The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) reports that the previous ten years saw the creation of many high-demand occupations. Teachers may aid kids in developing the abilities they will need to be successful in the occupations of the future as technological advancements fuel globalization and the digital revolution. The COVID-19 epidemic is rapidly illuminating the importance of online education as a component of teaching and learning. Teachers may use online learning as a potent teaching tool by incorporating it into current curriculum rather than utilizing it only as a crisis-management tool. Digital learning technologies used effectively in the classroom may boost student engagement, assist teachers in creating better lesson plans, and promote individualized instruction. Additionally, it aids students in developing crucial 21st-century abilities.
The piece of technology that promotes learning is a laptop. Collaboration may be encouraged via educational technologies. Students can interact with one another throughout lessons in addition to engaging with teachers. Students have the opportunity to collaborate to solve challenges through online classes and educational activities. Students can encourage one another and exchange ideas through collaborative activities (Henriksen 411). Technology also makes it possible for students to engage directly with professors. Students can seek more assistance on concepts that are challenging to comprehend as well as ask questions about the classroom (Lai and Bower 30). Students may upload their schoolwork at home, and teachers can use computers to access and view completed assignments. Moreover, teachers may encourage children’s curiosity and inquisitiveness through entertaining and instructive material, which, according to studies, is linked to academic performance. Students that are curious learn math and reading subjects more effectively. AR, videos, and podcasts may all be used to create compelling content. Students can also engage with peers from across the world or add films in their work.
