Technology is Transforming Learning within the Classrooms

Introduction:

Technology has impacted the education industry profoundly. Institutes are adopting technology-driven teaching methods for establishing interactive and engaging learning culture. Providing quick access to information and adopting a collaborative approach, bringing students, parents, and teachers on the same platform, technology is enhancing overall learning & teaching experience.

A revolution has been introduced for both Teaching and learning. Teachers are using various tech-driven teaching methods to explain, interact, assign work, and check progress of students. While on the other hand, students are embracing technology for effective research and a better understanding of subjects. Use of tablets and eBooks in place of textbooks is resulting in improved students’ participation. The video lectures and 3D models help students visualize a concept in a better way. There are many prevalent technologies in the education industry, but not every technology should be incorporated by institutes or universities to get on the bandwagon of digital learning.

Every technology has a unique impact and you’ve gotta be wise to choose the best suitable one for your school or institute:

Smart boards**:**

Incorporating Smartboards in the classrooms helps in simplifying the learning process for students. The integration of a wide range of media like maps, graphs, videos, and images make it a useful tool for classrooms. The interactive nature of smart boards enable learners to share and participate in the instructional process. Teachers can use the variety of online resources to supplement their usual teaching method.

Augmented reality:

Augmented reality apps have transformed text-based classroom teaching into digital interactive content. Augmented Reality has added a different level of interaction for students by bringing their learning to life. Augmented flash cards are the best example, just point your device at the flash card and a 3D image of it will pop up on the screen.

Virtual reality:

Virtual reality is providing a three-dimensional environment for students. Our mind remembers more what we see than what we hear that is why Virtual Reality can be a useful tool for encouraging greater student engagement. Virtual reality is being highly used by medical students as surgery simulations. The students can practice new skills on the virtual patients available on the screen.

Artificial intelligence:

Artificial intelligence is changing how students learn, who taught them and where they can acquire basic skills. The Artificial intelligence software helps students learn at their own pace, ask the same doubt many times and providing the feedback on their work. All you have to do is integrate the software for activities like homework, tests, and quizzes and it will identify the concepts that are difficult for the students to grasp, and then guide them as a tutor.
