Despite being a year of global upheaval, 2020 brought about a number of major developments in digital solutions in education, such as the widespread switch to online schooling, the rise in the use of apps and hybrid learning. It's likely that teaching will continue to make use of digital technology for the foreseeable future. With this comes new challenges and developments.

So what are the projected trends in teaching for the new year? Read on to find out what's in store for 2021 and beyond.

1. Nanolearning

The information age has brought with it a decline in attention spans and an increase in screen fatigue. Our brains are bombarded with distracting alerts and notifications day in day out. They respond to these signals with an increase in the stress hormone cortisol. As a result, we are physically unable to concentrate and process large amounts of information.

So how do we approach this problem in the classroom?

The answer may lie in nanolearning.

In a nutshell, nanolearning is a bite-sized learning solution. It involves providing students with information in smaller amounts, over a shorter period of time.

Learning in short bursts is proven to increase our ability to take in and retain information. By providing your students with small, "pellet" like bits of information, you are much more likely to increase their productivity, capture their attention and aid their ability to learn.

The four keys for effective nanolearning in the classroom are:

1. Identify the students' needs

2. Set the learning objectives

3. Choose your content e.g. videos, apps, podcasts

4. Keep it short; recommended within 2-5 minutes

2. Virtual reality and augmented reality

Ground-breaking virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology are coming to the classroom.

Immersive VR experiences require a VR headset. This has a digital interface which projects images, creating a real or virtual world that users can see and interact with. It also includes gesture controls and easy-to-use teacher controls.

While some VR headsets are undoubtedly expensive, Google Cardboard and similar alternatives offer a more affordable VR experience - the user only needs to insert a smartphone into the viewer.

AR, on the other hand, can be accessed simply through a smartphone or tablet.

In a similar way, the technology projects images, sound and video using the device camera and is displayed via the screen. However, rather than immerse the viewer in another reality, it layers these images on top of what can be seen on the camera. As a simple example, Google search allows you to see different animals in your environment, so you could be looking at a panda sitting next to your desk! Try it yourself by searching for "panda" on your smart device.

Students engage with digital technologies like VR because it inspires them to think beyond the four walls of the classroom.

So how can you incorporate AR and VR into the classroom?

1. Field trips - helpful for art, geography and history lessons, among others, VR can take students on a tour around the best galleries, museums and cities in the world, without leaving the classroom.

2. Virtual careers - VR offers the opportunity for students to find out about a range of careers. It literally puts the student in another's shoes, meaning they can gain first hand experience of what it's like to do different jobs.

3. High-tech training - highly influential for students who are thinking about pursuing a career in areas like the military or medicine, VR and AR can project real life training. For example, it can show students the anatomy of the body from the inside out.

4. Language immersion - the best way to learn a language is total immersion. VR can immerse students in a foreign language, by virtually placing them in the middle of a virtual world, hearing only their target language.

3. Project-based learning

Project-based learning is a teaching method that actively engages the students in real-life projects. The idea is that students 'learn by doing', with teachers acting as the hands-on facilitator.

The objective is to have students investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question or issue. They will develop critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication skills; all of which are highly sought after 21st century skills, valued by employers.

Some topics for projects to set your students include:

Finding solutions to a local environmental problem

Coming up with alternative energy sources

Analysing photography or photojournalism

Voicing opinions on a popular debate

So how does project-based learning work in the classroom? One idea for leading a class with this method is to:

1. Put students in groups of 4 or 5

2. Ask them to brainstorm some ideas for their project

3. Have class feedback and choose the one they will focus on

4. Then ask students to research their particular subject area together

5. Next ask them to put together a presentation digitally so they can practise using design and technology

6. Finally, ask students to present their project to the rest of the class and encourage feedback and discussion.

4. Experiential learning

Student disengagement is on the increase. Often, teachers find them on their mobile phones, zoning out or talking to friends. However, a new way to tackle this is gaining momentum: enter experiential learning.

Now common in schools worldwide, this learning approach involves immersing students in real-world situations. It offers first-hand experiences in which they need to practice planning, decision-making, teamwork and more.

Although this can be done out of the classroom, for example going to the zoo or visiting museums, in 2021 it is predicted to shift online.

So, what online experiential learning activities are there?

1. Collaborative exercises - provide students with a problem or debate in teams and ask them to come up with ideas and solutions. This could be a philosophical debate or a mock business problem to get them thinking about a range of scenarios.

2. Role-playing - get students to act out different scenarios. An imaginary situation can teach students how different actions and behaviours can affect outcomes.

3. Field work - students are asked to go out and collect data. This could be done online through questionnaires and surveys, which can then be presented to the class.

5. Online schooling

Online learning is the most popular educational trend for 2021 - albeit one born out of necessity in 2020. Of course, with developments in edtech, this is now becoming possible on a large scale. Sped up by the pandemic, schools have been forced to experiment more with online learning.

So, why is online learning so popular? Not only is it flexible and cost-effective, it's also accessible to a wider range of learners as it removes the concept of 'location'. Therefore, it can be seen as breaking down barriers in education and opening up the door to a wider pool of students.

In 2019 Pearson partnered with Harrow School to enable the launch of their new online sixth form, Harrow School Online. Their aim is to open up their education to high-performing children from anywhere in the world, who would like to take their A-levels at a prestigious, high-quality British school.

Pearson is providing the technology that underpins the online school, which opened in September 2020. The new year is likely to see more online schools being created around the world - and more schools integrating online schooling into their bricks and mortar offering to extend and deepen their curriculum offering.

We're looking forward to seeing what happens in 2021. What other trends do you think will appear in the new year?

Abstract

ICTs are making dynamic changes in society. They are influencing all aspects of life. Similarly, there is no doubt that ICT brings a massive change in the field of education also. It makes teaching- learning process effective and interesting. To know the impact of ICT in education we need to know two basic things- ICT and education. The ICT is an umbrella that includes any communication device or application, encompassing, radio, television, cellular phones, computer, and network hardware and software, satellite system and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as video conferencing and distance learning. Such technologies are used for educational purposes, namely to support and improve the learning of student and develop learning environments. ICT can be considered as a sub field of educational technology. The paper discusses the role and effect of ICTs, and how they can promote future growth and development. In educational system, the inputs are teachers, students, classroom materials, equipment of teaching, methods of teaching and the outputs are quantity as well as quality of student learning. The proper integration of ICT with teaching/ learning environment increases the chance of gaining education along with increased productivity. Information communication technologies are influencing all aspects of life including education. They are promoting changes in working conditions, handling and exchanging of information, teaching-learning approaches and so on. One area in which the impacts of ICT is significant, is education. ICTs are making major differences in the teaching approaches and the ways students are learning. ICT-enhanced learning environment facilitates active, collaborative, creative, integrative, and evaluative learning as an advantage over the traditional method. In addition, the major promises of ICTs use in education systems of developing countries focus on training teachers in new skills and introducing innovative pedagogies into the classrooms, investing on ICT infrastructure for schools and creating networks among educational institutes, improving overall standard of education by reducing the gap in quality of education between schools in urban and rural areas, initiation of smart school with objectives to foster self-paced, self-assessed, and self-directed learning through the applications of ICTs, and developing ICT policy for education and training.

