The desire to learn drives student engagement rather than the need to achieve certain exam results, and it is not dependent on the presence of technology, according to instructional technologist, PatnoudesEric Patnoudes, writing for Ed Tech Magazine. Mr. Eric Patnoudes believes students will be truly engaged in assignments that challenge them at a level ideal for their abilities, and such engagement is often achieved through participation in “authentic and relevant activities,” rather than through the introduction of technology. Therefore, he believes that teachers should prioritise involving students in these kinds of experiences, rather than searching for technology to engage them.
