The schools of the future generation may have the traditional unit of students. Some of the changes have already taken its wing with the exposure of educational apps, mobile learning sources or say e-learning programs, massive open online courses (MOOC’ s), etc.

Below are some of the top educational trends or education technologies that would put a new light in the school system and change the face of learning and teaching the system.

Future technologies and trends in education

Technology always remains at the forefront of the social education. It is pushing the capabilities of learning and the school system to new levels. All this is mainly possible with the implementation of some of the new tools and methods of which some of them are given below-

  • Mobile Learning or E-learning

The mobile learning apps, structure more information to the students about the subjects and chapters for all the classes including the NCERT etc. The mobile learning apps are said to be a useful resource also for the aspirants who appear for the competitive and civil service examinations like UPSC, IIT, JEE, GMAT, etc. They cover all the topics and moreover, the apps, have online content and also video lectures that helps a student in critical problem-solving skills.

For example-

Consider the Byju’s-The learning App, one of India’s best-known education app in the technology and education platform. The apps serve several friendly features and attributes that are making students fall in love with the learning. This education app is incorporated with 1000+ of video lectures from India’s best trainers and teachers.