Home > General > Top 4 Education Trends In 2021 Which are Transforming The Industry

They say change is the only constant node in life and we find it holds true at every step of the way. Let's take a look at how our means of communication have changed from the epistolary to the digital era. Many opine that we are currently going through the Fourth Industrial revolution. Indeed technology undergoes a transformation in lightening speed and along with that vastly alters our everyday lives.

With the advent of the world wide web and its ever-changing innovations, each and every facet of our lives have evolved unrecognisably. Be it our economy where from the days of goods bartering, we have arrived at instantaneous UPI transfers or our transportation modes which have evolved from bullock carts to hybrid self-driven cars, change is palpable in every aspect of our lives. One industry which not only has undergone a change in itself but also has stimulated the change in other domains is that of education.

Come to think of it, be it our digital transformation or the developments in our economies, all are factored upon new inventions which entail extensive degrees of research and study. Therefore the pivotal arena where change is taking place and rightfully so is the education sector.

Even in the practical terms, our classrooms and modes of teaching are evolving and upgrading with every passing year to keep pace with the changing trends in the outside world. From the subject matters to the pedagogical methods, the entire process of education has marked a significant degree of progress compared to the yesteryears.

The educational sector has recorded positive changes in every tier of education. Right from the primary classrooms to the university levels, we see newer techniques being deployed in teachings and even reading materials have changed substantially. Within the larger education sector, professional degrees happen to one of the most prominent harbingers of changes. As the cradle of future professionals, these degrees reflect the tides of the times as well as future prospects.

With the rapidly changing industrial space, it is imperative to upgrade our courses and their applications according to the raging needs of the time. The first step to acing that would be to keep abreast of the trends of the current years as well as projected trends of the upcoming years. We have culled out some of the most prominent education trends in 2021 here.

Top Education Trends in 2021

1. Technological Upskilling across domains

Technology and human labour have been pitted against each other traditionally. This is mostly due to the fear that technology is likely to displace humans. However, technology is designed by humans for supporting human labour. So if any, both forge a symbiotic relationship with each other. Once that fear is gotten rid of, the focus must be laid on adapting to the technological developments that come our way.

In that context, technological upskilling has emerged as one of the dominant education trends in 2021. Different industries are heading towards workflow automation. But the human interface is absolutely important for a smooth workflow. Therefore, as more and more businesses adopt cloud convergence, candidates who are savvy with the latest cloud technology are more employable. Accordingly, professional courses are focusing on building cloud-based technological skills.

To match up to the expectations of employers, cloud and related technology training programmes are increasingly becoming popular among both campus-based as well as online educational endeavours.

This is precisely the reason upGrad has launched an Advanced Certification Program in Machine Learning & Cloud with IIT Madras, the best engineering school in the country to create a program that teaches you not only machine learning but also the effective deployment of it using the cloud infrastructure. Our aim with this program is to open the doors of the most selective institute in the country and give learners access to amazing faculty & resources in order to master a skill that is in high & growing demand.

2. Inclusion of soft skills training in curriculum

An important education trend in 2021 is a marked shift from the subject-based rote learning to more skills-oriented learning methods. Educationists are emphasising on the importance of building the aptitude around cognitive thinking, problem solving and management. The application-based syllabus which steers away from mere facts and figures and instead goads the students to apply the learning into real-life scenarios are surfacing more and more.

Parallelly, holistic development of leadership skills, team-building skills, communication skills is being imbued in students through classroom learnings. With the emphasis on both offline and online training, students are being prepared to face real-world challenges.

This is a drastic change from the traditional by-the-book teachings of schools. Students are acquiring the necessary skills which will not only enable them to navigate around the world of work with confidence but also facilitate a well-informed and capable workforce for the days to come.

3. Innovation in the subject matter

Detailing is extremely important in today's day and age. In tune with that, another vital education trend in 2021 captures the variety of subjects that are being included in mainstream college and university curriculum. From applied linguistics to artificial intelligence, from food anthropology to ethical hacking, from culture studies to acabus science, the courses and subject choices available these days are indeed out of the box and revolutionary in many ways.

The course structure and assessment modules are also designed to maintain a practical outlook and take away the stress of memorisation. The acknowledgement that there is merit in studying and a need for studying non-mainstream subjects for better assessment of our current socio-political problems and deducing appropriate solutions is a far cry from the obsession with an engineering or a medical or a law degree. Newer specialisations have opened up more scope of innovations within the professional spheres.

4. Personalised and inclusive learning spaces

A heartening and long overdue education trend in 2021 has to do with more inclusive and accessible learning modules becoming increasingly widespread. Special education modules are no longer limited to only special schools but rather regular schools are adopting inclusive learning facilities for the ease of students living with disabilities. This is likely to have a remarkable impact on the employability of persons with disabilities.

This is another important step towards overcoming the biases against specially abled students. The world is finally waking up to the fact that there are countless Stephen Hawkings whose geniuses are going underutilised just because of the lack of adequate resources and sensibilities. The inclusion of more accessible teaching tools and practices in the classrooms make it a hopeful education trend in 2021.

While the overall education trends in 2021 incline more towards technological transformation and digitisation of classrooms as well as teaching methods, the educational sector seems to have a lot more to offer and to a much diverse audience in the upcoming years. This is likely to be complementary to the developments in the professional fields as well. While this bodes well for those who are still in education, those who have already sat through the benches need not despair yet.

This is because there are numerous Upskilling courses available for even early and mid professionals to wrap their heads around and enhance their professional skills. upGrad is one such online platform which offers a wide array of highly useful upskilling courses that anyone can enrol in and pursue at their own convenience, from the comforts of their homes. As they say, there's no end to learning so what better way to learn than to follow the tides of the times and get ahead of the others through a little help from platforms like upGrad.

The concept of a teacher standing in front of a room full of students who listen and respond to direction is increasingly a thing of the past.

While not an entirely new approach, student learning spaces will supercede the typical classroom that we know today. This will see students become partners or co-creators of their own learning.

"Experiences that allow collaboration, communication and teamwork for all students often happen beyond classroom walls. We need to facilitate for these experiences in context, and our classrooms need to be a reflection of this," McLaughlin says.

They will be set up to allow collaboration to occur on learning projects between individuals, small groups or larger groups.

Classrooms will coexist as physical spaces and online, flipping the current learning model upside down so that students can learn at home and spend class time collaborating and applying their knowledge to real-life issues.

