How Touchscreens Keep Students Engaged in Summer School

Touchscreens in the classroom spark imagination and make learning fun.  Digitally enhanced learning processes are highly visual and make summer school more effective for keeping students motivated.

How Touchscreens Foster Inclusivity and Creativity in The Classroom

Here are 7 ideas for touchscreens to improve learning in summer school:

1. Touchscreen software capabilities include the “Plug & Play” feature which captivates students and offers alluring visual elements that make learning imaginative, competitive, rewarding, and fun.
2. Touchscreens support active learning.  This innovative technology allows teachers to show videos and slides for a more dynamic learning process. A notable example that pairs nicely with the video/slide feature would be the topic, The World’s Most Fascinating International Cities. Like taking students on a virtual vacation, teachers can captivate students with videos and slides that cover exciting destinations with unique cultures.
3. Collaboration between students is simple with interactive touchscreens.  Students can work side by side or as a team, even if some of them are attending remotely. This opens lots of possibilities for learning games and healthy competition in the summer school.
4. Touchscreens foster engagement, an essential element in making summer school effective. When students have touchscreen access, students tend to pay closer attention and retain information longer. Research on EdTech recently revealed that students who utilize touchscreens are more motivated.
5. Advanced touchscreen technology helps to measure student progress and achievements more efficiently. Teachers can get immediate feedback so that they can monitor progress and share it with the class. Students also have more control over progress checkpoints and find it much more interesting and fun as opposed to the traditional report card or paper progress report. 
6. Touchscreens appeal to multiple learning styles, increasing inclusivity. The video, multimedia, and gaming capabilities of touchscreens adapt easily to the needs of auditory and visual learners. Features like wireless screen-sharing make lessons more accessible for students with disabilities. 
7. Touchscreens build a community mindset. When students are involved in a lesson on an interactive display, it creates space for a common experience and builds morale in the classroom. A community mindset boosts motivation for collaborative projects, presentations, research, learning games, and classroom contests.
