TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION AND STRATEGY
2. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
• Before we move on, we need to understand the term technology in from the
most basic aspect.
• Technology is anything which makes life easier because it makes every work less
time consuming.
• Technology is being used in every other aspect of our life and has made life easy
and shaped learning process and cycles.
3. TECHNOLOGY IS EVERYWHERE, IN
EVERYTHING!
• We are living in a “digital” age where technology has taken over every aspect of
our life and has made daily routine tasks fast, efficient and easy.
• Instant- is the word that comes to mind when we are using technology to
complete the work or do anything.
• The most important part is it helps us to anything anywhere- be it an email, a
text message, studies or even meeting our loved ones online. Everything has
become one click away.
4. TECHNOLOGY IS SHAPING THE FUTUTE OF
EDUCATION- HOW?
• Technology has not only innovated out daily routine tasks but also had a huge
impact in the life of students. It has completely transformed the way we LEARN.
• The schools are incorporating technology is the classroom and different practical
projects.
• The entrepreneurial spirit has seen a rise among the recent graduates
• Educators are much concerned about using different levels of technology into
their lessons.
5. FORMS OF TECHNOLOGY SHAPING THE FUTURE OF
EDUCATION:
• How to define the future of learning?- the basic idea determines that It should start with defining
how the classrooms of the future be like?
• In any event however, we can extrapolate from what these promising advancements and foresee
how schools will embrace them so as to come.
• With respect to now, let us watch their advancement and guess on how these cutting-edge
innovations could possibly improve learning in terms of education of students.
6. 1. AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)
• An innovation that superimposes a computer created picture on a client's perspective of
this present reality, subsequently giving a composite view.
• It's expected to wow groups of onlookers with AR capacities, which permit clients to see
extra data layered over what they see through the perspective. Right now, be that as it
may, access to AR innovation for instructive reasons is generally constrained to smart
phone applications.
• With AR products like, GOOGLE glass, students get to explore the world without actually
holding up to a device.
• Hence, augmented reality, blurs the line between
what's real and what's computer-generated by
enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell.
7. 2. 3D PRINTING
• 3D printing, otherwise called added Additive Manufacturing, alludes to forms used to make a
three-dimensional object in which layers of material are framed under PC control to create an
object.
• Instead of being restricted to what they can play with, students in the classroom of the future
can print out 3D models for various purposes, including show-and-tell.
• The decreasing cost of 3D printers means that more teachers will be able to reconstruct
complex concept models to teach theoretical concepts.
• This can help students put a form on abstract thought, and aid in better understanding.
8. 3. CLOUD COMPUTING
• In near future, students may just need an electronic
device to access all their homework and all other learning
resources in the Cloud.
• This means no more lugging heavy textbooks to school,
and having constant access to your reading materials as
long as you have an Internet connection.
• The digital library is accessible even when the campus
library is not. In fact you can skip hitching a ride there, or
to the bookstore or even to class (but being sick may no
longer be an acceptable excuse to skip “attending” class
from your bedroom).
9. 4. ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING
• Numerous universities abroad have already registered themselves with the online virtual
world to provide students with an online platform to socialize with each other.
• As a big part of the cloud platform, such social networks allows students to share their ideas
freely, while teachers moderate.
• Furthermore, this many-to-many interactive learning where ideas are allowed to flow freely
will be more aligned with real-world scenarios where collaboration is usually the norm
• Another benefit is that It also serves as a great feedback tool. A social-based approach to
education will seem more than relevant to students of the future.
10. 5. BIOMETRICS: EYE TRACKING
• Conventionally biometrics are associated with the security industry, as it uses what is
unique to each one of us to authenticate our identity: fingerprints, facial recognition,
iris patterns, voice.
• In terms of education, some of the schools are only using fingerprinting to prevent
truancy and for borrowing books from their school library.
• The data may then be integrated with interactive
adaptive learning systems in a manner that adjusts
the content to best suit each student’s learning style.
