Stories from the field

The Evolution of Education: From Traditional to Digital


The world of education has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with the advent of digital technologies playing a crucial role in this shift. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this change, as schools were forced to adopt remote learning practices in order to continue educating students.


For many years, the Department of Education had been working to incorporate technology into the classroom. However, the implementation of these technologies was hindered by a number of factors, including the lack of confidence and resistance from seasoned teachers. Despite the availability of technology such as Smart Boards, laptops, and printers, the use of technology in classrooms was limited.


The COVID-19 pandemic was a turning point, as it forced educators to rapidly adapt to digital teaching methods. Many teachers were ill-prepared for this sudden shift and were given little notice before transitioning to remote instruction. This presented a significant challenge, but also an opportunity for technology teachers to step in and provide support and guidance.


The traditional teacher of the past, who relied solely on in-person instruction, is no longer the norm. Today's educators must be adaptable and skilled in utilizing digital technologies to effectively teach and engage students in a remote setting. This evolution of education has opened up new possibilities for innovation and growth in the field, and is a necessary step towards a more equitable and inclusive educational system for all students.

Self Care

As a dedicated educator, it's easy to become so focused on the needs of your students that you neglect your own. With daily planning and preparation, it can be difficult to find time for self-care. But it's important to remember that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your students.


Self-care is essential for educators to maintain their well-being and effectiveness in the classroom. Instead of waiting for the summer months to prioritize self-care, try incorporating it into your daily routine. This can include activities such as breath work, body scanning, mindfulness, exercise, meditation, spending time with family and friends, and even treating yourself to a massage or hair cut.


Think of it this way, when you're on an airplane, the flight attendants always instruct you to put on your own oxygen mask first, so that you can then help others. As an educator, you have anywhere from 20-30 children in your care on any given day. How can you effectively support and care for them if you haven't taken care of yourself first? Self-care is your oxygen, and it's essential to positively maximize your potential and effectiveness as an educator.


Remember, self-care is not selfish, it's necessary for our well-being and ability to give our best to our students. Be kind to yourself and make self-care a priority.
