There are powerful possibilities for educators to support and foster personalised learning, diversity, collaboration, communication and inclusiveness for their students with access to technology. Combined with appropriate pedagogy, technology has the potential to imbue many of the ‘life skills’ required to actively participate in the information society, thus preparing students for the world that awaits them. Transformational teaching and learning using technology is imperative given the job market our students of today will be confronted with and will revolve around the life skills required for the knowledge economy. Support teachers & schools by providing them with qualitative and supportive feedback where they may be in their pedagogy as it relates to technology in the classroom.
