In fact, technology in education is already present in countless ways in most schools across the country, whether through classic computer labs, the use of digital whiteboards, or even the application of tablets and smartphones that allow students to immerse themselves in the digital universe to facilitate the learning process.

The technological revolution is undoubtedly a driver of the educational revolution. Therefore, it is necessary for agents in this scenario to constantly update themselves on available resources to realize which processes can be optimized and how to find new ways to carry out the same activity with more interactivity and dynamism.

To this end, we, the team at Codeblog, have listed 5 trends in education technology that can be applied in schools. Follow along with us and check them out!

1. Augmented Reality

Although this tool is not exactly new to many students and teachers, it is clear that augmented reality has found a space for great development in the school environment.

This solution allows for the exploration of additional resources within teaching materials and helps teachers capture students' attention and promote engagement.

2. Microlearning

Keeping in mind that teachers must struggle to secure students' attention, it is also necessary to consider that long and tiring class models have already passed their expiration date. After all, the way people consume content has changed drastically over the last few decades. New generations are constantly bombarded with new information emerging all the time through different mediums. Therefore, it is practically impossible to expect students to maintain focus for long periods when exposed solely to traditional teaching methods.

In this context, microlearning involves fragmenting educational content and diversifying transmission media to make it easier for students to learn. Ideal for the digital format, this concept utilizes videos, games, and animations to facilitate the transmission of knowledge.

3. Video Communication

Videos have been taking over not only social networks but also interpersonal relationships, as they present a simplified way to offer and absorb the most diverse types of content. Most of the time young people are online, they receive and transmit video content, whether on Instagram, YouTube, or Netflix.

In the educational field, it is possible to follow this trend by using video communication services to promote video lessons, animations, and video calls, which enable contact with people from different locations and realities, thus facilitating engagement and, consequently, learning.

4. Smartphones in the Classroom

Seen as "villains" of classroom concentration, smartphones cause countless disciplinary difficulties for both teachers and students.

However, there is no denying that they are a true "information bomb" and that it is indeed possible to use them in a beneficial and productive way.

There are countless applications with educational purposes such as digital books, augmented reality platforms, educational games, animations, video classes, and several other solutions that can be easily accessed thanks to mobile devices. Given this, and knowing that Generation Z students are immersed in technology practically 24 hours a day, it is necessary to find a middle ground that allows the use of cell phones in the educational process to achieve pedagogical objectives.

5. Data Generation and Personalized Teaching

By interacting with the virtual environment through assessments, online simulations, and video classes, students not only acquire and test their knowledge but also generate a large volume of educational data.

In light of this fact, managing this information allows for the creation of personalized teaching models capable of adapting to the knowledge level and pace of each student, in addition to minimizing difficulties and enhancing strengths.

Consequently, it is clear that managing educational data is a valuable solution for obtaining a general overview of the class and the students. Based on this action, it is possible to collect and use precise data and measurable results to extract the maximum potential from each student.

So, did you enjoy learning more about what the new technologies are and how they can impact the educational landscape? If this article was interesting to you, keep an eye on the Codebit blog. Soon, we will present new topics related to education and digitalization.

A big hug, and see you in the next post!
