What is biggest present we have received from technology? Well, my answer would be a smaller world filled with wonders. Really, it is an amazing tiny world where we reach people, earn degrees, buy wardrobes, and consult doctors sitting at home only through a few clicks. The way technology has changed our academic and professional experience was unpredictable even a few years ago. Workers solve customer issues sitting in a car, students finish their assignments lying on sofa; no matter how hectic your work schedule gets or how huge your school curriculum is they fit smoothly in your pocket and you move easily working on them. Technology that made schools and offices available on phones and gadgets has introduced customized earning and learning system where people perform on their own terms.


A Different Way to Knowledge:


Bill Sheskey, a Teacher-Educator and a Technology Specialist advocates for the evolving educational environment in her book Essential Education for a Changing World. She says that students entering classes today are far different from what they were sometime earlier. The teachers of 21st Century realize that they require a changed environment as the generation today is capable of gathering more information faster than the other ones. So, learning institutions today rely more on vibrant equipments and playful procedures than big text-books and tedious lectures. Students today learn via video conferences, webinars, online forums, designed lessons, and exciting apps – for the entire world it’s time for smart learning.


In a changed world of education, you are offered better atmosphere as it endorses…


Faster and Easier Solutions: Students with the facility of internet have access to huge information. Only through a few clicks learners today get thousands of data in a moment. Education delivered through internet helps the students learn more effectively supported by the huge collection of supplements. 


Learning at Convenient Pace and Space

Learning, these days have become really enjoyable as people are allowed to learn on their own terms. They design their courses and create learning routine according to their convenience. Education no more requires you to run after a ticking clock, you can set it in line with your preference.


Several Opportunities:

Gone are the days when you missed lectures as you missed a class; and struggled badly to understand further chapters. Video instruction has solved the issue. You can hear to a lecture whenever you want and keep repeating it as long you don’t get a hang of it.


Technological Tools for Education:

Technological intervention is a major event in the history of education. The exciting learning tools enhance your reading and writing skills by helping you to manage information, to make notes quickly and easily, understand and review performances. These tools even help you to get tips from specialist and remain posted about current events of the world. 


More Engaging Atmosphere:

Education today has come a long way from tiresome monologue. Today, it involves vivid activities and delivers knowledge through vibrant dialogues between peers and educators. This very fresh process of learning is supported by wikis, journals, blogs, and various forums. Education in recent times in collaboration with internet has made learning a social event.

Academic aspirers have always wished for a convenient education system that will not require people to abide by hundreds of rules. And it feels good to say that the time has come. Learning today is no more designed in accordance with intuitional norms but tailored to suit the learner’s preference. Students, who didn’t like sitting on the same bench, meeting same people and turning pages of that fat text book have different option to choose this time. The changes occurring everyday confirm that going back to school is not going back to the same rules.