On the penultimate day of SHAPE Education: The Future of Schools, educational technology took centre stage. Mario Barosevcic, Nik Peachy, Gisella Langé, and Jason Tan gave talks and discussed the role they see technology playing in education by 2040. The talks and conversations covered a wide range of topics including: the pedagogy in educational technology, the value of connecting through technology, the need to reflect on how technology can make education more accessible, and participatory approaches to developing educational technology.
The potential of education technology

Mario opened the talks on technology stating that "we are really still in the stone age of edtech". While he acknowledged that there has been a lot of progress, with the development of learning management systems that can foster the "democratisation" of education for example, largely, he argued that technology developments have served institutions and ways of working with little concern for advancing learning. His vision of the future of technology and pedagogy is one in which developers engage with learners as end users, move towards simplified, transparent, and connected technologies, and, crucially, base their decisions on pedagogical knowledge and expertise. To move forward with technology, Mario said we need to be realistic, and he thought that active learning, tailored learning, and "assessment on the go" present opportunities to really make the most of digital pedagogies. In reflecting on the past to consider the future, Mario closed his talk, stating that we have "a long way to go in terms of catching up with the potential of technology for 2021, and there is a lot more potential for 2040". To find out more about Mario's vision of the future of educational technologies, you can check out his talk.

Technology and pedagogy: A new future or a return to the past?

Nik's talk picked up on many of the ideas that Mario discussed. He talked about how uneven the development of digital pedagogies has been. For example, he saw the pandemic dragging many practitioners in education "10 years forward into the present" and doing work that others have been doing for many years. Nik saw schools, edtech companies, and teachers at the centre of educational technology developments, and echoed Mario's point that much of the use of technologies so far has been ineffective and has added little of value to learning and pedagogy. Nik also saw much potential in technology for developing autonomous learning and for connecting people. In fact, he stated that connectivism will be "a very important theory of learning going forward" and, like Silvana Richardson on day three of the event, he argued that nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning. In closing the talk, Nik questioned the role that technology will play in education in 2040. Over the next 20 years, will we drive forward or go back to normal? He hoped to see more and more development, but pointed out that this will not happen without effort from stakeholders at every level. For more on Nik's vision of the future of technology and pedagogy, watch his talk.

In responding to Mario and Nik, Gisella and Jason spotlighted on different aspects of the talks. Gisella thought that the future of education will make use of technology, but will be shaped by curriculum changes, like competence-based learning, echoing Raya Bidshahri's presentation on day two. But, she also noted that schools, as places, will still be really important. This is because, like Teocah Dove discussed on day one, limited access and poor connections have already caused learning loss in her country owing to a lack of resource. So, in Gisella's view, "our conversation should not be how to better develop new tools but how to better use the tools in order that everyone can have access". Jason also highlighted just how early on we are in this journey with educational technology, and pointed to exciting changes whereby curriculum development can be taken out of the hands of small numbers of policy developers. During the event, the attendees were polled with the following question and possible answers:

Where will learners of the future think of when they need to learn?

school

materials provided through school

online platforms like YouTube, Netflix

platforms/places children create themselves

other.

The majority of attendees chose "platforms/places children create themselves" and Jason reflected on this, pointing to his participatory approach to building technology and curricula with teachers, parents, and learners. The conversation that followed delved deep into the role that technology may play in the future of education, so if you're interested, check out the fireside chat and look out for our final blog discussing the last day of the event.

Although technology is finally being integrated into education, its use for teaching and learning still remains a challenge. Despite the fact that many schools today are privileged to have ready access to technology, trained teachers, and a favourable policy environment, the use of technology in the classroom is still low. Some attribute low levels of technology use in education to the pedagogical beliefs of teachers.

With that said, the potential of technology to enhance learning cannot be overemphasized. The use of technology is something that started a long time ago for students with special needs. For example, brail machines have been utilized for the visually impaired. In addition, special needs programs that help children with autism use technology to enhance learning. By integrating technology into education, educators aim to engender pedagogical change and address fundamental issues that affect learners with special needs. Technology can therefore be seen as both a tool and a catalyst for change.

Today, technologies used to improve and facilitate learning can be found everywhere. Leaving other contextual factors to the side - such as unequal access to technological innovations and connected technologies across schools and districts - we can only say that we have embraced technology in education when it is used for both teaching and learning. With the incorporation of technology into schools, the main purpose is to change how teachers and students gather, access, analyse, present and transmit information. This can democratize information in classrooms as well as help differentiate instruction, particularly for students with special needs.

Assistive technology for students with special needs

Assistive technology can be defined as an item, piece of equipment or product system that can be used to maintain, increase or improve functional capabilities for any person with a special need. Thus, the incorporation of educational technology can also provide benefits to students with disabilities who may be in a better position to interact with the lesson through technology. Moreover, technology can place teachers in a better position to customize learning for students with special needs.

What is the relationship between technology in education and pedagogy?

Research has illustrated that many educators have had a hard time integrating technology into education. This may be because many educators have yet to explore the relationship between technology and pedagogy. Doing so could play a huge part in encouraging critical thinking by teachers as they attempt to integrate technology into education.

At the same time, for technology to work effectively, it should only be incorporated in classroom if it is appropriate for a given instructional task. Also, technology can only be an effective teaching tool if teachers participate in decisions to adopt technology. This is because teachers have the responsibility of facilitating instruction and incorporating technology at the classroom level, yet many school administrators tend to make decisions related to technology adoption/training without consulting teachers.

How Technology can be used to Improve Learning

The following are ways that technology could be better leveraged to improve learning:

With the widespread availability of student databases that are able to track individual progress, teachers are encouraged to identify learning objectives and differentiate instruction based on the needs of their students.

Whenever teachers attempt to present instruction using technology, they should do so using a channel that is relevant to the objectives, the learning style, mode and the technology selected.

When evaluating technology-based instruction, there needs to be appropriate evaluation techniques that are in line with the methods of instruction, objectives and the technology.

Teachers can design follow-up activities when using technology to evaluate students' learning and the role technology played in that process.

Overall, technology is central to many sectors of society and its integration into the education process has great promise for student learning. With technology, one can expect increased efficiency and effectiveness on both the part of teachers and students. Technology can also prompt pedagogical change and address issues that affect learning, teaching and social organization. Technology can therefore be seen as both a tool and a catalyst for change. Students should embrace technology for them to benefit and teachers should be open to introducing technology into the classroom to improve and innovate their teaching practice.

Educational Technology Trends In 2020-2021

Big Data, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) were the biggest educational technology trends of 2019. However, distance learning has become the one trend that rules them all. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the way we teach and learn. Students now have to get used to distance learning via digital platforms due to social distancing. Even though some schools are reopening, this trend may continue until 2021. The latest EdTech trends in 2020, and further into 2021 are being revolutionized with a strong focus on connectivity, versatility, and student-centered learning. Let's take a look at the latest top 10 trends in educational technology.

What Is Educational Technology And Why Should It Matter?

Many people can recognize that EdTech is devoting technology to promote education. It's true, but not sufficient. The Association for Educational Communications and Technology ( AECT) has defined EdTech as "facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources." On the other hand, educators who actually use EdTech have a much simpler definition of the term. They say that it is a concept of transforming traditional book teaching and learning to digital form. For them, the main difference lies in the way knowledge is delivered (thanks to technology innovation) to make teaching more effective.

