Recent years have seen schools shift their focus from traditional learning methods to digital learning strategies such as interactive whiteboards and virtual classrooms. While this technology is useful, one tool remains essential for helping students get the most out of their educational experience: the classroom printer.
Timothy Thomas, Epson country manager for Epson South Africa, comment: “While the benefits of technology and its applications in education cannot be overstated, we still cannot get away from the fact that print continues to bridge the digital divide and gives children from less fortunate communities and schools a cost-effective opportunity to access information.
Several studies have shown that reading in print improves understanding of information, memory, and recall, which is why printers are still the ultimate school tool because of their portability and ability to provide materials that can be easily shared among students and classrooms.The use of printed material is crucial for early childhood development.
