2. • While it is difficult to make precise
predictions, it is quite likely that technology
we are totally unaware today may be
developed in the years following the turn of
the century. It may also be technology that
totally changes the way we think about the
world and the opportunities for the delivery of
effective and efficient education.

3. Current Trends in Teaching and Learning in the
Future
 1. Student - Centered Learning
 2. Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non-
cognitive Skills
 3. The Spread of New Information
Technology

4. Student-Centered Learning:
 Education is shifting to a more student-
centered approaches.
The student-centered techniques will not
replace completely the teacher institution-
centered approach but there will be a slow
and steady increase in the use of student-
centered learning within the traditional
system.
To become competent, people must
continue studying.
New forms of education delivery such as
open-university.

5. Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non-
cognitive Skills
Increasing emphasis on group learning
activities
Group learning activities has been given
further impetus by the development of
science and technology-based games,
simulation and case studies
Decision-making, communication and
interpretation skills are now regarded as the
essential part of a properly rounded education

6. Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non-
cognitive Skills

7. The Spread of New Information
Technology
 IT in all its various forms and manifestations is
making an increasing impact on education
IT is now becoming the current trend in
equipping quality education
 IT equipments are rapidly becoming cheap

8. What is the role of computers in education?
What are the benefits of introducing
computers early in education?

9. Computers in Education
• Computer technology has had a deep impact on
the education sector. Imparting education has
become easier and much more interesting than
before. Owing to memory capacities of
computers, large chunks of data can be stored in
them. They enable quick processing of data with
very less or no chances of errors in processing
.Networked computers aid quick communication
and enable web access. Storing documents on
computers in the form of soft copies instead of
hard ones, helps save paper

10.  Computers are powerful, multifunctional
tools that fulfill many roles at all levels of
education. Computers are commonly used in
education for applications such as
communication, distributing education
materials, remote learning, performing class
work and admissions. In some cases computer
use may even be an educational requirement.

11. The advantages of computers in
education primarily include:
 Storage of information
 Quick data processing
 Audio-visual aids in teaching
 Better presentation of information
 Access to the Internet
 Quick communication between students,
teachers and parents

12. • Computers have changed the way we work, be it
any profession. Therefore, it is only but natural
the role of computers in education has been
given a lot of prominence in the recent years.
Computers play a vital role in every field. They aid
industrial processes; they find applications in
medicine; they are the heart of the software
industry; they play a vital role in education. The
uses of computers in education are manifold. The
following are the important facets of the role of
computers in education.

13. • Computers are a brilliant aid inteaching.•
Computers can turn out being a brilliant aidin
teaching. Computers facilitate an audio-visual
representation of information, thusmaking the
process of learning interactive andinteresting.
Computer-aided teaching addsa fun element
to education.

14.  Computer software help better presentation of information.
 Computers facilitate effective presentation of information.
Presentation software like PowerPoint and animation
software like Flash among others can be of great help to
teachers while delivering lectures. Teachers hardly use chalk
and board today. They bring presentations on a flash drive,
plug it in to a computer in the classroom, and the teaching
begins.
 Theres color, theres sound, theres movement - the same old
information comes forth in a different way and learning
becomes fun.
 The otherwise not-so-interesting lessons become interesting
due to audio-visual effects. Due to the visual aid, difficult
subjects can be explained in better ways. Things become
easier to follow .

15. • Computers enable access to the Internet which has
information on literally everything. Internet can play an
important role in education. As it is an enormous information
base, it can be harnessed for retrieval of information on a
variety of subjects. The Internet can be used to refer to
information on different subjects. Both teachers and students
benefit from the Internet. Teachers can refer to it for
additional information and references on the topics to be
taught. Students can refer to web sources for additional
information on subjects of their interest. The Internet helps
teachers set testpapers, frame questions for home
assignments and decide project topics. And not just
academics, teachers can use web sources for ideas on sports
competitions, extracurricular activities, picnics, parties and
more.

16. • Computer hard drives and storage devices are an excellent
way to store data. Computers enable storage of data in the
electronic format, there by saving paper. Memory capacities
of computer storage devices are in gigabytes. This enables
them to store huge chunks of data. Moreover, these devices
are compact. They occupy very less space, yet store large
amounts of data. Both teachers and students benefit from the
use of computer technology. Presentations, notes and
testpapers can be stored and transferred easily over computer
storage devices. Similarly, students can submit homework and
assignments as soft copies. The process becomes paperless,
thus saving paper. Plus, the electronic format makes data
storage more durable. Electronically erasable memory devices
can be used repeatedly. They offer robust storage of data and
reliable data retrieval.

17. • This was about the role of computers in education. But
we know, its not just the education sector which
computers have impacted. They are of great use in
every field. Today, a life without computers is
unimaginable. This underline the importance of
computer education. Knowledge of computers can
propel ones career in the right direction. Computers
area part of almost every industry today. They are no
longer limited any specific field. They are used in
networking, for information access and data storage
and also in the processing and presentation of
information.

18. • Introducing computers early in education
plays the foundation of most of the major
competitive careers. Computers play a
significant role in one’s personal and
professional life