In short, EdTech is simply the is a process of integrating technology into education to build better teaching/learning experiences that result in higher learning outcomes.

For example, several hospitals are training their new nurses with online safety courses by using animation.

Why Should It Matter?

There are lots of reasons why educators shifted to EdTech, replacing the traditional paper-and-pen teaching method. Particularly, we list some common advantages of EdTech that you can easily see here:

Innovative Teaching Methods

Technology is an innovation of humans, so when an educator can apply technology to teaching, it is also innovative. EdTech allows teachers to provide multimedia to address diverse learning styles, such as animation, live video, etc. Besides, EdTech enables teachers to create online courses where students can learn in their own space and at their own pace.

Improve Collaborative Teaching

Technology has made it possible for everyone to stay connected. Students and teachers connect, discuss, share their opinions, and act upon situations collaboratively.

For example, eLearning is an educational tool that features collaboration by enabling students to share and discuss. Instead of being in a classroom and listening to teachers speak for 30 minutes, eLearning students can join an online group/platform and learn together by interacting with their peers. In this case, teachers are more accessible and act as mentors to help students develop themselves. This collaborative learning approach has bridged the gap between teachers and students and also helps students strengthen their interpersonal skills.

Teaching And Learning Process

Firstly, EdTech benefits how teachers teach, both online and offline. Not always having to go to a specific class at a specific time, students can learn whenever and wherever. Secondly, EdTech changes the way students approach learning. EdTech makes learning more fun and exciting for students. When we feel engaged in learning, we learn better, remember better, and also apply knowledge better to real life. Lastly, technology makes education smarter, more effective, thus, satisfying learners' needs more. True educators bring valuable knowledge to learners, both in theory and in real life. But smart educators are those who can create teaching from what learners want to learn.

To sum up, EdTech doesn't mean teachers have to become IT experts. But it's true that teachers can do these fascinating things only with technology, and that's why we need EdTech in life.

Top 10 Current Educational Technology Trends In 2020/2021

If you are an innovative educator, following the trends in education is probably not something new but rather essential. Even with this list, however, it is still up to you to choose the most suitable "trendy" aid for your teaching and training. Here we select the 10 latest educational technology trends that are must-know when diving into this industry.

1. eLearning

Distance learning became the top 2020 educational technology trend overnight because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 and school closures. This led to a rising demand for online educational platforms. eLearning is education or training delivered electronically. It can be slide-based online activities, or it can also be an online course that helps a business train employees in necessary skills.

With eLearning, educational content is delivered to learners through computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones. Not only saving time but opening many doors for interactive learning. Rather than being in a passive experience, learners can choose what they need to learn quickly and easily, wherever they are. They also learn through interacting directly with on-screen information through, for instance, dragging content from one place to the next. Moreover, the decision-making scenarios in eLearning also encourage learners to make their own choices on what they will learn next.

In eLearning, learners just soak in knowledge through reading or viewing content, it changes the way education is delivered. Also, many eLearning courses include animation, podcasts, and videos that create a multimodal and practical learning experience.

The last point is, although eLearning has been around for a long time, it is staying green and continuously developing. Educators are using the advantages of technology to make learning more effective. That's why more and more online and blended learning courses are produced nowadays.

Variety is the outstanding feature of online learning platforms. You can teach your students in real time (synchronous) via live stream or group meetings using Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or you can use recorded (asynchronous) methodologies with a wide range of media and digital functions available to enrich lessons. A good online learning platform can also be combined with a Learning Management System (LMS) so you can keep track of your students' learning outcomes.

2. Video-Assisted Learning

In recent years, video-assisted learning has become more and more popular as classroom displays. The "video day" is no longer a television on a trolley being wheeled into a class. With the internet and digital devices, every day can be a "video day."

This trend is also booming in distance learning conditions, which students learn through computer screens. Videos, especially animated videos, are extremely beneficial to enrich lessons and make content comprehensible. It improves students' outcomes and reduces teachers' workload.

3. Blockchain Technology

The Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) from blockchain brings so many benefits to education, especially data storage. Every time new data is added, it adds another "block" to the system, so the storage is technically limitless. Simultaneously, the data will be encrypted and distributed across multiple computers in the system. It makes transacting data decentralized and transparent.

Blockchain technology is used in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and ePortfolios to verify skills and knowledge. The DLT systems will answer the problems of authentication, scale, and cost for eLearning agencies. Moreover, it can help student applicants publish their accomplishments during the job-seeking phase.

4. Big Data Will Get Bigger

To cater to learners' needs, the learning experience needs to be personalized. And with COVID-19 and online learning booming, we now have bigger data than ever before. Instructional Designers have relevant information about learners' experiences to customize and present the course in a suitable format. Some information you should look for is the course's topic, learner enrollment, learner performance (time per course, completion, test result), and learner feedback (rating, survey).

5. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI now is the "in thing" in the US EdTech market. People have predicted that through 2021, AI could become the primary trend and grow by more than 45%. So why is the trend booming in one of the world's largest markets for EdTech? First and foremost, AI can automate basic activities in education, like grading. It's now possible for teachers to automate grading of the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. Thus, automated grading of students' writing may not be far behind.

Furthermore, both learners and educators could benefit from AI. For example, students could get help from AI tutors when teachers are too busy to take care of everyone. Also, AI-driven programs can give both learners and educators helpful feedback. That's why some schools use AI systems to monitor student progress and to alert teachers when there might be an issue with students' performances. Therefore, it's not too far fetched that AI is a powerful assistant for in-class teaching. Meanwhile, why don't you help your learners get more out of the educational experience via AI?

6. Learning Analytics

The current landscape of learning analytics has dramatically expanded, especially for higher education. Learning analytics allows educators to measure and report student learning just by the web. From that, it's possible for them to better understand and optimize learning.

When teachers read insights from students' learning processes, they can improve the knowledge and skill acquisition of their students accordingly. For instance, teachers are able to see what type of information (text, images, infographics, or videos) that students enjoy most and use it more in their following lessons. Also, teachers are able to notice what pieces of knowledge weren't effectively delivered and enhance them next time. Moreover, learning analytics helps educators identify blocks of students who may have academic or behavioral challenges. From that, teachers could develop a way to help students reach their full potential.

7. Gamification

If you are looking for a way to turn learning into a more fun and engaging process, gamification is the most suitable educational technology trend. There is no reason for students not to be actively involved in classroom games. Students can learn and practice while they are joining in on exciting game activities. Gaming elements help create a funny and positive learning environment for learners.

The adoption of gamification is most popular in the K-12 education sector. It's because kids are quickly engaged in gaming videos or getting higher scores in a game. However, it doesn't mean that higher education or corporate training doesn't need fun elements to improve the engagement level of learners.

8. Immersive Learning With VR And AR

The class learning experience has undergone a tremendous change since Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) came to education. The rise in demand for experiential learning pushes forward the development of learning with VR and AR.

