Students who are engaged and interested in things they are studying, are expected to have a better knowledge retention. As mentioned before, technology can help to encourage active participation in the classroom which also is a very important factor for increased knowledge retention. Having an iPad in the technology center will allow me to individualize instruction to cater to the specific needs of the student. Each day the children visit 3 centers in rotation. Having one of these center rotations as a technology center to reinforce previously taught content reinforces that objective.
No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different abilities. Having a technology center will benefit the students allowing for great opportunities to make learning more effective. What is more, technology can provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students.
A flexible seating classroom is one in which traditional seating charts are replaced with seating arrangements that allows the student to sit where they choose. One of its principal objectives is to reduce the duration of sedentary periods. Research has shown this to increase academic participation, performance and sense of community.
