b. Advances in technologies and the Internet have revolutionized and will continue to revolutionize every part of our lives. Jobs such as social media strategist, app developer, mobile web engineer will require a new way of thinking about how to approach the educational process and learning.
Since learning become more and more accessible to more and more areas of the globe, student development and skill range will develop exponentially creating a new wave of competition on the job market of the future. Corporations have already started recruitment in areas that go beyond national borders creating new dynamics and evolutions for the future job markets.
Many people think that due to the increased strategic importance of education, major changes in educational policy, how we test, how we measure achievement, how we teach and learn will change dramatically. To what extent these changes will prove themselves applicable and viable remains to be seen. One thing remains certain, generalizing national standards could have positive effects for applying what is working to achieve rapid and quantifiable results.
My reaction to readings and videos is one of direct appreciation. These are educational experiments and ideas that prove themselves applicable and demonstrate that technology will create new dynamics and opportunities for learning. What is working in India might work in other place of the World, including in the United States or England. Other ideas might not work given the particularities and the complexity of learning environments and cultural factors. Yet, one thing remains certain. Those who try first certain ideas will have a competitive advantage. The more we understand how learning process happens, the more we will be able to find the appropriate answers, and for that, any applicable idea should be taken into consideration.
