Robots in the school
Most developed countries now use technological innovations. According to statistics, in Canadian schools, about 50% of the teaching time allocated to work with gadgets, is spent on research and homework. Somewhere 30% - to study programs and 20% - to educational games.
Electronic textbooks no longer surprise anyone. Apple has developed a project iTunes University to listen to online lectures from the most ranked universities. Mobile application Study Blue helps students to exchange information, get homework and schedule.
There are other inventions for schoolchildren and teachers.
Robot VGo came up with the idea that he would attend classes instead of a sick child. He communicates what he saw and heard to his master. A robot can move from class to class and even communicate with friends. Such a device recently defended the turn of the new iPhone.
In Korea, they went the other way: they "put" the teacher in the robot. So they teach English. A teacher from the US teaches Korean students directly from America.
Interactive boards develop several technological giants. Samsung has created a board that can connect directly to several smartphones and even makes writing paper as the additional feature (in the hands of students). The teacher works with the board and simultaneously with the screens of the students - sends them buildings and checks them.
Some developers have taken a step forward and are working on creating an interactive desk - with access to the Internet, different displays, and a functional menu.
To combine the processes of computer typing and writing by hand, invented the Recorder Pen - a pen that turns to handwrite into print.
Just 15 years ago, a picky teacher could easily complicate life - it is enough to make one edit on each sheet of the essay, and the student had to rewrite everything from beginning to end. Now the abstracts are stored on a computer disk and printed out in a minute. The teacher has to look for new ways - for example, to be objective. But the student will not say that there is no homework because the dog tore the notebooks.