Learning has become much more interactive than traditional methods. While VR provides a constructed reality, AR gives an enhanced view of a real image. Thus, they help explain complex concepts that plain images or even a lab's hands-on experiments couldn't show students. For example, VR is pretty helpful when you are attending a medical training course. In detail, VR creates a chance for students to experience real-world surgeries in a low-risk environment.

9. STEAM

STEAM-based programs are the new EdTech improvement over the STEM programs. This new trend of EdTech applies meaningful Science, Technology, Engineering, Art (the new element), and Math content to solve real-world problems through hands-on learning activities and creative design.

Concerning the advantages of STEAM, the first thing is that it helps students become increasingly curious about the world around them. Moreover, it also creates a safe environment for the learners to express and experience their ideas while thinking outside the box. The comfort of hands-on learning also helps students collaborate better with others.

10. Social Media In Learning

Have you ever thought that social media would be a part of the learning process? When every student, both young and mature, spends so much time on social media, why don't we turn it into a powerful tool to enhance learning?

It's how the idea to use social media for teaching came about. Many educational institutes have started using social media as a communication tool in which students can interact with others easily. Students can share study materials, discuss with others in a group, or easily comment on someone else's post. Even an animated learning video could go viral on social media. And TedEd is the typical example of this trend! This organization creates lessons worth sharing and posts them on YouTube where people can easily access, find, and share the educational videos with their friends.

Social media is here to stay and build a culture of collaboration and sharing, leading to an improved learning experience.

Conclusion

In the end, we know that there is a lot to digest when we talk about educational technology trends. However, keep in mind that technology has seeped into education and renewed its whole teaching and learning process. Especially eLearning, an educational tool that not only increases the accessibility and convenience of education but also changes the learning behaviors and learners' desires for learning.

But here is good news, you don't need to go alone on this EdTech ship because you have us who will join you in bringing forth the true value of learning, inspiring learners, and making education more relevant and empowering.

DISADVANTAGES

1.Education - Computer's along with their programs and the Internet have created educational opportunities not available to previous generations.

2.Lack of job security - Experts in a wide variety of fields believe that ICT has made job security a big issue, since technology keeps on changing nearly every day. This means that individuals need to be constantly studying or at least keeping up with changes in their profession, if they want to feel secure in their jobs to be secure.

3.Overriding Cultures - While ICT may have made the world a global village, it has also contributed to one culture consuming another weaker one. For example, it is now argued that teenagers in the US influence how most young teenagers all over the world now act, dress, and behave

4.Privacy - Though information technology may have made communication quicker, easier, and more convenient, it has also brought along privacy issues. From cell phone signal interceptions to e-mail hacking, people are now worried about their once private information becoming public knowledge.

5. Reliance on Technology - Professor Ian Robertson, a neuropsychology expert based at Trinity College Dublin who carried out the study, said: "People have more to remember these days, and they are relying on technology for their memory but the less you use of your memory, the poorer it becomes. . people don't bother learning to spell because they use spell-checker, or need a calculator do perform minor addition or subtraction.6. Reliability of Information - Anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection internet can start a blog or post something up on a website, so just because something's on the web doesn't mean it's reliable. A prime example of this is the open source encyclopedia, Wikipedia, although considered a good source of information it is not recognized by academic institutions as a trustworthy reference.

7.Computer viruses, worms, Trojans, malware, spam, phishing- any or all can cause chaos and disrupt our daily lives

Welcome To The Future Of Education: 9 Things That Will Change

As technology is rapidly changing the world around us, many people worry that technology will replace human intelligence. Some educators worry that there will be no students to teach anymore in the near future as technology might take over a lot of tasks and abilities that we have been teaching our students for decades. The thing is: Education will never disappear. It will just take up different forms. Here we list 9 things that will shape the future of education during the next 20 years.

1. Diverse time and place.
Students will have more opportunities to learn at different times in different places. eLearning tools facilitate opportunities for remote, self-paced learning. Classrooms will be flipped, which means the theoretical part is learned outside the classroom, whereas the practical part shall be taught face to face, interactively.

2. Personalized learning.
Students will learn with study tools that adapt to the capabilities of a student. This means above average students shall be challenged with harder tasks and questions when a certain level is achieved. Students who experience difficulties with a subject will get the opportunity to practice more until they reach the required level. Students will be positively reinforced during their individual learning processes. This can result in to positive learning experiences and will diminish the amount of students losing confidence about their academic abilities. Furthermore, teachers will be able to see clearly which students need help in which areas.

3. Free choice.
Though every subject that is taught aims for the same destination, the road leading towards that destination can vary per student. Similarly to the personalized learning experience, students will be able to modify their learning process with tools they feel are necessary for them. Students will learn with different devices, different programs and techniques based on their own preference. Blended learning, flipped classrooms and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) form important terminology within this change.

4. Project based.
As careers are adapting to the future freelance economy, students of today will adapt to project based learning and working. This means they have to learn how to apply their skills in shorter terms to a variety of situations. Students should already get acquainted with project based learning in high school. This is when organizational, collaborative, and time management skills can be taught as basics that every student can use in their further academic careers.

5. Field experience.
Because technology can facilitate more efficiency in certain domains, curricula will make room for skills that solely require human knowledge and face-to-face interaction. Thus, experience in 'the field' will be emphasized within courses. Schools will provide more opportunities for students to obtain real-world skills that are representative to their jobs. This means curricula will create more room for students to fulfill internships, mentoring projects and collaboration projects (e.g.).

6. Data interpretation.
Though mathematics is considered one of three literacies, it is without a doubt that the manual part of this literacy will become irrelevant in the near future. Computers will soon take care of every statistical analysis, and describe and analyse data and predict future trends. Therefore, the human interpretation of these data will become a much more important part of the future curricula. Applying the theoretical knowledge to numbers, and using human reasoning to infer logic and trends from these data will become a fundamental new aspect of this literacy.

7. Exams will change completely.
As courseware platforms will assess students capabilities at each step, measuring their competencies through Q&A might become irrelevant, or might not suffice. Many argue that exams are now designed in such a way, that students cram their materials, and forget the next day. Educators worry that exams might not validly measure what students should be capable of when they enter their first job. As the factual knowledge of a student can be measured during their learning process, the application of their knowledge is best tested when they work on projects in the field.

8. Student ownership.
Students will become more and more involved in forming their curricula. Maintaining a curriculum that is contemporary, up-to-date and useful is only realistic when professionals as well as 'youngsters' are involved. Critical input from students on the content and durability of their courses is a must for an all-embracing study program.

9. Mentoring will become more important.
In 20 years, students will incorporate so much independence in to their learning process, that mentoring will become fundamental to student success. Teachers will form a central point in the jungle of information that our students will be paving their way through. Though the future of education seems remote, the teacher and educational institution are vital to academic performance.

Making 10 - The teacher's role is to state how many pieces of fruit they would like in the bowl.

