The main goal of educational technology is to improve not only the learning process but also the efficiency of the education system.

Examples of modern educational technologies

In the following lines, we will look at 10 of the latest educational technologies and how they can be used in schools and learning institutions.

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is one of the most advanced educational technologies that can take the individuality of the learning process to a new level. It is suitable for use in both kindergartens and high schools.

Virtual reality

Education is one of the sectors where virtual reality can be used. Its main advantage is that it allows large groups of students to interact with each other in a three-dimensional environment.

Mobile learning

Most people, including students, access the internet primarily from their mobile phones. Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of mobile app development companies have started making products that can be used in the education sector. Their main aim is to increase student and teacher engagement.

Tablets and laptops

More and more Western educational institutions are replacing traditional educational methods with their more modern and up-to-date versions - for example - tablets and laptops. They are a useful tool both inside and outside the classroom, as they allow the learning process to move from the school building to the home.

Distance learning platforms

Distance learning platforms are an educational technology that can be used to deliver, track and manage the learning process. For example, with them you can see how many of your students have read the lesson, whether they have handed in their homework on time, what their progress is. In addition, you can send them messages, grade their tests, check their activity and initiate discussions. Kids, on the other hand, get to submit their homework easily and from anywhere, ask questions, get quick feedback, and more.

Virtual classroom

Among the most used and useful educational technologies are virtual classrooms. With this kind of software, you can easily and affordably conduct a real lesson without you or your students having to be present in a room. To use a virtual classroom, you need a microphone, a headset, and optionally, a webcam. You can show a pre-prepared presentation, ask your students questions, and even record the lesson and reuse it. Students, in turn, can raise their hand, ask and answer questions, use the built-in chat functionality, and more.

Social networks

Social networking plays a key role in the education sector. Many Western schools and universities use their own social networks to build a sense of community among their students and help create a collaborative environment.

Interactive whiteboards

Interactive whiteboards allow students to participate in the teaching process. They enable them to understand the subject better by writing, teaching or drawing. Each student can participate in the discussion through a tablet or notebook. Interactive whiteboards make learning easier and more fun.

Online lessons

There are numerous sites that offer free and paid online tutorials. Quite a few of them are quite good and even offer a certificate or diploma. These websites have made education more accessible and open. Why shouldn't you take advantage too?

Video

Among the educational technologies that are gaining popularity, we can't help but mention videos. They are used by a lot of teachers, and students themselves often resort to them to help with their homework. On YouTube, you can find useful information to send to your students and help them prepare for the next lesson, or watch the video together in class and comment on it afterwards.
