With Google Play For Education, Google Looks To Challenge Apple's Dominance In The Clas... - 1 views

  • Google Play for Education,
  • aims to simplify the content discovery process for schools,
  • the real key to Google’s new product is the fact that it enables administrators to distribute applications to their entire team. If a teacher wants to shoot content to a couple hundred Android devices, they simply have to type in their group’s name and voila, Google will push that sucker out to everyone on the list.

  • Teachers will now be able to search for and recommend learning content by category, grade level, and a variety of other criteria, and will have the opportunity to discover content recommended by other educators
  • mall businesses have been adopting Google’s productivity software in droves, and the interest has started to grow among school boards who want to introduce tablets into their classrooms and use Google Apps as the standard.
  • Through its Google Apps products, Google allows students and teachers to collaborate in realtime through Web apps, while using already-familiar tools like Google search and Gmail.
  •  
    Google Play for Education is not just a new search engine.  Google is poising itself to compete with Apple in the Education market.  Really like that apps can be pushed out across multiple devices with one click.

  • School classrooms are going to change
  • The cloud can also encourage independent learning.

      I still believe that the influence of an educator is vital in every student's life, and success in learning.

  • This of course means the role of the teacher will change.
  • They could be in the same room or in different countries

      Important knowledge that is gained in the classroom is learning to communicate in person. Students will learn by the teacher's example, along with their interactions with peers within the classrooms.
  • By its very nature, technology changes at a fast pace and making it accessible to pupils, teachers and other stakeholders is an ongoing challenge.

      Not every person has access to technology now days because it costs money.
  • Schools of the future could have a traditional cohort of students, as well as online only students who live across the country or even the world. Things are already starting to move this way with the emergence of massive open online courses (MOOCs).

      I feel that in the future there will be more online schools and that in the actual classroom students and teachers will be more interactive with each other.
  • the future of technology in education is the cloud.

  • Teachers can use the cloud to set, collect and grade work online. Students will have instant access to grades, comments and work via a computer, smartphone or tablet.

      This just shows all the ways the cloud can be used for teachers and even students.
  • We don't know what will be the current technology in another four. Perhaps it will be wearable devices such as Google Glass, although I suspect that tablets will still be used in education.
    • Ashleigh Clark
       
      This just shows everyone how technology is growing so fast and how it effects (or will) education and other jobs as well.

    I like this article because they argue what the future technology in education will be for the future.
