At Promethean, we keep the teacher-student bond at the center of everything we do. Which is why we\u2019re deepening our understanding of it\u2014by learning firsthand from students how they<\/em> believe technology can empower them socially, emotionally, and academically.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a student perspective on the edtech transformation journey. And it\u2019s fascinating. Explore our three key takeaways below.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a closer look at the connections between interactivity and student engagement, download Creating Transformation Classrooms<\/a>\u2014our guide to evaluating digital tools for K-12 education\u2014today.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transformation classrooms: the student perspective<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Technology helps students focus on their lessons.<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Concerns about technology distracting students from the work at hand can be put to rest for good. In fact, quite the opposite is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our 2022\/2023 State of Technology in Education Report<\/em> found that, of students surveyed, 96% feel technology makes their lessons more interesting; 88% think technology helps them understand their lessons better; and 84% believe technology helps them focus on their lessons more effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly why dissolving digital barriers is a key capability of the transformation classroom\u2014and why seamless connectivity<\/em> is a leading design priority for Promethean. Removing friction invites focus. That includes effortless integration with go-to educational apps and platforms, and flawless sharing between interactive displays and student and teacher devices, even without WiFi.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Students think their teachers are tech-savvy. <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given our passion for professional development, we were pleased to see that 90% of students in our survey consider their teachers to be tech proficient.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were also delighted to find that teacher-student collaboration is thriving\u2014with 80% of students telling us their teachers make them want to learn, and 78% reporting that their teachers care about them and make them happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These metrics remind us why simplicity<\/em> is so important in edtech. A panel that\u2019s easy to sign into and ready to use the moment you turn it on; custom settings that follow you from display to display via a cloud-based user profile; the ability to effortlessly capture lessons and securely share them anywhere\u2014they\u2019re just some of the ways an intuitive experience builds tech confidence, saving teachers\u2019 energy for engagement and connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Students are craving immersive and dynamic lessons.<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When asked what they would most want to change about their school, only 22% of students responded they\u2019d like more focus on their individual needs: a sign that social-emotional learning initiatives are working.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the list? More technology, please\u2014and a desire for engaging content, with 60% of students putting \u201cmore interesting lessons\u201d at the top of their wish list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings us right back to the transformation classroom: a learning environment where lessons become experiences<\/em>, rich in media, interactivity, and opportunities for real-time collaboration and assessment. Here, technology serves the human dynamics that make learning possible. And students are leading the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
