Technology in schools can help the staff just as much as it can help the children with their learning. One of the ways in which it is doing this is through an automatic attendance system. Once the attendance of the pupils has been entered into the system it is set up so that it will automatically send an automated phone message to the parent or guardian of any child that is not in school without a reason. Some systems are also set up so that they will send out a text message. This makes the school office‘s life much easier and also makes it much harder for pupils to play truant, which can only be a good thing.
