Technology has touched each and every sphere of our life. Presently the use of technology into the mainstream education system has been a breakthrough for all stakeholders.
Being hands-on with this boon of technology automatically results in better quality outputs that too with utmost convenience.
Desktops, laptops, tablets have now brought a school to the child, which was just confined to the physical availability of the student and teacher in the age-old setups.
Digitalization of Education literally means breaking the ties of the conventional setup and making education more accessible and flexible using online tools such as internet connectivity, access on devices and portal based studies and assessments.
As per a survey conducted by “Statista”, 27% of the students globally have liked the courses offered throughout the year in online schools.
Today we are keeping the child as a pivot while framing any instruction objective. Digitalization of education not only supports this approach but also caters to the needs of different types of learners, the most basic parameter of assessment which has been neglected till now.
This can be summed up as “Cutting your cloth according to your size”.
Additionally, with the modern online methods of teaching and learning a student has a lot of buffer time for personal skill development, goal chasing, extra-curricular/non-academic activities, which keeps the mind and body active.
David Warlick, a renowned American educationist, rightly said “We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world”.
Needs and circumstances vary from person to person and therefore, not everyone fits in a pre-defined system. Exceptions are always there and special cases need special resolutions.
Digitalization of education has been a blessing for the 21st-century student from all walks of life. Institutions such as Florida Virtual School and International Schooling have been instrumental in driving the modern-day student towards online mediums and have paved a way forward. Technology has the potential to make education accessible in every nook and corner of the world by touching the life of every child and nurture him/her blossom to the fullest. Let’s hope a better acceptance of these platforms will make more of our little one’s benefit and shine!
