Technology for Efficiency and Connection
These are tall orders for education systems and educational providers, but many needed pieces already exist. Increased use of technology by educators and students (accelerated by the pandemic) provides the opportunity to collect and use data in an ongoing manner. Artificial intelligence allows us to create adaptive algorithms to target content difficulty to the skills and needs of the students. End-of-lesson or end-of-unit activities can be provided including a variety of options in digital or print format. By using simulations or other technology-enhanced interactions, students can complete projects or experiments virtually and could help compensate for a lack of funding or equipment.
