A mother reflects on her 11-year-old son's natural use of technology at home, where he engages in various activities like video gaming, learning from YouTube, creating stop-motion films, and using AI to help with homework. Technology fosters his curiosity and creativity, making him an active learner.However, the traditional education system, with its outdated methods and large class sizes, leaves him disengaged and bored. The solution, the mother suggests, is integrating educational technology (EdTech) that combines personalized learning with traditional teaching. She shares her experience with an app that teaches Arabic and motivates students, highlighting the importance of using technology in classrooms to enhance learning.She concludes by advocating for a future where technology empowers students to be ethical, analytical, and adaptable, with teachers facilitating personalized learning paths.