Get high-quality paper

The children can then drag the different pieces of fruit to the bowl and then drop it into the bowl until they reach the number asked. This can be adapted by choosing smaller numbers for children of less able ability, and for the children who are more able, the children can be asked to place higher numbers of fruit in the bowl. How many fruits? - The children count the fruit and then click on the correct number from the ones given. Praise and encouragement is given after.

What's the number? - This is similar to the second game in which the children are counting the fruit in the bowl but the children have to enter the correct number instead of it being automated The game is good as it provides plenty of support and also encouragement and praise when then the children give the correct answer.

Even when they don't, the response is not negative but encouraging for the child to try again. Other online resources include dictionaries to help children learn new words. There are also other websites such as Cbeebies.

Cbeebies accommodates children of all ages with links to websites, fact sheets, assessment examples and tasks to encourage the learning of new skills and to educate them in a number of areas in the curriculum. E-books and E-chapters are other resources that can be useful. These can provide detailed insights into areas of learning, which children can read and build on existing knowledge and skills.

One of the main theorists in education is Lev Vygotsky. He believes that "Social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition" (http://tip. psychology. org/vygotsky. html)

By using ICT; Hardware, software and online resources, social interaction can be achieved and development can be supported and built on. When using hardware such as the one mentioned above or a Roamer, social interaction is very visible. Children can work in teams in order to proceed or attain the correct answer. Social interaction also comes into play when using software such as Tizzy's First Tools. The children can work in pairs, therefore expanding on their knowledge and working together to attain the correct answer.

This works the same with online resources.

Conclusion

There are many different advantages and disadvantages of using ICT in education.

Advantages

If content Rich software is used it can aid grammatical knowledge and improve/illustrate spelling. The work itself is more legible and children can often enjoy working with ICT more than any other method of teaching. It can appeal to many learning styles and is easy to use as a structure or base for knowledge (especially software). Resources in ICT are believed to be good learning resources in the Social Constructivism Model of Learning.

"The key idea is that students actively construct their own knowledge" (http://www. mcgraw-hill. co. uk/openup/bookshops/tk/tk_dec06. pdf) By using content-free software, a child can actively build on the knowledge that the teacher would like them to. The teacher is able to input the information he/she thinks the child requires in order to gain the most he/she can from the activity. The child can then build on the knowledge to acquire new information.

Disadvantages of using ICT

For one there is sufficient lack of teacher input and the knowledge that can be passed over to pupils. Children can be distracted from the activity and worry too much about quantity instead of quality. They can get easily distracted. On the other hand the children can get fixated by colours, fonts, structures and may not benefit as much as they could from the activities through ICT. Only a limited amount of information can be transferred through ICT. Not all knowledge may be relevant and some useful knowledge may not be given to the child and could lead to recession.

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive 3D experience that combines a view of the real world with computer-generated elements.

AR is different from VR in that VR is a completely self-contained computer environment while AR layers computer elements among real objects in real time.

Here's an introduction to AR and some common applications for the technology.

Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories.

Augmented reality, commonly called AR, is an interactive 3D experience that combines a view of the real world with computer-generated elements in real time.

What you need to know about augmented reality, or AR

Augmented reality can figure in a number of ways, such as through AR goggles that combine a view of the immediate surroundings with computer graphics, or on a smartphone display that does the same thing using the phone's camera to see and manipulate the world in front of the viewer.

How augmented reality differs from VR

They may seem like similar technologies - and certainly have similar abbreviations - but are fundamentally different. Virtual reality ( VR) creates a completely synthetic virtual world within a headset. As the user, you are placed inside a 3D environment and can then move around and interact with completely computer-generated elements.

AR, on the other hand, keeps you grounded in the real world, and it overlays virtual elements as a visual layer within that environment. Immersive AR systems may combine the computer elements with real-world elements with convincing depth, perspective, and other rendering characteristics, and the AR system will understand the real environment well enough to be able to position relevant synthetic elements "in front of" and "behind" real objects and otherwise be able to interact with the real world in a meaningful way.

Applications for AR

AR's value is in the way it can interpret, manipulate, and enhance the view of the real world in real time. For example, here are some ways in which AR can be used and is actively being used:

Retail: Perhaps the most important application of AR for most users will be in retail applications, notably "try before you buy." With more people shopping from home and less emphasis on public retail spaces, AR will allow consumers to see how products will look in their own homes before purchasing them. This can take the guesswork out of the buying process. There are already a number of apps, such as Wayfair, Houzz, and Ikea which let you place furniture and other products in your own real-world environments.

Mapping and navigation: The business directory app Yelp was an early adopter of AR with its now-discontinued Monocle feature. Monocle overlayed information about local businesses when viewing the immediate surrounding on your phone's display. Callouts showed where nearby restaurants were located along with basic information such as how far away they were. This is a variation of the head-up display (HUD) - Mercedes-Benz, for example, is introducing a car that overlays navigation information on the windshield, helping you drive without looking away from the road.

Education: AR is finding its way into curriculum to enhance traditional learning methods. For example, textbooks can be marked with codes that, when scanned by a smartphone, can display additional content or 3D visualizations.

Maintenance and industry: AR has great potential in the coming years to significantly reduce reliance on physical technical manuals and improve productivity at the same time by overlaying relevant information in a worker's field of view while performing maintenance or other tasks. Sufficiently advanced AR systems can not only understand context to show the right information, but help identify components and workflows using highlights and overlays. BMW, for example, is doing exactly that with a pilot program using AR on the assembly line.

Entertainment and social media: AR has a lot of potential for entertainment as well. Magic Leap, for example, is an AR development company that has reportedly spent more than $2.6 billion developing AR goggles and an AR technology platform, yet continues to be able to attract additional investments without having a commercial product. On a more accessible platform - smartphones - TikTok has recently introduced branded AR effects that users can add to their videos. This is no doubt just the beginning of a race to create ever-more compelling AR experiences that blur the line between real and virtual.

Education is the base for a thriving society, and the transfer of knowledge has been a top priority for civilizations since the very beginning. People are constantly looking for ways to make knowledge transfer more easily, more quickly, and more effectively.

In the era of digital devices, we have an opportunity to enable better learning with technology. Virtual Reality (VR) seems to be the natural next step for the evolution of education.

In this article, I'll show how virtual reality can transform the way educational content is delivered.

How we learn today

Before diving into the details of how VR in education will help improve the learning process, it's important to understand why we need to improve the quality of education in the first place. Historically, most technologies designed to aid learning have been aimed at enabling access to information - facts and observations about the world. Before computers, we had a powerful tool that helped us retain facts: books.

In the era of digital technologies, books are being turned into eBooks. Modern search engines make fact-finding really easy - with just a few clicks you can discover answers to many questions.

While knowledge has become more easily available for more people, the current approach to education has two significant problems:

It's based on the same old format - fact retention. Teaching methods are focused on providing facts; however, having access to and consuming a lot of information isn't learning. Being informed isn't the same as being educated.

A lot of people have difficulties comprehending information. Too much information received in a short period of time can easily overwhelm students. As a result, they become bored, disengaged, and usually not sure why they are learning about a topic in the first place.

