Technology To Alter The Face Of Education
BANGALORE: Education is an important part of life and to have the integration of technology into it, would just be an added plus, with education taking place slowly over the years. Schools used to be so monotonous a while back but today there is more vibrancy and interest to learn. Technology is making education not just available but also fun, interesting and worthwhile.
Mobile technology has changed the way education is delivered. It is no longer just the boring classroom setup but has moved beyond the four walls of a building. Education is also being made available to everyone slowly through mobile technology, so, here are five ways mobile technology is transforming education with inputs from, Tech Radar.
A Change In Perception: Tablets are the trend at the moment. When you look at mobile technology, it is more feasible than stationary computers thus changing the way we perceive things. Tablets add that interest and ease to education that desktops cannot match. With a tablet, education is available on the go but with desktop learning, it only becomes another form of classroom education. This is one huge change that tablets or mobile technology has brought to education.
The Gaming Factor: When you sit in a classroom to learn, there is no way you can enjoy learning because it’s just listening to a monotonous dialogue of a teacher. If the teacher has a difficulty in keeping you entertained then you are in for a bad day. But through technology, educators have incorporated a little gaming factor that allows you to engage with the course on a fun level.
It also grabs your attention because it is no longer a monotonous dialogue but a creative way of learning through playing games, taking quizzes or build blocks. The kind of educational games has changed over the years but nonetheless mobile technology is shaping the attention span of students through activities.
