How Technology Drives Smartness in Education
Technology nowadays has been creating a digital version of almost everything in our
lives, and as a matter of fact, the Education is not standing out of this tornado.
Despite some proved arguments that technology or mobile things lay some negative
impacts on education, e.g they steer our attention away from lessons by entertaining
apps or games … it has kicked started a revolution which transformed the way we
absorb knowledge into much smarter one.
Here are some reasons why digitalized education is gaining increasing favor over
traditional ways of learning.
Diversify Learning Styles
In this era, reading a textbook seems to be much a passive and tedious way of
learning for almost every students, it triggers no interest and excitement just by
looking at those dumb words. However, with mobile learning, chemical reactions,
physics phenomenon, historical events…can now be vividly illustrated via
infographics, video displays, podcast, graphic models; therefore make them much
more absorbing. Because visual aid is one of the best way to make lessons enjoyable, it
can captures the students’ interest and therefore make them stick to what is
delivered. With loads of apps and softwares customized for various purposes of
education, technology does not only provides teachers with advanced tools for
efficient knowledge transferring, but also boost students’ comprehension and
creativity.
Inspire Smart Communication
For traditional classrooms, especially in universities, colleges and other types of
education institution, the number of students may reach a few hundreds. With such a
large scale of audience, it is hard to deliver every piece of knowledge to the students
sitting at the back of the lecture hall. The problem can now be solved with technology,
there are many devices and learning apps available that offers one-to-one assistance,
so that not only the students can fully perceive the knowledge, but the lessons can also
be customized to fit each student’s level and learning style. Another prime example of
communication in classroom made easier with technology is that, many student
communities nowadays capitalize the Facebook group so that members who miss the
lessons can catch up with the class by the materials shared among the group. Dropbox
also become one of the must-have tools for teachers to share their files, documents
and other references.
Boost Interactive Learning
As right as it might seem, not every member in the class can be willing to speak up
their ideas. Similarly, some students with reserved personality might be hesitant to
become part of the team when it comes to group work. Those barriers will be
eliminated by a classroom with digital platform, which released a new way of
participation, therefore stimules the collaboration among the class members. Added
to the highly-interactive way of learning, the students’ enjoyment and proactiveness
are also fostered, making them take more responsibility over their lessons. The
teacher’s burden is now lessened, they become a guide whose job is to join the
discussion instead of one-way knowledge chalk talking.
Spur Global and Distance Learning
The class setting - time and space becomes more flexible and adaptive with online
courses. Technology helps save a lot of time, effort and travelling expenses moving
from one place to another to join a class. People with restricted personal schedule will
be able to sit in a training anytime as long as there is a teacher available and Internet
connection. Global learning, which might be of various benefits for Language or
History classes, is also facilitated by digital network. It has become evident that, with
the posperity of technology, anyone now can be the beneficiary of education.
