Leveraging Technology for Enhancing Education

Leveraging Technology for Enhancing Education

As teachers, we must not use technology as a silicon coating, but with harnessing the power of technology to connect with our students. No more it is about copying and pasting which we have had been doing over the years. For power corrupts politicians so as the PowerPoint corrupts the teachers, if it has just slides and no explanations. For a matter of thought and intelligence, the platform should be to share for show rather than expecting it to be the only parcel for knowledge delivery.

There is a certain need to implement a new way of teaching through technology and hence a digital pedagogy is what is required the most. The teachers need to introspect how children may learn in this networked environment. We can’t simply take a text book and deliver it digitally, rather the need here is to explore the power to harness the best via connectivity and creativity to connect.

For sure, we are living in a world of change. There are ample tweets each minute, ample Facebook page views each minute. The academic Donald Norman describes skeuomorphism in terms of cultural constraints: interactions with a system that are learned only through culture. The term which intensifies the tech world with pride.

The world has only been used in the tech industry for a few years, where its meaning has changed, says Dan O’Hara, an academic at Birmingham City University. “Skeumorphs are not strictly something that can be designed,” he says.

“They occur unintentionally when aesthetic styles are inherited without thinking.” The photo views of Flickr which mounts to n’ undefined, explores the universal learning of repute.

With each minute of over 47,000 app downloads on the apple store encapsulates a new phase of dimensional learning taking place out of the hunger for knowledge.

The module "Leveraging Technology For Enhancing Education" is hence a priority.