What makes VR in education beneficial?

Virtual reality can be used to enhance student learning and engagement. VR education can transform the way educational content is delivered; it works on the premise of creating a virtual world - real or imagined - and allows users not only see it but also interact with it. Being immersed in what you're learning motivates you to fully understand it. It'll require less cognitive load to process the information.

Here are just a few properties that makes virtual reality in education so powerful.

Better sense of place

When students read about something, they often want to experience it. With VR, they aren't limited to word descriptions or book illustrations; they can explore the topic and see how things are put together.

Thanks to the feeling of presence VR provides, students can learn about a subject by living it. It's easy to forget that VR experiences aren't real - a body actually believes it's in a new place. This feeling engages the mind in a way that is remarkable.

Scale learning experiences

Technologies such as science labs are amazing - they allow students to understand how things work based on practical experience.

A relatively small VR device can even act as a whole science lab.

But such technologies are expensive and almost impossible to scale. They are also limited in the number of things they can do.

Learn by doing

It's a well-known fact that people learn best by doing; however, if you inspect modern education, you'll see how little learning actually happens by doing. Students are focused on reading instructions rather than using them in practice.

VR in education provides an experience anchor to the instruction. With VR education, learners are inspired to discover for themselves. Students have an opportunity to learn by doing rather than passively reading.

Emotional reaction

Visceral reactions to what we are experiencing are fundamental to forming memories. VR in education makes it easy to engage students the whole time, making experiences memorable.

Develop creativity

Having virtual reality in education is useful not only for content consumption, but it's also great for content creation. By giving students powerful tools such as Tilt Brush, you help them boost their creativity.

Visual learning

A lot of people are visual learners - VR is really helpful for this group of learners. Instead of reading about things, students actually see the things they're learning about. Being able to visualize complex functions or mechanisms makes them easier to comprehend.

Users are ready to embrace new technology

The first idea that pops into anyone's mind when they think about VR technology is an entertainment experience. Many designers see VR as an extension of the gaming industry. It's true that VR has historically been dedicated to gaming, but things are changing. According to a recent survey conducted by Greenlight VR, desire for education outweighs desire for gaming content - 63.9 percent vs. 61 percent.

Categories of VR educational experiences

Where can we apply virtual reality in education? The answer is almost everywhere. VR creates an infinite set of possibilities that people can experience. Here are few types of experiences you can create with VR.

Virtual fields trips

VR technology can be used to engage students in topics related to geography, history, or literature by offering a deeply immersive senses of place and time. Simply imagine geography lessons where you can visit any place on the globe - this type of experience is much more enriching than just reading about it.

With VR, they aren't limited to word descriptions or book illustrations; they can explore the topic and see how things are put together.

Google Expeditions is one good example of an app designed to provide such an experience. Expedition is a library of field trips available for regular smartphone users. Each trip is comprised of VR panoramas, and trips vary from the Great Wall of China to Mars. People all over the world can visit places that are virtually impossible to visit in person.

Google piloted this app in hundreds of schools all over the world. The project was extremely successful, with Google taking more than 1 million students in 11 countries on expeditions.

Of course, virtual reality will never replace real field trips and travels, nor should it. But, VR enables experiences to happen that would be otherwise impossible.

High tech training

VR is a good solution for highly technical training fields like the military or the medical industry. For example, the most significant challenge for medical students learning anatomy is understanding the body in three dimensions and how different systems fit together. VR education can help overcome this problem.

One good example is the VR system used by Mendel Grammar School in Opava City, Czech Republic, which helps students in biology classes learn about the anatomy of the eye. The team working on this project employed a Leap Motion controller and specially-adapted Oculus Rift headsets to provide an innovative way of learning anatomy.

Internships

Getting exposure to different careers is an essential part of the learning process. From early childhood, we dream about what we want to be when we grow up, and those dreams are usually inspired by the professionals in our lives. Often, we get this understanding through internships.

I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.
Albert Einstein

Another benefit of having virtual reality in education is its ability to help broaden students' exposure to careers. It improves people's ability to imagine themselves in others' shoes. Career expeditions show what it's like to work in a field - students can explore a day in someone's career, see what person is studying, and understand what a person likes - or doesn't like - about their job. As a result, the experience becomes familiar to students.

Group learning

Some of the most important knowledge we gain doesn't come from what we hear from lecturers, but rather from collegiality and debate. VR education gives the opportunity to make learning experiences social by allowing students to communicate with each other. Using avatars and mapped facial expressions, people can come together to discuss, synthesize, and learn from one another.

Distance learning

VR allows us to bridge the gap between educators and learners. With VR, distance learning tools can put educators and students together in the same room with digital representations of themselves - teachers can teleport into the VR world and guide students through their experiences.

Design challenges for VR education experiences

Clearly, the future of virtual reality in education is very exciting and full of potential. We are just at the dawn of this powerful technology and designing for VR is full of challenges that we should be ready to overcome.

5 key properties of good VR learning experiences

VR edu apps should have the following properties:

1. Immersive. Designers should strive to create the feeling that users are in an experience. For example, if you develop a history app, make history come alive for students.

2. Easy to use. Eliminate the need to have special skills to interact with a VR 3D design app.

3. Meaningful. Meaning is really important for students. You can't create a good VR learning experience without a good story. That's why it so important to advance the art of storytelling. Stories quite simply provide the best vehicle for delivering messages that are not only heard and understood, but that also inspire and elicit action.

4. Adaptable. As Albert Einstein once said, "I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn." VR experiences should allow students to explore at their own pace. The app should provide complete control over the level of difficulty. Designers should establish how students learn and then use this knowledge to design VR products that allow effective learning.

5. Measurable. Each educational tool should provide measured impact. Teachers should be able to track the metrics of education so they can measure the resulting knowledge of a subject. When designing experiences for VR education, it's essential to choose appropriate metrics and make it clear what criterium will be used to measure success and failure.

Creating a new role for teachers with VR education

The transition from analog teaching practices to digital ones is going to change what teaching looks like. The role of a teacher will change from content delivery to content facilitation. Teachers will be focused on creating conditions for exploring, rather than providing ready-made knowledge.

Our changing understanding of immersive experiences

It's clear we're in the early stages of VR - and it's going to keep changing. However, technology will continue to push boundaries of how immersive VR can become. We're even going to see advancements in eye tracking and body tracking in coming years. What we consider an immersive experience today will be considered table stakes in the not-too-distant future.

Making VR accessible

VR has a high price point that is a significant barrier for many users. If we analyze the success of Google Expeditions, it's clear that Google was able to reach this many students because the hardware was really accessible. To make VR education accessible to a majority of users, it's important to focus on creating VR experiences for devices users already have and repurpose them into powerful tools for education. A phone we have in our pockets and $20-100 headset devices - such as Google Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR - should be enough to give students good VR experiences.

