Reading: The Digital School Day
Every morning, students around the world start their day using technology. Some read short messages from their teachers on their phones. Others check their online schedules or watch a quick video with instructions for the day. In many schools, students now use tablets instead of notebooks. They complete activities, send homework, and even read digital books. Although technology makes learning easier, it can also be distracting. For this reason, teachers often encourage students to use apps that help them stay focused. Overall, technology is changing the way students learn, both inside and outside the classroom.
