In today's society, the ability to use technology is becoming as fundamental to a child's development as their ability to read and write. Technology in the classroom not only opens up a world of new learning possibilities, but also helps prepare your students for the world of work, and provides more accessibility and improved learning outcomes for students with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

In order to encourage your students to become Tech Literate and help them to become “work ready”, incorporating technology into your lessons is essential. But we know it's not always simple. There’s no value for you or your students in just swapping traditional methods such as a pen and paper for a device if you’re doing the exact same thing. You need to think about how technology can transform and bring something new to your lessons:
- How can you make your lessons more fun and exciting?
- How can you engage multiple senses and different learning styles at once?
- How can you use technology in order to do teach in ways you've never been able to before?
