Many things have changed as a result of using technology, and the educational system is no exception. Traditionally, education was carried out in classroom settings, printed paperwork, physical learning environment, and so on. However, with the advancement of technology in schools these days, the education system has been completely changed.
For instance, the paper-based record system has been greatly reduced by the use of an automated system. Almost all administrative tasks can now be managed through a school management system. Not to mention, the amount of time saved on tedious and time-consuming tasks.
Although both educational systems have their pros and cons, let us compare them to see which one is best for you.
Communication
It’s no surprise that physical interaction is ideal when it comes to communicating effectively. However, have you ever considered how the use of technology can make communications become much more efficient?
Particularly when it comes to informing parents and students about the most recent school news and important updates. With our Little Family Room App, communication becomes reliable and efficient between parents, teachers and even administrators. As they can all communicate directly with each other within the system itself, whenever it’s needed.
Administrative task
Record-keeping is one of the major hassles in the traditional educational system. The majority of the teacher's time is spent manually managing records rather than focusing on the student's overall learning progress.
Manual record keeping can now be replaced by automating the task with a school management system. The best part is that all student’s information and datas gets added to the cloud database -- which means, administrators are able to access them anytime of the day by simply login to their portal. It not only automates time-consuming tasks, but it also reduces the amount of paper used!
Affordability
You may think that a smart school management system would cost more in comparison to a traditional education system. Here's food for thought.
Since manual data entry and record-keeping consumes a lot of time and it is more prone to mistakes, therefore, it leads to more cost – doesn’t it?
On the contrary, a school management system enables quick and accurate data management tasks, which saves time and is cost effective too. LittleLives not only provides reliable data extraction, but can also be consolidated into easy to read graphs, charts and numerical data
Flexibility
We are no longer living in a time where students are graded solely on the basis of a traditional education system. Instead, students are now encouraged to perform at a pace they are comfortable in.
A school management system like LittleLives, allows teachers to store and organize portfolios digitally. Apart from being a storage system, parents can also view them whenever teachers share their children's progress via an app.
Having a digital portfolio comes with an added benefits including:
- A record of a student's ongoing development over a period of time
- Information to help you curate content and lesson plans
- Students can be more involved in the portfolio creation
- Strengthening home-and-school communication
To sum it up
A smart school management system is designed to make your life easier. It is the nervous system for your institution around which other technologies are incorporated. It is, in fact, a master plan to regulate administrative operations in a consolidated, integrated, efficient and smooth way to increase the productivity of your school.
If you are still looking for a system that will work well for your school’s operations, you can contact LittleLives to see how we can help!
