Top Ten Issues Shaping Today's
Technology Uses in Education
1. Accountability and the standard
movement — Educators want to know (a)
how technology can help students meet
required curriculum standards and (b) what
role technology skills play in children's
education.
33

2. Funding for educational technology —
As technology costs grow and education
funds wane, policy makers ask, "How can
we justify spending scarce education
dollars on technology?"
3. The Digital Divide — Since technology
access differs between wealthier and
poorer schools, people want to know if
technology is deepening the economic
chasm between rich and poor.
34

4. Racial and gender equity — Science,
technology, and engineering careers remain
dominated by males and certain ethnic groups;
educators say more student involvement in
technology at earlier levels could change this
picture.
5. The role of distance education — Virtual
schools are springing up around the country.
Parents wonder: (a) Can all students succeed in
online environments? and (b) Will students learn
as much as in face-to-face classrooms?
35

6. Privacy and safety — As more student
data go online and students spend more
time on the Internet, measures have to be
put in place to limit access to personal data
and to protect students from online
predators.
7. Viruses and hacking — The online
community is seeing an unprecedented
number of viruses and illegal entries into
networks. Schools are forced to spend
precious funds on measures to protect
themselves.
36

8. Online plagiarism — Students have
easy access to papers and projects they
can turn in as their own work. Teachers
have to be on the alert for plagiarism and
use online sources to check suspicious
work.
9. Anti-technology sentiments — In light
of the scarcity of research on technology's
impact on indicators of education quality,
critics of educational technology are on the
attack.
37

10. Information literacy — Society's
increasing dependence on technology
to communicate information means
that students must learn the skills to
use information technologies
effectively.

Latest Trends on Technology
1. Artificial Intelligence:
From kindergarten school to graduate
school, one of the key ways artificial
intelligence will impact education is through
the application of greater levels of
individualized learning.

2. Virtual Reality: In the picture students is
taking their lecture through “Virtual Reality”;
Education is another sector that chose
virtual reality for learning purposes. The
advantage it brings in is that it enables large
groups of students to interact with each
other as well as within a three dimensional
environment.

41
3. The (M-Learning): In the past years,
companies have recognized that the learning of
education through mobile is increasing at an
alarming rate. For now the trend of using
computers is changing to mobile phones. Mostly
people use mobile phones for internet rather
than computers. Traffic of mobile users has
increased twice compared to computers and that
is why mobile app development companies are
developing learning apps for the education
sector which eventually contributes in an
increased user engagement level.

42
4. Tablet and Laptops:
Institutions are changing their teaching tools into more
of tech ones rather than the conventional teaching
methods, like laptops and tablets rather than books.
Using blackboards for teaching purposes has been the
part of the past now. Conventional ways of teaching
had higher costs than the methods used in the current
era. New technological methods have reduced the high
cost that once occurred. A big thank to the technology
that it has helped in spreading education in the majority
of households.

43
5. Social Media at Institutions: Social Media is
playing a vital role in the educational sector
as well, in different universities, colleges and
international school students are using their
social media platforms to connect with their
friends for group meeting, social get-
together and the Meet ups.

44
6. Cloud Based Technology in Education:
There are spots that arise in which a student
cannot go into a classroom or attend normal
classes. In these situations, cloud-based
classrooms can be ideal. These can include
basic text lessons, or can be as advanced as
to include video lessons or even live chat
sessions with the teacher via instant
messenger or video messaging programs like
Skype.

45
7. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course): MOOCs
is a platform where every student can
discover a free online course through
internet for years, although the quality and
quantity of courses changed day by day. It
has changed the face of education. MOOCs
can be considered as a term or word related
to the scalability of open and online
education.

46
8. Use of Videos in Education: Video is
another instrument which is used for the
recent year. Evan’s says 46 percent
teachers are using video in the classroom.
One-third of pupils are accessing online
video through their own initiate to help with
their homework.
