While many of us may recall the crisis of losing a hand written assignment and the pain of re-doing it. Today’s students live a very different experience. Children have early access to technology in the classroom from iPads to video feeds and this past year amped it up. In our school district the students do almost all of their work on a tablet or laptop. That has been the case for much longer in Higher Ed.
The importance of audio visual (AV) technology in education should not be underestimated. There are two reasons for this; one, learning via AV creates a stimulating and interactive environment which is more engaging; and two, we live in an audio-visual age which means that having the skills to use AV equipment is integral to future employment prospects. Therefore, exposure to AV technology in education is imperative.
The most recent AV solution to hit the classroom at all levels is video-conferencing. Video conferencing has been instrumental in bridging the gap between teachers and students in this era. It has become an integral part of curriculum. Educational institutions are seeing the benefits of learning in an online space.
Some of the reasons why education flourishes with video conferencing solutions:
Video conferencing also provides early exposure to skills that students will need in future workspace as well as creating opportunities for various types of learning styles. This in turn gives educational opportunities to a greater segment of the population.
Done right, video-conferencing opens doors and keeps people connected in a purposeful and effective manner. If video conferencing is still new to you, explore your options and find what works best for your classroom.
