Technology Benefits Schools
With the difficulties schools are facing currently, they must change their lesson plans to enable them to be carried out from home rather than the classroom.
Schools have been forced to close due to current concerns to health with coronavirus causing an impact on the UK.
The schools have had to look at their lesson plans and enable them to carry out remotely so students can self isolate whilst ensuring their education is not being affected during the school’s closure.
That’s why we think it is pleasing to see that several education suppliers are actively supporting schools with free resources and tools for the schools who have had to move to remote learning.
