Emerging technology can support school learning when it helps students understand a concept, practise a skill or explore information that would otherwise be difficult to access. However, technology should serve the learning objective rather than become the objective itself.
Before adopting a tool, teachers should consider age appropriateness, accessibility, cost, teacher training, data privacy and the reliability of the content. Pilot the activity with a clear learning goal and gather feedback before expanding its use.
Schools should also explain the limits of the technology and provide alternatives where students cannot access the required equipment or connectivity.
