Learning has been redefined in the era of the 21st century. From distant past students were made to sit in the shade being taught the basics and having them practice it in their homes. A decade or century later, we have students who were taught that they can only learn within the four walls of the classroom.
Today I modern educational systems, learning has been brought to a new height and that is students can now learn from the outside and the job of the teacher is not only to teach but to facilitate the learning process. Here are modern tools and technology used in education today to aid the student in their learning development outside of the classroom.
Cloud based Platforms
One of the best tools to have been used in the classrooms are also pretty much useful tools in the realm of business and that is the cloud-based platforms. These platforms are very useful since individuals can share real-time data and files to their team and that their team members can easily retrieve the file for their own use either to alter it or verify it.
In the educational system, cloud platforms such as google drive are used by teachers and students so that that student can submit and share data online without the hassle of having to replicate the same data. Through these students can easily share a report presentation or a file for submission.
Conference Tools
In the height of the pandemic online conference tools and platforms has risen to the need of the people to communicate, and now in educational institutions, these platforms are now used to hold classes and initiate consultation with the stakeholders.
Not only that, virtual telepresence robot are now being used as tools to bring back the idea of hybrid learning in classrooms. Now students can still have online classes but they can now use these robots in place of their physical presence. This way students can still learn and can still feel the essence of face-to-face classes even when they are holding online-based classes.
Writing Tools
Today there are so many writing tools that are made available over the internet. There are more writing tools available today than the past decade, this is also due to the factors that online-based education and home-based work are now on the rise and that both fields usually need a versatile and multifunctional tool to write reports and data to be submitted or stored. With the writing tools become more advanced, people have also become more adept in writing. People have also been blogging more frequently today and thus the need for writing tools, some of which are even voice command writing tools.
All of these tools and technological advancements may or may not have been developed for the sole purpose of using it in educational fields, but with the need and the utility they can provide, we can see this technology being used in schools which offers quality output not just for the students but also for the teachers.
