Big Idea/ Talking Point- Is digital learning more than a tool? The pros and cons of digital learning and its delivery within the Manaiakalani cluster can be debatable.
From one perspective digital learning is considered only a tool. Like all tools it is taken out of the education tool kit only when it is needed. Arguably, learning is only as good as the teacher that is delivering the digital curriculum.
On the other hand... Whanau are investing a lot of money in digital learning. The term empowerment is used to tap into the learn, create, share cycle often associated with student agency. We must take advantage of the learning opportunities and capabilities technology offer. In an evolving world of technology and digital platforms learners of today must be digitally fluent. In essence we cannot afford to think lowly of tech devices instead we have to maximise its usage to empower our learners, especially in an ever digitally demanding word.
