On Thursday, the 29th of November, we had “The Day without technology” at our school.
Our eco team went around the school and made some videos and interviews with students and teachers to find out how they feel. As we could see, most of our students have accepted to spend a day without technology. All of the students agreed that they talked much more to each other that day and played some games together for the rest of the time instead of looking at their mobile phones.
Teachers which are actively using technology every day in their classroom had many problems that day. They said it is easier to present a new lecture with technologies like smart-board, tablet or overhead projector. It is faster, more visible and easier to present. Without any technology, teachers had only the blackboard, chalk and paper at their disposal. Some students said it was great to see the way how their parents were taught at school.
The day without technology was a great experience and we real want to do it again!
