From chalk and blackboard to digital classroom

With the rapid development of technology, in response to the need for educational innovation, teachers must also change the way they impart knowledge. Classrooms are no longer just traditional chalk and blackboards, but are also supported by technology with digital classrooms, smart classrooms, etc.

“Moving” Classroom

At Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School (Ea Knuec commune), class 5A1 has become a smart classroom thanks to the appearance of modern educational technology.

At the beginning of the lesson, Mr. Ho Van Toan - the homeroom teacher used the application "Lucky Wheel" to randomly select students to come to the board to do exercises; click to choose rewards (books, stories, school supplies) when they answered correctly. Mr. Toan also used a TV connected to the computer to show the lecture, review and present important knowledge of the lesson throughout the lesson.

According to teacher Ho Van Toan, students study 2 sessions/day so teachers do not assign homework. Instead, using technology applications (Canva, ShubClassroom...) helps teachers have more time to support students who have difficulty in absorbing lessons. "The widespread application of technology helps teachers have more time to research lectures, create ways to organize lessons suitable for each class and each subject," teacher Toan emphasized.

Ms. Vo Thi Huong Trang, IT teacher at Le Hong Phong High School (Tay Hoa commune) shared: “In class, to create excitement and a lively atmosphere, teachers not only teach but also organize interactive activities. I use wordwall, canva AI or wayground to create crossword games, quick puzzles, closely following the lesson content.

In addition, classroom management and assignment assignments have also become more effective thanks to applications such as BeeClass to track progress, or Padlet to organize students to work in groups and present ideas creatively. All these tools help teachers build a modern, interactive and effective learning environment.

New capacity of teachers

17 years ago, the 2008-2009 school year was the year the education sector began to apply information technology, innovate financial management and build friendly schools and active students; thereby laying the foundation for the development of digital education today.

Nowadays, the application of technology has become a daily activity of teachers and students. Lectures have been digitized into presentation files containing many illustrative images and videos , making teaching and learning more vivid and flexible. For students, technology is not only a tool but also a bridge to promote creativity, self-study ability, and self-research anytime, anywhere.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Hang, a History teacher at Nguyen Anh Hao Secondary School (Tay Hoa Commune), the innovation in teaching methods has changed students' perspectives on History in a positive direction.

There are many history lessons from 1945 to now on the internet. Lessons about the early period of the nation's founding and before the Christian era are rare, so teachers can apply digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to create videos according to their own teaching direction to create interest for students.

“In the teaching process, I directly apply AI to let students participate in games, or apply digital technology and AI to summarize lessons so that students can easily remember and access lessons faster,” said Ms. Hang.

Technology has become an indispensable tool but also poses a big problem for teachers: how to equip students with awareness and responsibility when using AI?

According to Associate Professor Dr. Le Duc Niem, Vice Principal of Tay Nguyen University, teachers must not only impart knowledge but also become “guides”, helping students distinguish between reliable information and potential “traps”. Educating students about the awareness of learning and using AI responsibly is the core issue.

“Responsibility is not an “app” that can be downloaded but must be cultivated from personal awareness. Teachers need to have the ability to guide and accompany students to develop critical thinking; encourage learners not to depend entirely on AI but to check, analyze and evaluate information independently. How to teach students how to use AI as a support tool to improve performance and creativity, instead of copying or cheating,” Dr. Niem emphasized.
