Emerging Technologies In Education

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I am brainstorming technologies that are emerging within education. I have seen some great tools like OCR on iPads - A student takes a photo of text on a paper and it converts it to editable text. I can see video feedback for students being a thing one day.

 

Does anyone else have any ideas please?

 

Thanks

Remote working/Telepresence has grown somewhat in the last couple of years, impressed with how that is making students more inclusive (I am looking at this this week at BETT for some children in the school where I am governor).

 

My usual day job keeps me with staff and admin technologies within education, so what I am seeing is more of a move online/cloud for traditionally hardware-reliant technologies - whether that be local clients or with hardware interfaces.

 

Also really interesting to see the rise in children's pre-payment cards/pre-loaded cards to help teach them about responsible spending and giving them more independence.

 

Analytics is on the rise again after a faltering start the past couple of years, with more multi-source analytics and data sharing between technologies making interesting inroads.