11. 6. GAME BASED LEARNING
• The childhood of the students revolves around YouTube, Facebook and
smartphones that provide them with on-the-go 24-hours updates and
the answers to all their queries through Google and Wikipedia.
• To cater to such a fast-paced generation, schools will eventually abandon
traditional teaching methods of rote learning to align themselves with
the time.
• One great way to achieve that is to use what had always been
considered as a major distraction to learning – video games.
• This will illustrate how educators are moving away from traditional
classroom teaching to that of letting students have fun and learn while
they play interactive games.
12. HOW WILL SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
• Homework and projects will be submitted online, via Dropbox or school personal portal.
• Grades will be posted online immediately since the exams will be conducted online.
• Classes will be available online via YouTube or Google Hangouts both in real time and
archived. Virtual studies will be a new thing.
• Each class will have a website, a wiki, a Google Classroom -- or some sort of digital
version of the classroom which will closely replicate what happens in the class on a daily
basis. It will include the videos of class, schedules, assignments, links to online materials,
embeddable class calendar, and be accessible from school or home.
13. HOW WILL SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
(CONTD.)
• Students will each have a digital portfolio where they
store all of their projects, assessments, notes.
• Students will take digital notes on a tablet or an iPad.
• Schools/universities will have digital bulletin
boards that display a scrolling collection of student
work.
• Conferences will be virtual real-time meetings.
• Students will use technology to execute tasks at every
opportunity -- schedule presentations, take a poll, read,
time an activity, get directions, check data. Teachers will
challenge students to come up with tech solutions to
common activities.
15. • Schools and universities in Pakistan are imposing the concept of technology and
innovation in different forms; in class rooms, in day to day activities and students are
also motivated to start their own venture based on technology because that’s what
future holds.
• Teachers in Pakistan in many schools and universities are handed an electronic
tablet/laptops and are able to access detailed “lesson plans” for every subject, at a
single touch.
• The use of proven technology and progressive lesson planning would certainly brighten
the future of education in Pakistan. As the nation spends $5.2 billion in real estate
construction, and UNESCO identifying 25 million children out of school, it will take less
than 0.4% to educate the whole of Pakistan (www.pakistantoday.com)
16. EXAMPLE:
• Beaconhouse School System: Beaconhouse is one of
the renowned schools in Pakistan and holds a very
good reputation when it comes to teaching their
children using technology. The Discovery Centre is a
branch of Beaconhouse School System that uses the
Project Based Learning approach to Teaching and
Learning.
• Features:
1. Computers in every classroom for enhanced
teaching and learning
2. Internet connectivity in every classroom for
facilitating the “global classroom” concept
3. Digital media resources for film-making
4. Cross-curricular, project based approach to
learning
17. EXAMPLE:
• Online Recruitment Tests of Multinational Companies: In
Pakistan, many of the companies have started taking
recruitment test online through which they are able to test:
1. student’s behavior
2. their reactions; and
3. their decision taking skills in extreme cases.
• Earlier, there used to be written aptitude/recruitment tests
for the students but now the process has been innovated
and technology based.
18. ACTION PLAN?
• In order to make sure that the technological innovation is a part of education in each and every
school in Pakistan, the education commission needs to take steps.
• We need to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit among our students in order to have their
focus towards technological innovation and maybe that’s how we can increase the technological
advancements in our education industry.
• For this, the incubators like Nest I/O are working in Pakistan to help the youth achieve what they
aim in terms of technological change
• Conference, fairs, competitions should be held in different universities and across the nation in
which experts can visit and comment on their ideas. Crowdfunding should get a proper
direction.
• The business plans along with their feasibility reports should be made public in order to attract
different sorts of investors.
19. THE MISTAKE WE MAKE?
• While innovating or coming up with new technology and differentiating our
business or product from other available devices in the industry, we tend to
take our prices to the highest level and claim that we are different and hence,
we can quote such price.
• That’s a mistake we make!
• Innovation is all about the simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and cost. If
we can keep both of these at equilibrium, we are good to go!
