With little to no training or preparation, they have stepped up to keep learning going. A recent eSchool News article highlighted that most teachers don’t feel fully prepared for remote learning. Like teachers, they are working crazy hours to help keep learning going. It hasn’t been easy for them to say the least.
Privacy and Student Data During these pressing circumstances, many educators are curating and sharing digital tools, strategies, and tips for remote teaching with their networks. Butash is right in pointing out the risks involved in this quick shift to using digital technologies.
Source (for all charts in article): BrightBytes survey Such findings are not surprising to Baker, who notes that they reaffirm the existence of the “ digitaldivide ,” or unequal access to technology across different communities and socioeconomic backgrounds.
While there is still work to do in closing the digitaldivide, access is becoming less of a limiting factor for game-based learning. For example, manufacturing companies are doing away with written manuals and effectively using AR platforms for training on continually evolving machinery.
Students can learn at their own pace, revisit difficult concepts, and access a wealth of information right at their fingertips. Personalized Learning Experiences Educational Technology (EdTech) has revolutionized learning by enabling personalized educational experiences.
The integration of digital tools such as interactive software, cloud-based platforms, and adaptivelearning systems has shifted traditional educational models towards more personalized, flexible, and engaging learning experiences. Moreover, edtech facilitates greater collaboration and communication.
AI in education is used to enhance personalized learning experiences, streamline administrative tasks, and provide valuable insights into student performance. AI-powered adaptivelearning platforms analyze individual student strengths and weaknesses, tailoring educational content to meet specific needs.
Global accessibility: AI facilitates online education, providing access to quality learning resources and courses globally. Negative aspects: Bias and inequity: If AI algorithms are trained on biased data, they may perpetuate existing inequities in education. These innovations disrupt traditional classroom structures and methodologies.
Here’s what they had to say: Text-based AI interfaces provide an opportunity to help close the digitaldivide…and avoid an impending AI divide. This will necessitate a reevaluation of curricula, training methods, and the development of future-ready skills.

Adaptivelearning platforms are gaining prominence as personalized becomes more critical for student success. These platforms use artificial intelligence to tailor lessons based on individual student progress and needs, making for a more effective and customized learning experience. How has technology impacted K-12 education?
Challenge #1: Inequitable access to resources Some thought leaders have openly worried about how access to AI tools might impact today’s existing digitaldivide. Challenge #2: The need for training and support The necessity for comprehensive training around any new technology is seen as a given nowadays.
There do exist potential negative impacts, including issues like the digitaldivide, unequal access to resources, and concerns about screen time. The digitaldivide widens as some students lack access to essential devices and reliable internet connectivity, hindering their ability to fully participate in digitallearning environments.
The digital availability of information has accelerated the pace of knowledge sharing, enabling instant access to a vast repository of resources. Collaboration is not confined by physical barriers–global learning communities connect and share insights in real-time.
Hybrid learning models, blending in-person and online elements, offer flexibility. Digital literacy and coding education prepare students for a technology-centric future. Despite these advancements, challenges like the digitaldivide necessitate attention.
Educational software, including interactive simulations and virtual labs, brings abstract concepts to life, enhancing experiential learning. Furthermore, adaptivelearning platforms, like Khan Academy and Duolingo, cater to individual student needs, offering personalized learning paths and immediate feedback.
From interactive apps and online platforms to adaptivelearning systems, technology has redefined traditional teaching methodologies, promoting personalized and engaging educational experiences. Secondly, technology fosters personalized learning by adapting to individual student needs.
And unfortunately, we know that for those who do attend college, many fail to complete, leaving millions of young people without the education and training necessary for career success. Displays in the classroom can also integrate with digital signage installed around campus—from the front office to the sports field.
The implication, according to one NYT article : “the digital gap between rich and poor kids is not what we expected.” The real digitaldivide, this article contends, is not that affluent children have access to better and faster technologies. (Um, Brain Training. Um, they do.) You're sexist. Unbundling".
Now the group will be called Career Education Colleges and Universities , to reflect its focus on career training.” Former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has joined the Board of Directors of the skills training company Pluralsight. (He’s The New York Times on “The Challenges of Closing the DigitalDivide.”
