    involve cooperation and Technology will
  • 00:04:14
    help it to become a lot easier it
  • 00:04:17
    creates an efficient environment where
  • 00:04:20
    the students can freely communicate and

    help each other
  • 00:04:24
    easy access to educational resources

    such as ted.com Wikipedia and Etc it
  • 00:04:31
    helps students to improve their
  • 00:04:32
    understanding when students don't know
  • 00:04:35
    the answer to a question they can easily
  • 00:04:37
    find helpful information on the internet
  • 00:04:40
    students can also make choices on what
  • 00:04:43
    kinds of activities they want to do in
  • 00:04:45
    lessons and when teachers can equally
  • 00:04:48
    support students then technology can
  • 00:04:51
    help to create a personalized learning
  • 00:04:54
    system that can help the students to
  • 00:04:56
    learn so much better
  • 00:04:59
    have you ever heard of a term
  • 00:05:01
    gamification
  • 00:05:03
    gamification and learning is an
  • 00:05:05
    educational approach that creates an
  • 00:05:08
    addiction toward it it enhances the
  • 00:05:12
    learning experience and it makes lessons
  • 00:05:15
    more fun and engaging
  • 00:05:17
    students can also have choices on
  • 00:05:20
    whether they want to study real-time
  • 00:05:22
    learning with the teachers of course and
  • 00:05:25
    learning at their own pace there are
  • 00:05:28
    students who can absorb ideas quickly
  • 00:05:31
    while there are some others who just
  • 00:05:34
    take some time to you know process all
  • 00:05:37
    that information in
  • 00:05:38
    while this way students who are
  • 00:05:41
    confident of their own abilities they
  • 00:05:44
    can study and take as much time as they
  • 00:05:47
    want to process all those information
  • 00:05:50
    they are in full control of what and
  • 00:05:54
    when they learn
  • 00:05:56
    the students knowledge retention will
  • 00:05:59
    also increase as there is no stress in
  • 00:06:01
    time pressure
  • 00:06:04
    well we all know that every parent
  • 00:06:07
    always wants their children to be
  • 00:06:09
    successful in schools they always are
  • 00:06:12
    very curious on how their children is
  • 00:06:15
    participating in the classroom but sadly
  • 00:06:18
    the only time they'll ever get all of
  • 00:06:21
    this information is in end of semester
  • 00:06:24
    meetings well technology can help
  • 00:06:27
    parents to monitor their children's
  • 00:06:29
    progress even if they are not directly
  • 00:06:32
    in the classroom themselves
  • 00:06:34
    also parents can use this technology to
  • 00:06:38
    help support their children in their
  • 00:06:40
    studies
  • 00:06:42
    but in fact parents sometimes struggle
  • 00:06:45
    when helping their children in their
  • 00:06:47
    studies
  • 00:06:48
    so educational apps exist such as Khan
  • 00:06:53
    Academy skillshare brilliant well yeah
  • 00:06:57
    you know all that they have videos with
  • 00:07:00
    step-by-step instructions with a lot of
  • 00:07:03
    details but they're very easy to
  • 00:07:06
    understand parents can use these videos
  • 00:07:08
    to understand about their children's
  • 00:07:11
    subject matter more and they can
  • 00:07:13
    demonstrate it way way easier to the
  • 00:07:16
    children
  • 00:07:21
    there is no doubt that the covid-19
  • 00:07:24
    pandemic has changed education forever
  • 00:07:26
    and school closures have disrupted the
  • 00:07:29
    functioning of the educational system
  • 00:07:31
    this is why online learning has become
  • 00:07:34
    the best alternative solution well to
  • 00:07:37
    sustain education of course and it has
  • 00:07:40
    been implemented in many many countries
  • 00:07:42
    online learning enables students to
  • 00:07:45
    study from home safely and lose severe
  • 00:07:47
    lockdowns and social distancing
  • 00:07:50
    although
  • 00:07:51
    you might have heard that online
  • 00:07:54
    learning has some disadvantages
  • 00:07:57
    but example excessive screen time for
  • 00:08:02
    the students or it creates a sense of
  • 00:08:04
    isolation like most students would find
  • 00:08:07
    this online learning effective and
  • 00:08:10
    exciting more than the actual class
  • 00:08:13
    itself
  • 00:08:14
    but wait you're missing a really huge
  • 00:08:17
    Advantage here because online learning
  • 00:08:19
    or online education it trains their
  • 00:08:22
    students self-discipline skills such as
  • 00:08:25
    being organized in the workspace time
  • 00:08:28
    management
  • 00:08:30
    Etc but most importantly these skills
  • 00:08:33
    are really needed for them if they want
  • 00:08:36
    to achieve success in their future
  • 00:08:38
    careers
  • 00:08:41
    overall technology is a really useful
  • 00:08:44
    tool with education it supports both
  • 00:08:47
    teaching and learning effectively most
  • 00:08:50
    students will find boring with
  • 00:08:51
    technology more fun and easier and I I
  • 00:08:56
    believe that in the future technology
  • 00:08:58
    continues to grow and support education
  • 00:09:01
    more and it will become the most
  • 00:09:04
    important part of our educational system
  • 00:09:07
    today thank you
  • 00:09:08
    [Applause]
