For a while, people had to find new ways of keeping themselves busy and a majority of those activities were done through a screen. Whether it was online learning, zoom meetings for work or with friends, watching/creating videos, or reading the news.  Now that online learning isn't our only option and, for the most part, teachers and students are back in the classroom, some may try to avoid technology altogether. And after the past couple of years we've had, I completely understand why they may limit their screen time, but it doesn't need to be eliminated. Technology can still be a useful tool for everyone when used correctly. In a recent article by Edutopia, Ava Robinson discusses how technology can be an [effective tool in elementary schools](https://www.edutopia.org/article/effective-uses-technology-elementary-school). How does SchoolInfo provide effective uses of technology both in and out of the classroom? Continue reading for a couple of examples of how we can help ensure technology is being used productively.  One useful way Ava suggests using technology is as an educational tool. For example, a teacher can create a short video or audio clip to provide their students with more information on a lesson or assignment. With a branded mobile app by SchoolInfo, these clips can always be accessible to students by using the [conversations](https://blog.schoolinfoapp.com/blog/10-ways-to-use-in-app-conversations)feature to send them in the class's group chat or linking them from the teacher's contact page. Technology can also be useful in helping students and their guardians keep track of their assignments and upcoming school events. This can all be done right from an app by SchoolInfo. When an app is used instead of a physical planner to keep track of important upcoming events, not only is the information easily available but users will receive [push notifications](https://blog.schoolinfoapp.com/blog/never-miss-out-on-important-info-with-schoolinfo) with reminders or event changes. Using these features can help a child start to learn valuable organization and planning skills at a young age.  Although we understand that an excessive amount of screen time can have a negative impact on a child’s wellbeing, it isn’t necessary to limit it entirely. Using technology can spark students’ creativity and allow them to further their learning and developmental skills. SchoolInfo is here to provide you with the tools your community needs to succeed.
