Hello, welcome to Education Today, we are coming to you live from Beijing.
I&`&m Luo Yu, sitting in for Wu You. Joining me in the studio is Farrah Allawi.
First up, we are going to talk about BIG WAYS EDUCATION WILL CHANGE BY 2020.
SOTRY 1: BIG WAYS EDUCATION WILL CHANGE BY 2020
The year 2020 seems to be a target for a lot of achievements. David Cameron aims to open up 500 new free schools around the UK, creating 270,00 places. China aims to finish the construction of its first space station in 2020 as well. And let&`&s not forget the Dubai 2020 expo, which will mark the very first time for the world expo to be held in the Middle East. So how about education by 2020? Let&`&s look at some big ways in which education will change by 2020.
1. STUDENTS WILL INTERACT WITH OTHERS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Classrooms today look nearly identical to those 30 years ago—minus a few upgrades to the modern chalkboard. But that&`&s slowly changing with the introduction of modern technology into classrooms.
Education technology will continue the push towards individualized instruction for students. Kids can "reach out beyond the walls of their classrooms to interact with other students, other teachers, and renowned authors, scientists, and experts to enhance their learning," she says. Some of those kids will grow up to become teachers, who will continue to build and use their own communities of learning online.
2. THE SUCCESS OF TECH WILL STILL RELY ON SKILLED TEACHERS
We might be sending kids to school in self-driving cars by 2020, but that doesn&`&t mean they&`&ll be taught by teacher-avatars and given tests via drone.
Education needs will drive technology use. Instead of simply finding ways to put more tablets in kids&`& hands, education technology will find new ways to supplement the best learning possible. Technology and the internet can help provide greater access to new skills training. This is powerful when combined with curricula and programming created and led by practitioner educators. The human factor is always important.
STORY 2: PI DAY!!!
Saturday marks Pi day! Pi day is marked every March 14th because it matches the first three numbers of PI. But this year is extra special because we&`&re going to have Ultimate Pi Day! This only happens once every 100 years where the most numbers of Pi correlate with the date.So instead of it being just 3.14 (March 14th) It&`&s going to be March 14 2015 so 3.1415 or PI!!! You&`&ll have to wait another 100 years for this to happen again!
To mark PI day, some schools take the opportunity to celebrate all things maths! March 14 also happens to be the birth date of Albert Einstein -- which makes the day an extra special one for planning math challenges and math fun!
