The Day Technology Came to School

1

Once upon a time there was a school called Dark Age Primary School.

2

At Dark Age Primary School there was a teacher. She used stand up in front of the class and write all sorts of things up on the blackboard and expect the children to listen to her all day.

3

The children hated school, it was sooooo boring. All they did was read off the blackboard, listen to the teacher and write in their notebooks. It was the same thing day after day after year after year.

4

Then on one particular morning when the children were dragging their feet to school and complaining to their mums that they didnt feel well and didnt want to go to school. Something magical happened....

5

A huge gust of wind blew and the sky appeared bluer, the sun shone brighter and now there was a strange but exciting feeling in the air.

6

As the children entered the classroom they noticed the blackboard was missing and in its place was an electronic white board where stories, overheads and games could be played. Their books were no longer on their desks but on the book shelf and in their place sat portable computers called notebooks.

7

The teacher was replaced by a learning manager and she began by telling the class that today they were going to create their own story, not using pens and paper but TECHNOLOGY, the children looked around with smiles on their faces. They used this at home and knew all about it, but never thought it could be used at school especially for learning!

8

That day at school and the day after that and the year after and for many, many more years after that, the children enjoyed learning. They were able to be creative, play games, watch videos be able to talk on line to other teachers, other children and people outside the classroom even from other countries.

9

Now the children love going to school and learning. The School isnt called Dark Age Primary School anymore but Digital Age Primary School and they all lived happily ever after.

The End.
