Big data and privacy for students
This article takes a close look at data and privacy, how they are connected, how they’re changing and what this might mean for students and schools.
Technology
A new world of work for students
Welcome to Industry 4.0 – one in which large scale manufacturing combines with personalisation, constant changes to product lines, fewer human workers, vastly improved efficiency and extremely short delivery times. So what does this mean for learning?
Machine Learning – the benefits
We’ve written about the emerging power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its implication for learning and the future before, and often its potential challenges and pitfalls. However, like any human endeavour, AI has the potential to do enormous good, and today we’re looking at some of the benefits it’s starting to bring. With these benefits come new opportunities and new questions, and we’re keeping a firm eye on learning for the future as we share the examples of how AI can be a powerful force for good.
Technology and automation – all just hype?
This week’s focus is squarely on technology and automation, what the research indicates what’s happening right now, and suggests what might happen in the future.
AI and creativity – info. for educators
This week we’re looking at Artificial Intelligence (AI) again. We are starting with some new ways in which AI is being applied, and looking at how humans are starting to interact with AI before moving into the education and learning spheres.
Exponential technology crash course
AI is already everywhere, and we’ve written about it before. AI decides what we see on Youtube, Netflix and social media. Amazon’s supply chain can’t run without it, and we need to get used to the fact that it’s here to stay. But, as with any emerging digital technology, AI presents enormous opportunities to benefit us, and potential problems as well. Today we’re looking at what some of the challenges might be, along with what young people need to be aware of and talking about, if they’re not already.
21st Century Skills for Students
Anyone who works in education, learning or an industry or any kind is hearing about the need for people to develop ’21st Century Skills’. These skills are now becoming essential for human development and success in life and work, and are being coupled with new technical skills from exponential industries.
Transport is Evolving – here’s how
From the research, it’s clear that new and emerging forms of transport are going to transform how we move and live, so today we’re taking a look at where the investment is happening, likely trends that might develop, and what this might mean for us as teachers, parents and school leaders.
Education Trends – what’s the future?
Today we’re looking at emerging educational technologies and resources, along with some of the conversations that are happening around learning for the future.
10 facts about the future of Science
Today we’re going to look at some of the work being done through a Science lens and the new opportunities for young people as they enter university and the world of work.
