Future trend of IT in Education




Education plays one of the most important roles in today society.  The development of technology changes our daily life and social activities in the good or bad manner. The changes of technology bring both advantage and disadvantage for the human kind and it is controversial topic to be debate. However, personally I accept that the growing up of technology can change the standard of livelihood in the positive manners. As I am a student, I am familiar with the information technology development in the educational field and we, student expect more and more development of technology for the education field which can help us to bring advance level of academic. The Internet is doubling in size every year, and the web is doubling in size every 90 days. Students need technological fluency so that they can sit down at a computer and use it as easily as they can pick up and read a book in their native language. With information coming on line so quickly, students will no longer need to memorize, but will look up information quickly and easily. Besides, tests and other assessments will be changed to a system which is not needed to come to the exam hall and sit the exam. The assessment will be done by a kind of software or system.
There are 4 main trends people believe to be changes in the future education.
1. Use SMS Marketing to Connect Education with Life
The students will be able to connect with their lecturers and among themselves by using the using the networking and communication channels they use. Greater communication will enable the students to be more than a teacher associated with merely the classroom. Many schools will use SMS marketing to update students on deadlines, coursework and schedule changes. This communication technology is effective when notifying hundreds or even thousands of students of emergency closures and can keep staff and students alike informed about important events.
2. Social Media Enables Students to Educate Communities
Students use Social Media to educate politicians and the public in general about problems that need to be solved. Students can make their own blog which can share the knowledge with other people, they will be more creativity than ever. Students will be able to make changes by their won with the help of social media and students will be able to go further education improvements without adult supervision or guidance.
3. Universities Offer Free Non Credit On-Line Courses
Student will be allowed to attend more online classes than regular class which can save much of their time and energy. They can restfully sit in their place and learn their particular course and explore additional educational requirements. Moreover, there are some of the website which offer the students to attend their classes with free of charges so that they can learn something new without paying the money.
4.  3-D Printing Hits the Road
Low Cost 3-D Printers means more accessibility including in the classroom. 3-D printers have been used to create paper covered by solar cells, print buildings from dust and to create a human vein. Students of all ages can imagine, design and create with a 3-D printer.