Open New Horizons with VR Education

Virtual reality in education is on the horizon, and without a doubt, it'll change the world as we know it. Twenty-first century classrooms will be technologically advanced places of learning, with VR technology significantly increasing students' engagement and learning. VR experiences will inspire a whole new generation of young and bright students, ready to innovate and change the world.

At the same time, the next big thing in education no longer relies on technology, but rather on a teacher's decision to push forward and adopt these technologies inside the classroom. The global goal should be to make knowledge available, accessible, and affordable for everyone on the planet. Learn more about the design of other Emerging Technologies here.

Hello my name is Vinh.

And today we will learn together about the advantages and disadvantages of ICT in education. So starting with the technology in our daily lives, it's seen everywhere from home to work, or while we shop and especially at school. It has improved our lives in many ways from the ability to communicate with anyone, at any time. So it's the key to helping teachers in their ability to find anything they need or just to know on the Internet.

Nowadays, technology is used a lot in the classroom, so how has it been used? By offering virtual lectures through software such as PowerPoint, students can see it everywhere.

Advantages

As for homework in online classes, games and videos are great, as students don't even know if they've actually learned a lot of knowledge when they're playing games or watching videos. If while doing homework, with confusing assignments, students can ask the teacher right during online lessons, which will help students better understand the content of the lesson. Therefore, the positive aspects of the use of technology in teaching help teachers be better prepared, receive more participation and cooperation of students, improve independent working skills as well as teamwork of students. Test scores and skills also get better.

So how does the use of technology work so well? That's because in lessons using fun technology, images, and videos modeled after animation, students are interested in participating in computer games, and keeping a positive attitude during their studies, which is also the best way to transmit knowledge to each student.

Or in Flipping Classroom classes, teachers will prepare virtual lectures and project them to the whole class, students will learn about the content of the lesson, participate in group discussions ....

In addition to the above-mentioned advantages, the use of ICT for education also has disadvantages. Here's a short fun video of an effective online study:

It's so funny. 😊)

Disadvantages

This was followed by the survey entitled " The Disadvantages of the Use of ICT in Education ? ". As you can see, such issues are:

·       The acsdemic staff should spend more time to prepare and teaching materials

·       It is more expensive than the traditional education

·       Redueces the desire of students to study

·       Redueces communication with students who have     difficulty in using ICT

·       It is necessary to maintain and manage the systems

·       The efects of teaching are against the traditional methods

·       Other

·       Don’t know

In addition to the above issues, we can dive deeper into a number of aspects:

Privacy - Though information technology may have made communication quicker, easier, and more convenient, it has also brought along privacy issues. From cell phone signal interceptions to e-mail hacking, people are now worried about their once private information becoming public knowledge.

Reliance on Technology – Studies show that: “People have more to remember these days, and they are relying on technology for their memory but the less you use of your memory, the poorer it becomes. . people don’t bother learning to spell because they use spell-checker, or need a calculator do perform minor addition or subtraction.

Reliability of Information – Anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection internet can start a blog or post something up on a website, so just because something’s on the web doesn't mean it’s reliable. A prime example of this is  the open source  encyclopedia, Wikipedia, although considered a good source of information it is not recognized by academic institutions  as a trustworthy reference.

And other issues such as: Lack of experience of teachers, computer viruses, maintenance fee.

What is Project Based Learning ?

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects.

In Project Based Learning, teachers make learning come alive for students.

Students work on a project over an extended period of time – from a week up to a semester – that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product or presentation for a real audience.

As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. Project Based Learning unleashes a contagious, creative energy among students and teachers.

How does PBL differ from “doing a project”?

PBL is becoming widely used in schools and other educational settings, with different varieties being practiced. However, there are key characteristics that differentiate "doing a project" from engaging in rigorous Project Based Learning.

We find it helpful to distinguish a "dessert project" -  a short, intellectually-light project served up after the teacher covers the content of a unit in the usual way - from a "main course" project, in which the project is the unit. In Project Based Learning, the project is the vehicle for teaching the important knowledge and skills student need to learn. The project contains and frames curriculum and instruction.

In contrast to dessert projects, PBL requires critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and various forms of communication. To answer a driving question and create high-quality work, students need to do much more than remember information. They need to use higher-order thinking skills and learn to work as a team.

What is VR ?

Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment that users can join in .

What is AR ?

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive 3D experience that combines a view of the real world with computer-generated elements in real time.

How VR and AR improve the quality of education ?

AR is finding its way into curriculum to enhance traditional learning methods. For example, textbooks can be marked with codes that, when scanned by a smartphone, can display additional content or 3D visualizations.

Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world. The only limits to near-real VR experiences are the availability of content and cheap computing power.

What is experiential learning?

Learning by doing. This is the basis for the experiential learning theory. Experiential learning focuses on the idea that the best ways to learn things is by actually having experiences. Those experiences then stick out in your mind and help you retain information and remember facts.

For teachers, creating opportunities for students to have experiences based on the things they are learning about is key. Teachers can help create environments where students can learn and have experiences at the same time.

Experiential learning examples

There are many ways that experiential learning is used every day. Some examples include:

Going to the zoo to learn about animals through observation, instead of reading about them.

Growing a garden to learn about photosynthesis instead of watching a movie about it.

Hoping on a bicycle to try and learn to ride, instead of listening to your parent explain the concept

Have internship instead of studying at school

Benefits of experiential learning.

There are many benefits of experiential learning for teachers and students, including:

Opportunity to immediately apply knowledge. Experiential learning can allow students to immediately apply things they are learning to real-world experiences. This helps them retain the information better.

Promotion of teamwork. Experiential learning often involves working in a team, so learning in this setting allows students to practice teamwork.

Improved motivation. Students are more motivated and excited about learning in experiential settings. Experiments are exciting and fun for students, and they will be passionate about learning.

Opportunity for reflection. Students using the experiential model are able to spend time reflecting about what they are experiencing and learning. This is valuable as they are able to better retain information when they can think about what’s happening to them.

Real world practice. Students can greatly benefit from learning that helps them prepare for the real world. Experiential learning is focused on using real situations to help students learn, so they are then better prepared for their future.

Why Choose Online School?

Online schooling, also known as virtual schooling, can be a great solution for students for whom traditional brick-and-mortar schools are not a good fit. It is a wonderful alternative to homeschool that grants students and their parents access to certified teachers, professionally developed online school curriculum and lessons, and excellent learning materials, all tuition-free and offered for grades K–12 in most states. Students have opportunities to meet with teachers and staff in the safe learning environment of the online classroom for guidance, instruction, and help when needed.

Who Chooses Online Public School?

Online schooling is a great fit for many families, including:

parents and students who like the flexible scheduling that online school offers

previously homeschooled students

students who value a personalized education

students for whom traditional schools are not a good fit

advanced learners or those seeking more challenging courses for college preparation

military families who relocate often

career-focused students

students struggling to overcome learning difficulties or health issues

Benefits of Online Schooling from Home

Some parents are hesitant to choose online school because it is unfamiliar to them, but once enrolled, they discover how well it can work for their children.
