In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, the ability to learn quickly and adopt new skills is essential for all students, regardless of their career path. Student-led learning not only motivates students to seek knowledge throughout the learning process, it also gives them the creative freedom to take the lead in their learning experience. Educators recognize the importance of student-led learning, with 65% of U.S. K-12 educators citing it a valuable skill for the 21st century.
This approach shifts the focus from traditional rote learning to self-directed exploration of personal interests within broader learning objectives set by teachers.
One way educators can give students more autonomy in the learning experience is by giving them choices and flexible hardware. In classrooms driven by learning applications, technology tools expand what students can do and how they can do it. Teachers can use technology to their advantage to inspire creative thinking and provide students with the opportunity to express knowledge in a way that's meaningful to them
Enabling students to create interactive and engaging content allows them to demonstrate mastery skills and deeper understanding of a subject. When creating content, easy-to-use tools are needed to encourage autonomous learning, especially as students’ bodies, motor and digital skills develop. The Logitech Pen for Chromebook or Logitech Crayon for iPad® are great companion tools for educational apps. Students of all ages can write, take notes, annotate and highlight passages and draw. Because these styluses mimic physical writing, they provide greater precision and comfort than a finger on the screen. This helps students express ideas more confidently.
