning how to code to
learning how to better collaborate across teams and with their instructors--
technology empowers students to be more creative and be more connected.
New tech has super-charged how we learn today.

If your school is still debating how technology can benefit your students, teachers
and administrators, I hate to break it to you, but the future of education is already
here and you're missing an unbelievable amount of opportunities.

How to Support Technology in the Classroom

One of the biggest mistakes schools make when deploying or allowing new
devices onto their campus and into their classrooms, is by not making sure their
network infrastructure is up-to-date and/or sufficient enough to properly support
their end-users.

We've seen numerous situations where schools have bought and deployed new
tablets or new laptops, only to find that nothing worked because their Wi-Fi
network couldn't support the new devices.

With tight budgets you can't afford to buy new devices and have them not work;
you need to get it right the first time.

Having a secure WiFi network is what makes using new mobile devices possible.
Yes, wireless is a specialized skill and yes they're not cheap, but they're also more
attainable than you might think.
After engineering and deploying more than 1000+ wireless systems over the last
11 years, we've learned a lot about what should work and what actually does
work.

A few of the main takeaways are:

1. Your WiFi system needs to always align with the devices that are
connecting to it.
2. Technical resources are expensive and hard to find
3. User expectations are higher than ever
4. Everything is constantly changing (devices, applications, how we use
WiFi, device numbers, number users, even the physical environment)

What makes this especially challenging for schools is that WiFi networks today
only have a useful shelf-life of between three to four years at the very best.
Knowing that traditionally, wireless networks cost a lot of money to design,
deploy and manage, how do schools with almost no available budget get what
they need.

Using WiFi as a Service, your school can have the exact wireless system it needs
to support any technology plan it wants to implement. Whether it's new tablets as
part of a 1:1 program or BYOD, Wi-Fi as a Service enables schools of any size to
successfully embrace technology and the mobile devices their students want and
need.

1. WiFi as a Service offers a variety of benefits, for example:

2. Affordable monthly payments
3. Scalability to grow with your needs up or dow
4. Guarantees you always have the latest system in place.

Allows you to prioritize your budget towards other mission-critical projects.

Using a subscription, WiFi as a Service allows schools to budget over-time
exactly what they need to deliver the best class of service to their students, staff
and guests.
