Digital Literacy

Starfire is sharing the top 5 benefits to students and teachers of learning in the Virtual Classroom. Today, we’re talking about how students are learning to use technology safely and productively.

Responsible use of technology

Young students are often proficient gamers and enthusiastic social media users. However, many will benefit from upskilling when it comes to using technology responsibly and for productive, mature purposes. A Starfire coding teacher says, “Functional, actionable technology knowledge increases while using our learning platform. Features that are a part of the online platform are discovered in the process of teaching. I have so many students who get fascinated by Zoom as a platform and its many functionalities and ask good questions about software architecture.”

Technological fluency

The fact that students are constantly attached to screens doesn’t mean that they know how to adapt to technology effectively and with a productive purpose. Learning in Starfire’s virtual classroom provides valuable lessons in how to adapt to new systems and software, and how to troubleshoot technical issues. Teacher Supriya says, “Teaching a technology class on a technology platform is an ideal way of delivering the class”
