Enhancement of elementary level education by technology:
The advancement of the technology has not only influenced the day to day activities,
it has enhanced activities across various sectors. Among these, one sector that has already
been benefited with the introduction of the technology, is the educational sector and the
sector is full of scope as far as the enhancement of the quality of the teaching and learning is
concerned (Berg et al., 2015). The education provided in the elementary school should focus
on the fun based learning as the students in the elementary school loves to learn through
playing. It will improve the cognitive, emotional, physical, sensory, reflective,
communication and social developments of the student.
The problem with the traditional educational model is that it is not always effective
for fun based learning. Students these days loves to use technology. Additionally, with the
help of the technology, it is possible for the teacher to engage more with the students as the
technology attracts them more than the traditional approach of the teaching (Ertmer et al.,
2015). Although the traditional educational system has been for a long time, before the
technology has been introduced in the educational sector, the technology based learning has
been started to gain attention and it is also being loved by the student as well as the teaching
community. As part of the technology based learning many online games, storytelling apps,
and online tools has been introduced in the curriculum and it has been successful in attracting
students, much more than the traditional one (Sandholtz , 2014). Another factor that makes
the technology based learning apart is the concept of one to one learning. With the help of the
technical devices like tablets, desktop computer, smart phones, it is possible to design the
personalised learning for effective learning.
Nowadays, the technological devices are very common in the households. There are
many online tools that has been introduced in the classroom for better communication
