Ubiquitous computing

The integration of laptops in classrooms represents a shift towards ubiquitous learning, characterized by several key moves: blurring traditional educational boundaries, recognizing learner differences, and fostering collaborative knowledge cultures.

Ubiquitous computing

Redefining the Teacher's Role

the teacher still plays an important role in developing the social behavior of children

the teacher to apply "wisdom"

teachers must still exercise true leadership in the classroom.

Tool

Helps you to produce

Forces you to think criticall

Digital Teaching Assistants

This term may evoke concern because it bestows a certain "human" dimension to computers. The rap on technology today is that it is dehumanizing society by limiting social interaction.

It is also an accurate description of what computers do for children within and outside the classroom
