technology

4. Some trends that will be taking over in the media and
technological future are:
1. On demand televisions/Movies- It is believed that
with the revolution of sites such as watchseries and
netflix, over time television will evolve in such a way
that all regular showing programmes on the television
will become a thing of the past. In that, all the
programmes that are now aired on regular televisions
will be places on an On Demand bases. So that you
watch them when u want or see fit.

5. 2. The rise of 3D technology and virtual realities –
More persons are using 3 – dimensional materials and
virtual presentation materials in an effort to give
presentations a realistic feel. 1 and 2 dimensional
presentations will soon become obsolete because
research shows that person are most likely to
remember what they experiences as opposed to what
they see or hear about.

6. 4. Cloud computing – This involves the saving of
information and pictures in a cloud found in the
virtual space. With this cloud, information is always
available to you as long as you can provide the
password and username. With cloud computing
information is saved in the event of system damage,
lost or tuft. Are your personal medias are found at your
finger tips.

7. 5. Online advertising – Most of the advertising that are
done by businesses is now done by via the internet.
More business places are indulging in the online
advertisements due to majority of the audience being
online. Persons are now moving away from the regular
news papers and televisions, therefore, advertisers
have to conduct business where the audience is found.

8. 6. E-learning – This is the teaching of a particular
curriculum on the internet instead of in the traditional
classroom. Persons receive notes ad information
online and also view presentations and other materials
to foster the learning of a particular content. This is
often times done form the comfort of the home and
proves to be just as effective as the in-class teaching.

9. Schools of the
future

10. As technology evolves, the means of education persons
will evolve as well. Education will take on a more
technological approach with the use of gadgets,
multimedia materials, and vertual classrooms which
will phase out what we now view as technology (books,
television, dvd players, etc).

11. Some technological trends noted in
education are;
 Flipped Learning- Flipped Learning is a form of
blended learning where students learn their lessons
at home by watching video lectures and studying
content online, and then doing their homework in
class. Basically instead of learning directly from the
teacher students learn from each other through a
process of small groups

12.  Remote Learning - This model allows students
who can't make it to school still attend virtually.
They attend class through video and access content
online. Other technologies can also be used including
video conferencing, class forums, pre-recorded
videos, social media, and email. This provides a
higher quality of learning that would otherwise be
unavailable due to distance or time.

13.  Digital Textbooks - These are textbooks which are
provided to students on technological devices. It is
believed that it is more expensive to provide students
with a laptop or tablet but in the end it would have
proved to be a lot more inexpensive as these
textbooks once virtually owned is assigned to an
account which once the account is active the books
will always be there. ( if gadget is damaged, the
books can be uploaded to a new gadget form the old
account with no hassle or extra cost).

14.  Social Media - Social media sites are taking over to
enhance the learning experience that children
receive. The technique of using the interest of
students in teaching is increasing in the education
sector. Teachers are now using youtube in the
classroom and also different sites are being used to
start discussion such as a hashtag on twitter and
instagram. This is contribution in the increasing
online presences of learners and also the
demolishment of the classroom.
