I use technology to give students a voice and become critical digital citizens.

Year 7-9 teacher and digital innovator, Innovitaskolan in Helsingborg, Sweden, employs technology to empower students to become active digital citizens. Rather than replacing educators, technology in the classroom provides students with the freedom to satisfy their curiosity and assume control over their education.

Utilizing tools such as Google Sites, Gemini Notebook, and Google Vids, the teacher guides students from merely absorbing information to creating content of their own. Collaborative Google Sites serve as platforms where students share their knowledge, thereby enhancing their analytical abilities. Through self-paced study notebooks, students engage in independent learning. Additionally, they leverage Google Vids to transform their ideas into engaging video presentations.

Central Education Developer at Innovitaskolan emphasizes the importance of giving each child an equal opportunity to collaborate, think critically, and express themselves. On World Teachers Day, the school celebrates the transformative power of combining exceptional teaching with supportive technology. This synergy cultivates confident, capable students, prepared for the challenges of the future.
