Individual Technology

• Use of one interface per student (computers, iPads, etc.), be it through school technology or personal technology
• Using the pre-existing skills of students to facilitate their own learning (Howell 2018)
• Allowing more self-direction in learning
• Ex. finding one's own photo editing technique online to complete an assignment uniquely, in my own experience
• Easing integration of social skills with learning
• Technology is seen by youth as an interpersonal venture, which lends itself to class discussions/peer-to-peer assistance
• Allows students who find it difficult to access traditional schooling (lack of interest, attentional or behavioural disorders, etc.) a more amenable point of entry into the subject matter
• Greater range of content/programs available
