    Top Educational Technology Trends

    In 2020-2021
    Educational Technology Trends In 2020-2021

    Big Data, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) were the biggest
    educational technology trends of 2019. However, distance learning has become
    the one trend that rules them all. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically
    changed the way we teach and learn. Students now have to get used to distance
    learning via digital platforms due to social distancing. Even though some schools
    are reopening, this trend may continue until 2021. The latest EdTech trends in
    2020, and further into 2021 are being revolutionized with a strong focus on
    connectivity, versatility, and student-centered learning. Let’s take a look at the
    latest top 10 trends in educational technology.

    What Is Educational Technology And Why Should It Matter?

    Many people can recognize that EdTech is devoting technology to promote


    education. It’s true, but not sufficient. The Association for Educational
    Communications and Technology (AECT) has defined EdTech as “facilitating
    learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing
    appropriate technological processes and resources.” On the other hand,
    educators who actually use EdTech have a much simpler definition of the term.
    They say that it is a concept of transforming traditional book teaching and
    learning to digital form. For them, the main difference lies in the way knowledge
    is delivered (thanks to technology innovation) to make teaching more effective.

    In short, EdTech is simply the is a process of integrating technology into


    education to build better teaching/learning experiences that result in higher
    learning outcomes.

    For example, several hospitals are training their new nurses with online safety
    courses by using animation.
    Why Should It Matter?

    There are lots of reasons why educators shifted to EdTech, replacing the
    traditional paper-and-pen teaching method. Particularly, we list some common
    advantages of EdTech that you can easily see here:

    Innovative Teaching Methods

    Technology is an innovation of humans, so when an educator can apply


    technology to teaching, it is also innovative. EdTech allows teachers to provide
    multimedia to address diverse learning styles, such as animation, live video, etc.
    Besides, EdTech enables teachers to create online courses where students can
    learn in their own space and at their own pace.

    Improve Collaborative Teaching

    Technology has made it possible for everyone to stay connected. Students and
    teachers connect, discuss, share their opinions, and act upon situations
    collaboratively.

    For example, eLearning is an educational tool that features collaboration by


    enabling students to share and discuss. Instead of being in a classroom and
    listening to teachers speak for 30 minutes, eLearning students can join an online
    group/platform and learn together by interacting with their peers. In this case,
    teachers are more accessible and act as mentors to help students develop
    themselves. This collaborative learning approach has bridged the gap between
    teachers and students and also helps students strengthen their interpersonal
    skills.

    Teaching And Learning Process

    Firstly, EdTech benefits how teachers teach, both online and offline. Not always
    having to go to a specific class at a specific time, students can learn whenever
    and wherever. Secondly, EdTech changes the way students approach learning.
    EdTech makes learning more fun and exciting for students. When we feel
    engaged in learning, we learn better, remember better, and also apply knowledge
    better to real life. Lastly, technology makes education smarter, more effective,
    thus, satisfying learners’ needs more. True educators bring valuable knowledge to
    learners, both in theory and in real life. But smart educators are those who can
    create teaching from what learners want to learn.

    To sum up, EdTech doesn’t mean teachers have to become IT experts. But it’s true
    that teachers can do these fascinating things only with technology, and that’s
    why we need EdTech in life.
