💻 This article from We Are Teachers highlights the importance of a skill that most people will use every day, but we might not even remember learning- typing! Ironically, the technology-focused younger generations are lacking in this skill because many schools no longer require it, thinking it will be learned “naturally.” This isn’t the case; read on to find out why plus tips on how to help your students learn to type without pecking at the keyboard! 🐔😄 https://lnkd.in/e5vZ_5EF #education #technology #edtech #genalpha #techskills #teachers #weareteachers

Even the youngest students can use technology responsibly, and I love how this article highlights how teachers can focus on the *quality* of the screen time, not just the quantity.

2024 has been an amazing year of learning and growth for both Abena DMS and our educator community—thanks for all the great conversations and shared insights! This year, we've really dug into the challenges facing today's learners in the digital age. Exploring how teachers can use student information (with our soon-to-launch strategies portal) to improve learning outcomes, to understanding the bigger picture of student well-being (like the issues raised in "The Anxious Generation"), one thing's become crystal clear for us we need innovative solutions and smart ways to use technology in education. Whether it's giving teachers better data tools or tackling the impact of tech on student mental health, we're committed to creating resources and sparking conversations that help students thrive in the 21st century. As 2024 wraps up, we're excited to keep working with educators and students in the new year. Thanks for being part of this learning community! Here's to more learning and growth together in 2025! ✨Happy New Year! ✨ Feel free to join our discord as well if you already havent already.
