Advanced Classroom Technologies Are the Future
Our private schools in Orlando work every day to find ways to make your child’s educational experience the best. With advancing technology, our goal becomes easier to accomplish. The future of our classrooms incorporate emerging technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), 3D printing, and cloud computing. These modern ways are paving your child’s path to success. We want to make sure our parents understand educational technology as we work in an ever-changing, innovative industry.
Augmented Reality (AR)
Augmented Reality, or AR, allows users to see layers of digital information through a lens. AR technology is not to be confused with Virtual Reality (VR), as AR doesn’t produce artificial environments that replace real ones. AR is an interactive experience where objects in the real world are enhanced by computers. AR experiences need to be immersive, blending information with reality. AR-enabled devices, such as Google Glass, effortlessly allow students to explore the world without moving. Mobile games, such as Pokemon Go, incorporate AR.
3D Printing
3D printers are believed to play an important role in the design of the future. They can make STEM subjects fun and engaging for your child. The devices position your students to be creators, tapping into their imaginations. Rather than buying inventions from others, your child becomes an inventor herself. She will create solutions to other people’s problems, like a true innovator. By using 3D printing devices, your child will become a digital citizen who can solve problems and conduct insightful dialogue with her peers.
Cloud Computing
Imagine a world where your child no longer needs to lug heavy textbooks to school and will have constant access to her reading materials. All you’ll need is an internet connection. An electronic device opens the door to all of her homework and learning resources in the Cloud. This type of convenience gives your child access to her work anytime. Schools would be able to set up online learning platforms for students to log in to. No more excuses like “the dog ate my homework.” There are no dogs in the Cloud!
