The Learning LabMaking use of emerging technology
Future of Technology in Education“ … students are growing up in an ever-
changing technological world and, as
educators, we need to keep ahead, be
innovative, and integrate technology
effectively and securely into the curriculum.
Technology helps to motivate our students,
keep them engaged, aids communication
and creativity, and helps them to develop
the skills to work collaboratively” http://www.innovatemyschool.com/ideas/item/265-the-rise-of-technology-in-education.html

“I’ve been down about four times, and every group I’ve used the Lab with have just
been in awe of the technology”
“When we’ve gone back to class … they’ve had that practical knowledge to
relate back to and it worked fantastically well”

Student Experiences
Any volunteer opportunities? (Please!)
Fantastic experience. Well
presented, makes me feel even
better about studying at D&A
Thank you for having us at Dundee and Angus College. We really enjoyed learning about the 3D printers and the fun apps, especially Dragon Quest because we got to take pictures with mythical monsters. We found learning about the V&A and the waterfront on the iPad very interesting and cool. We found the quiz fun as well. Thank you again.
P7a pupils from Craigiebarns
A lot of fun- easy to visualise where technology is headed in future. Really worth spending
time here.
It was very, very cool to have a
chance to try out new technology.
Love to see more!

Lessons Learned
• Identify a space if you can – a box of technology just doesn’t have the same impact!
• Staff or volunteers to support staff and learners to work successfully with digital technologies.
• Collaborate with others; Bring skills together and share knowledge and ideas.
• Identify projects which will bring out employability and digital skills.
• Discuss real-life examples of how innovative technology is being used. Bring in industry and highlight employment opportunities.
• Don’t be afraid of what you don’t know. Build on your own digital capabilities.
