Remember when you were a kid without technology?

When you were kids, you should have uploaded notes in class? We tore off a piece of white paper and wrote a whisper on the white paper, and after folding it into a small paper regiment, which wrote the name of the hand, and stabbed at the same table with his elbow, and he kicked the chair in the front table and handed it over from under the table ... Through the small hands of each classmate, the dialogue is like this spread to the students far away, and content from last night's TV show to play together after school.

In today's society, science and technology play an increasingly important role in education, life into the more mobile devices , become a common tool, into the classroom. I doubt the future children will pass the note. Perhaps they will quickly learn to "flip the Wall", get rid of the teacher's monitoring, direct private chat. Well, cheating in future exams must be a challenge to IQ.

ReadWrite, Sarah Rotman, has learned a lot about K-12 and the development of higher education in the Forrester survey. Open Web courses such as Coursera and Udacity allow students worldwide access to quality courses. such as Inkling, Kno and CourseSmart make electronic textbooks more convenient and lively. Khan Academy and Tenmarks enable people to learn according to their own rhythms.

Sarah believes that technological innovation is changing the nature of education, and many of these changes are positive because it expands the way global education expands audiences, and everyone can learn at their own pace and save money.

Just as students get more and more time to touch the screen, they also cause problems with their eyesight, causing sleep disorders and various wrong poses that cause spinal problems. For younger children, it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual world and the real world, and even to be at risk.

If "Media is the message," will the enhancement of "screen education" convey the wrong message to students that getting content and communicating through the screen is more valuable than spending time with people and things in the real world? Now, students at the K-12 stage spend 7 hours a day at a physical school, while students at the university campus get together and spend time together. This kind of entity education may gradually disappear, but it has the advantage that the screen cannot replace, it is worth the virtual education to draw lessons from.

Students in the classroom to discuss and answer questions, they learn to listen, learn to use words to express, learn how to build relationships with peers, teachers. On the Internet, it's great that students answer questions in the MOOC forum, but it's not all about education. Flipping the classroom (the flipped classroom) is a way of balancing virtual and realistic education. Students study the course knowledge through the Internet after class, while the classroom time is used for group discussion.

have been to work, we know the long-term sitting in front of the computer to bring the pain of the body. So how can education make use of technology and equipment and adjust it rationally? Wearable equipment may play an important role at the student's level of activity. It can be applied to cross disciplines, such as wearable tracking device can be integrated physical education and math classes, students in sports, with their own exercise data to do math problems, GPS positioning is a good child learning physics helper, heart rate test is a vivid biology class.

Practical ability is also the emphasis of entity education, how is this reflected in the technology equipment? Try 3Doodler Doodle pen, children can be imagined things into three-dimensional. Only know the principle is not enough, parents should also take action, with children to complete the network of scientific experiments taught. In addition, do not light typing, more action pen, the word remember more familiar oh.

However, the flip classroom also caused some objections, such as this led to students after class too much homework, not enough spare time. On the way to education in the future, I believe that schools, children, parents will encounter more new problems, technology will be a tool to solve, and sometimes too much.

I think if children need to contact the screen for a long time, perhaps he will be more interested in nature in his spare time, hoping that the future parents will not complain:

"The child, after school with the family puppy play, do not touch the computer, too do not love to learn." ”

Remark: K-12 refers to 12 years of education in the United States from kindergarten to high school.
