"SEC-S19W6 | Digital Applications in Learning".
Currently, the era we are in today is the era of technology which is the fastest way to get things done. In our education system technology is being used to make teaching and learning easy and understandable for both students and teachers. The four types of technologies which are been used for academic purposes are significantly transforming the future of our educational system in many ways.
How do you see such technological developments affecting the future of education?

I see such technological development as a way that is significantly transforming the future of education in many different ways such as:
Personalised learning:
These Technologies are used for personalized education experiences and tailored to individual student preferences, places, and needs.Accessibility and Inclusion:
These technologies are used to make education more accessible to people regardless of location, socioeconomic status, and so on. This Technology like Google Classroom provides students with access to online courses, and virtual classrooms which also bridges the education gap.
In summary, these technologies have the potential to transform and make the education system more effective, equitable, and flow (aligned) with the needs of what is required in the future. However, technological development can affect the future of education if traditional education is completely scrubbed out.
Can the Steemit platform be used as a learning application? Explain your opinion.
 |
|---|
Yes, the Steemit platform can be used as a learning application which we all have been learning from. Take, for example, the Steemit Crypto Academy and the Teaching Teams which are purely designed for learning. Due to the diverse content and community engagement, that is on the Steemit platform it is easy to find more reliable educational resources for learning.
The reasons why the Steemit platform can be used as a learning application are as follows:
Access to diverse contents
The Steemit platform hosts a wide range of content on different topics such as science, technology, blockchain, foods, arts, finance, lifestyle, and vast educational content, which students can learn by reading content published by Steemians, engaging in discussion, and following experts to learn more.Incentivized Learning:
The Steemit platform encourages users to share quality content, which is a way of encouraging users to post high-quality educational content in the Steemit platform that would encourage people to learn and contribute their wealth of knowledge.Community Interaction:
The Steemit platform is community oriented which students can use the platform to engage with other students and teachers to learn more. Questions and answers can be shared as peer-to-peer learning is valuable in the education system.
There are users on the Steemit platform who are using the platform to educate and teach others through the creation of videos and written content for people to learn from. Finally, the Steemit platform is a place for learning and development which students can learn from.
Do you think the use of digital applications can replace face-to-face learning completely?

I don't think the use of digital applications can replace face-to-face learning completely because face-to-face learning encourages social interaction, and hand experience and it helps teach to know the challenges of students. Although digital applications are making learning more accessible and creating access to more resources, they still have not replaced face-to-face learning completely as each of the methods of learning has its merit and demerits.
As we earlier mentioned that face to face learning provides us with the following:
Social interaction:
This helps to encourage collaboration, social skills, and communication in the classroom.Immediate feedback:
This helps the teacher to know if his or her students have understood what has been discussed in the classroom, and if there is any issue it can be addressed immediately.
Even though digital application offers the flexibility they still cannot replace face-to-face learning because when it comes to learning direct interaction, and hand-to-hand activities are important. To make our education system better both can be combined.

I was not fortunate to avail this service during my student years but later when the internet was available to us I took full advantage of digital learning through various sources. Now every thing including higher learning is in our easy reach.
And the advantages which you took are what is helping you today.
Dear @josepha your points are valid to support face to face learning. I have also mentioned in my post that face to face learning offer instant feedback and live communication which is not possible in the online learning system.
And the Steemit platform can be a good platform for the learning because of it's rewarding feature to the students but there is the need of a proper system for the learning.
Thanks for your support.
You are welcome 🤗
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Great entry my friend. You nailed it in this post and of course I agree with you on your take that digital learning via apps cannot completely take the place of face to face learning. I wish you the very best bro.
Thank you so much for your support
Saludos amigo.
Efectivamente también estoy de acuerdo que ya Steemit es una plataforma de aprendizaje, aquí podemos encontrar muchos artículos que resultan de enseñanza, y como bien mencionas ya hay antecedentes de UE aquí podemos aprender muchísimo como en la criptoacademia y ahora con estos grupos de enseñanza que han Sido de gran impacto para la producción de post de calidad.
Y por supuesto que jamás estás aplicaciones podrán sustituir el aprendizaje guiado y presencial. Porqué la interacción entre maestros-estudiantes y estudiantes- estudiantes es de gran importancia para las relaciones sociales que debe existir en todos los ámbitos.
Excelente participación
Mucha suerte
