8 Ways Technology Is Improving Education

1. Better simulations and models
Digital simulations and models can help teachers explain concepts that are too big or too small, or processes thathappen too quickly or too slowly to demonstrate in a physical classroom.
The Concord Consortium is developing a simulations include a software that allows students to experiment with virtualgreenhouses in order to understand evolution, a software that helps students understand the physics of energy efficiency by designing a model house, and simulations of how electrons interact with matter.
2.Global learning
At some sites students can set up language lessons with a native speaker who lives in another country and attend the lessons via videoconferencing. Learning from a native speaker,learning through social interaction, are all incredible educational advantages that were once only available to those who could foot a travel bill. Now, setting up a language exchange is as easy asmaking a videoconferencing call.
3. Virtual Manipulates
Your teacher could have you draw graphs or do a series of problems that changes just one variable in the same equation. Or he could give youa “virtual manipulative” and let you experiment with equations to reach an understanding of the relationship. 
4. Probes and sensors
Collecting real-time data through probes and sensors has awide range of educational applications. Students can compute dew point with a temperature sensor, test pH with a pH probe, observe the effect of pH on a MnO3 reduction with a light probe, or note thechemical changes in photosynthesis using pH and nitrate sensors.
5. More efficient assessment
Models and simulations, beyond being a powerful tool for teaching concepts, can also give teachers amuch richer picture of how students understand them.
6. Epistemic games
Epistemic games put students in roles like city planner, journalist, or engineer and ask them to solve real-world...
