Impact of technology in education

Technology has rapidly changed every facet of our society, including the education industry. Today students grow up with internet connected devices at home and in the classroom, which changes the way they learn. Future education technology will transform learning by giving teachers and students a variety of new tools to work with.

Tablets in Classrooms

Tablets have become the mobile device that students use most often, and for good reason — they’re small and portable enough for students to use individually, big enough for multiple students to share, and versatile enough to serve as a video player, word processor, or educational gaming device. According to a 2015 Pearson Education study of more than 2,000 students in fourth through 12th grades, 78% of elementary school students utilized tablets in their schoolwork in 2014. South Africa is the top most country which uses tabets in schools.

Assistive Technology

For students with disabilities, new technologies mean empowerment, putting them on a more equal footing with their classmates than ever before. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), just under 7 million students in the U.S. — or about 13% of total public school enrollment — receive special education services. A range of assistive technology devices are available for special education students and students with disabilities to provide the educational support they need.

Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality and Voice Platforms

Education trends will ride the wave of increased internet capabilities and higher network bandwidth, bringing advanced technology into schools with greater ease. Two of the major areas of next-wave technology are augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR). Augmented reality devices enhance real-world materials, such as making a map jump off a page, while virtual reality products create an immersive digital world in which students interact in virtual 3D worlds that enhance learning experiences.
