8 Form (2016) Module 5 New Technologies in Education

Module 5     New Technologies in Education
New technologies are being introduced into the process of education nowadays. Lectures or lessons taking place on YouTube are gaining popularity as they are reaching a potential audience of millions. Many pupils, who are having trouble with any school subject, have to ask a teacher to tutor them. It can be done with the help of online clips and videos. It is especially helpful for students who are fallen behind at school or who have to miss school because of illness or another reason. Online teaching can keep them up with their classmates.

On You Tube, for example, they can watch such video lessons whenever they want and repeat anything they don`t understand at their own pace without feeling embarrassed. In such videos, a teacher explains a principle of a subject with just his voice and his scribbles on a digital sketchpad. It makes a complicated topic entertaining and easy to understand through informal, chatty style. It motivates pupils when they see the teacher stumble through a problem himself, overcoming occasional errors with learn-as-you-go approach. Many teachers already use this technology as a teaching resource. Not only lessons but also university crash courses can be delivered through the Net to everyone who finds video lectures and lessons more useful and comfortable than the usual lessons.
