Tools of the Trade
Technology’s Impact on Education
Today’s technology shapes tomorrow’s greatest tools. Digital innovations can provide military-connected students with accessible and interactive solutions to address the challenges and opportunities that come with military life.
With technology, students can learn from and leverage countless resources that will personalize learning experiences and create their own sense of consistency in an ever evolving in-person and online landscape.
Join us at the 2025 MCEC Global Training Summit (GTS) for a series of sessions highlighting 3 Areas of Impact to consider when evaluating the role that technology plays in how military-connected children navigate the changes and circumstances unique to being a military kid.
2025 Areas of Impact:
Enhancing Academics
The continued use of technology in the classroom provides the opportunity for students to explore new information and techniques through digital tools. The students feel empowered to pursue areas of interest, to ask big questions, and seek out their own answers inside and outside the classroom.
Personal Development in the Digital Era
Research demonstrates the growing influence that technology has on students’ cognitive, psychological, organizational, and physical development. Promoting a healthy relationship with technology and a balance between online and offline activities can positively contribute to students’ overall well-being.
Adult Guidance with Technology
Beyond academics, cultivating connections and striving to make a difference in the lives of their peers, teachers, family members, and the broader community constitute equally important indicators of a student’s success. Taking advantage of technological improvements in communication and collaboration can aid in students’ efforts to create quality connections and promote positive change for others. However, technological advancements can also be inhibitors of genuine relationships. Trusted adults are instrumental in helping students utilize digital tools safely. Adults model how students can engage in important issues to connect and actively influence the world around them.
