Technology in Practice: Key trends and emerging technologies that can be used in teaching and learning.
Emerging Technologies that can be used in teaching and learning in the 21st Century.
Cloud Computing:
This technological resource is a virtual learning aid, which allows communication between the student and teacher. This application creates opportunities for teachers to share documents and other digital activities with students via the Cloud tool. The Cloud computing tool allows students to submit and address assignments for grading to their teachers. Additionally the cloud also is able to store applications, documents and also music and photos. This resource is accessible from a computer, mobile phone, ipad or tablet, each device has the ability to connect with the Cloud tool.
Mobile Device Technology:
Throughout schools more and more technology-based lessons are being established using application technology on phones. In high schools especially, the potential to learn via electronic devices is remarkable as they are becoming more affordable with the creation of educational apps that can be used at any stage of the lesson. Mobile technology is becoming more accepted by the use of the teachers in order to teach the class and additionally used by the students to facilitate their own learning. Technologies that can be used for learning and teaching, include: interactive white boards, ipads and laptops. There are a variety of digital technological devices that can be used for learning and also teaching.
MOOCS (Massively Open Online Courses)
MOOCS are classes that are online and available to the public over the internet regardless of location. It allows individuals to access and acquire new skills and abilities at no cost. MOOCS is demonstrated as a teaching tool that is based on the idea of lectures through the communication of the technological web. The type of learning that is presented over the web is continually beginning to grow and open up to universities and other educational facilities.
Learning Analysis
This program helps interpret educational data and the key trends to enhance teaching strategies. This allows teachers to adapt courses to their students so that they may achieve their best ability. This learning application identifies with “data from online student interactions” in order for the teachers to improve the students learning experience in the classroom.
Key Trends
The world is gradually changing and growing into a technologically advanced system. There are multiple different emerging technologies used in teaching and learning, which highlight key trends, both through ICT and learning styles.
Some of the key trends of 2013 virtual components and flipped classrooms include:
· “43% of district administrators are now offering a variety of online courses to meet diverse student needs.” (Evans.J, 2014)
· “60% of flipped learning, teachers believe online learning motivates students more.” (Evans.J, 2014)
· “89% of parents want their child in a class where mobile devices are used.” (Evans.J, 2014)
· There are multiple individuals that value online tools for learning and teaching educational opportunities.
· Virtual, blended, and flipped learning teachers are using digital content with student in order to further engage them in their understanding.
· Parents who have tutorials in online classes for work expect their children to therefore have access to similar learning opportunities.
· To students online learning is more personal, and helps to engage them for a greater amount of time, than a regular teacher would just talking at them.
Teachers, parents and students have to assess “what they want to learn and what they are willing to open their minds to.”(Honeycutt.K, 2013) If teachers, or parents don’t model learning then students won’t want to learn. Students need “to learn to love to learn.” (Honeycutt.K, 2013)
