John Malcolm from technology-digital.com explores the growth of technology being adopted by schools in his latest article as a great way to teach and learn.

We whole heartedly agree and have long been advocates of integrating modern technology with an ever evolving curriculum of activities to give the professionals of tomorrow the best start. Here are a few of the cool gadgets worth shouting about:

• VTech Nitro Jams Notebook - Encourage that natural flare for music with over 40 fun activities for 5-12 year olds

• Livescribe Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen - Never miss a word with this ingenious pen that remembers everything you've written in digital format, just in case it gets something sticky spilled on it

• Nexus 7 - The thin, light and portable Android tablet gives access to a range of educational apps to make learning fun and interactive

• Kindle Fire - Do more than just learn to read, bring their imagination to life with the blazing Kindle Fire

• 3D Interactive Smart Globe - Can't remember where you put your keys? well at least you will always remember where Ecuador is! The 3D interactive globe feeds back all the geographical information you need to stay entertained whilst learning about the world.

We would like to add to this exciting list with a little category we think fit in perfectly in schools everywhere.

• Portable Projection - A Personal Projector is the perfect way to make lessons more interactive and fun from anywhere, whether you're in the classroom or on a field trip. Create an image up to 90" from one of the ultra-portable Pico Genie LED projectors in stunning quality for a high tech learning experience. Compatible with all kinds of portable devices like iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S4, smartphones with video out, Laptops, Tablets (like the Nexus above) and more.
