Dear students learning tools and technology enable you to develop effective self-directed learning skills. You are able to identify what you need to learn, find and use online resources, apply the information on the problem at hand, and even evaluate resultant feedback. This increases your efficiency and productivity. In addition to engaging students, digital learning tools and technology sharpen critical thinking skills, which are the basis for the development of analytic reasoning. Children who explore open-ended questions with imagination and logic learn how to make decisions, as opposed to just temporarily memorizing the textbook.
