The Orange Foundation has given us a series of studies that focus on everything digital is meaning for our lives.As if 'The Three Musketeers' were involved, we have talked about tourism and the world of commerce.The third in discord is a sector such as education, key to establish the foundations of the future of our society.As we have done on other occasions, it is time to stop explaining ourselves and go down to the arena.Digital education is a reality yes, but How do we know? Well, with all this many practices that different centers and companies have already launched.Attack!
Cloud for all
Clouds in the sky laden with rain.Digital clouds crammed with tools.The cloud has meant a great change in educational processes.Yes, for example, the Junta de Castilla-La Mancha with its Plan Extended School: Digital Backpack that chooses, precisely, to lighten the weight that students have to carry on their backs.No more backpacks overloaded with books.Yes to digital educational resources.
New virtual teaching environments are necessary for a society that is already immersed in all these processes.The Anaya Group has launched the Greta Digital Space.It is a platform that contains, like a magic trunk, all kinds of educational materials .Textbooks, tools...Within a simple click.
To the rich Big Data of chocolate and pineapple, for the child and the girl.For the teacher and the student.Data analysis allows to develop customized tools.That is the spirit of the Santillana publishing house and the company Knewton, which They have launched with an adaptive learning platform .Or, what is the same, that each student learns according to their unique and personal characteristics.
At this time, you are not able to imagine the number of courses and subjects that exist in the online world , thanks to the development of MOOCs, online and free, that teach you the same thing to do a social media campaign to raise your lovebird.The Polytechnic University of Valencia is the Spanish university with the greatest offer in MOOC.Studying for free and at your own pace is possible with Polimedia technology, present on the UPV platform [X].
Mobile, how good you came
If now we we ask "how could we live without the mobile", maybe in the future the question is "how could we study without the mobile" Among the new educational models that integrate mobile devices we have, for example, the Guappis Project that not only provides tools, but it serves so that teachers can share their experiences with other teachers.
At Hogwarts, they taught potions and spells and at Base School they do their magic integrating ICT from childhood to the university stage.It is a private institution that chooses to teach through different devices among which, of course, , students use the iPad to access the subjects .
The problem of the digital revolution in the classroom is, it must be recognized, the tremendous envy that gives us adults.Monkimun is a company that designs applications and tools for children to learn languages ...while they play., has an experimental project with a touch table and an adventure game .That said, I want to go back to school.
And more about digital backpack, launica of the light world like a pen.Escudo Web Software is a startup that works with educational tools.One of its products is OnBook , a digital backpack that integrates tools such as Parental control or content filter so that the tablet is a key protagonist in education but also provides security.
IoT, the Internet of Things and education
Here comes the Internet of Things, to make us doubt whether we live in reality or in a Futuristic movie.FabLab@School is a project that in Spain collaborates with the Liceu Politecnic de Rubi.The FabLab is a space for experimentation, creativity, fun...with tools such as 3D printers or laser cutters, so that children develop their abilities imagining and then building everything they want.
Once upon a time there were children who did not want to stop studying, and it is not surprising, with tools such as those proposed by the Mare Nostrum School in Ceuta.Their initiative 'Europe in the suitcase' is an example of how augmented reality It serves to motivate students.Children have created a VR puzzle with a map of Europe and its monuments.Or they can participate in Lego Robotix, an educational robotics workshop .
The turns of life.A few years ago, having to wear glasses was torture.Now, we would all like to have some Google Glass.The use of wearables can revolutionize issues such as medical training.An example of this we have in Stanford University that uses this gadget so that residents can watch operations via streaming .
Social networks, making friends
Some use social networks to comment on that video of kittens or hang a photo of the sandwich that they are going to put between chest and back, and others, use them to make the study a new experience.This is how the EuLES Network works (Environments of u-learning in Higher Education) that has taken u-learning to another level by working firmly in the interaction between people and the transfer of knowledge, experiences and technologies .Okay, surely they also comment on that kitty video, it's so cute.
And to do everything safely and promote, also in the classroom, the responsible use of technologies, what better than learning in EducaInternet, an educational platform developed by Orange for teachers, to whom it offers an environment to collaborate with experts and with other professors to improve their training in the safe and responsible use of technologies and how to transfer these contents to students.
Do you need someone to teach you about a very specific, super specific subject that nobody seems to know? Try Apprentus.This marketplace matches teachers and students and searches for a teacher for any type of learning you need.Work with users from Europe and Asia to cover all fronts.
Snapchat fans.In addition to uploading those crazy videos full of filters and ramshackle messages, do you know that you can use the app to find work ? It is what is already happening in some university circles in which companies take advantage of the radius of the network of the phantom to capture new talents.
Crowdfunding is one of those tremendously positive experiences that the Internet world has given us.On an educational level, the possibilities are endless.Like those proposed by Pildorea, an audiovisual training platform that is conceived with pills in form of three-minute videos in which to learn about specific issues.There are also micro courses and courses for each user to build their own educational itinerary.As the one “choose your own adventure”, do you remember?
