Technology Reinvents Classroom Instruction.
A recent survey by the CDC reported that students’ comfort level with technology has led to a reimagining of classroom instruction and how to deliver it. The survey found more than 85 percent of students would rather learn from a video game than a textbook. An estimated 1.8 million students take online classes part-time, according to the International Association of K-12 Online Learning, and 250,000 are enrolled full-time in virtual schools. To date, 27 states operate statewide public online schools. This trend is expected to significantly increase within the few years.
Some early analysis has also indicated that online learning could also present a cost-saving opportunity for states and schools. A study commissioned by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative education policy group, estimated that a fully virtual learning environment could save up to $3,600 per student (national per-pupil spending averages $10,500). A model that blends digital learning with traditional modes could save more than $1,000 per student, the study found.
“School has gone from being a noun, a place where you go to learn, to a verb with a focus on learning,” said Holly Sagues, chief policy officer at the Florida Virtual School, during a discussion in April. Her school, the first of its kind when it opened in 1997, serves more than 120,000 students and spends about $1,300 less per pupil than its brick-and-mortar counterparts in the state.
Increasing access, growing acceptance, and decreasing cost are helping to make the use of laptop, ipad and mobile devices even more popular in schools. As the world of educational technology continues to advance, it is innovative software that will help increase student engagement and extend academic instruction beyond the classrooms.
