The Evolution of Ed Tech by Romil Parikh

Listening to the recent presentations and discussions on educational technology peaked my interested in the field. I found the different facets of the market quite interesting. The rapid development and change is also astounding. Looking back at my life I remember my first interaction with educational tech was through the Leap Frog handheld games and toys. As I child I was so taken with the refreshing nature of the tech product and how much fun I had playing the games. This soon progressed to SMART Boards that were used in my middle school and high school classrooms. SMART Boards were these new “cool” interactive projector boards that allowed teachers to treat the board like a projector and as a white board. They were able to draw on it with the SMART Board pens and also tap on the board to simulate other interactions.

One of the most interesting examples of Ed Tech is TED Talks. These are world famous educational talks given by individuals on a specific subject. TED Talks are different from most Ed Tech because they do not necessary focus on a topic like chemistry or math, but instead they focus on topics that affect people today. Many of these topics involve a lot of self reflection for the viewers because they are challenged to think about new unique ideas and whether to implement these ideas in their lives. These talks have become so popular that Boston College actually does it own version of a TED talk every year by having students speak to their peers on topics that seriously matter to them. 

Khan Academy is another very important form of educational technology. This is an online educational organization that was started by Salman “Sal” Khan in 2005. Sal started Khan Academy with the hopes to spread free education to people everywhere. His website allows anyone with an internet connection to learn entire courses on classroom topics. The online tutorials start off with a black screen and as Sal begins to teach her writes on the black board as though he were teaching you in real life. The website is incredibly user friendly and very interactive because users can sign up for free accounts that will allow them to track their progress within a certain subject, practice through practice problems, and leave comments in the user comments section. The team at Khan Academy is extremely proactive in responding to genuine questions and comments left within the comments section in order to help boost the learning of many of its current users. 

As the popularity of Khan Academy has grown, many institutions, such as NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, Stanford School of Medicine, The California Academy of Sciences, and Massachusetts Institution of Technology, have wanted to partner with the organization to create featured specialized content. NASA has worked with Khan Academy to produce two different series “Measuring the Universe” and “Exploring the Universe”. A 2012 Forbes article discussed that when Khan Academy had only 37 hardworking employees in 2012, the organization taught over 10 million students. Being a private NGO, it is quite difficult to determine valuation and current statistics on the company, but one thing is for certain: as the company has swelled to over 150 employees, the user base has exponentially grown.

The newest and most interesting new form of educational technology appears to be hologram lectures. A Financial Times article introduced the concept and discussed how it plans to be used by The Future of Management Education Alliance, a group of six highly ranked business schools, which include the Imperial College Business School in London, England. The concept of holographic lectures is very interesting and an extremely important development because it will actually be used as a tool to combat the growing popularity of online courses and degrees. This truly surprised me because I thought it couple be used to supplement online courses by adding an additional “Wow factor”. As the price of online education decreases and the price of in-class courses increases business schools must alter their current strategy in order to stay competitive, both price-wise and education-wise.

Insendi is an educational technology venture program offered by Imperial to help digitize the existing degree programs currently offered by Imperial’s partners from the Management Education Alliance. Insendi will be heavily developed in house and carried forward by the engineering team at Imperial. The basic holographic system was acquired from Arht Media, a Toronto-based firm. Arht’s technology is considered as the cheapest and best on the market right now because it allows holograms to be developed using a standard broadband internet connection and conventional cameras and projection equipment. Some of the most interesting pros of holographic lectures are that they will now be able to connect students from different universities around the world, have experts illustrate a process “live”, connect geographically remote classrooms either on different campuses of the same university or on different universities, and the abilities to rewatch lectures and have the same experience as seeing them live.

While I am very excited by the prospect of holographic lectures and this new technological feat there are a few things that trouble me. Will this even be appealing to students? How can students ask questions in the classroom? Using this new form of tech, will many students be willing to attend a classroom if they can project a hologram in their own living room? Will it really beat out online courses because it seems like a more expensive format? How many schools can even afford to create this type of a lecture?

Something Smells fishy

    When dealing with an issue that will affect the employment/unemployment ratio of an economy you have to handle it with care. Apart of the Society of Professional Journalism (spj) it states to report the truth, however it also says minimize harm. The first thing that I would do is report on how much we depend on the airline system. I would then address the concerns of cutting corners. I would than give a blanket statistic to show my data, but I would leave the compamny name out. My reasoning behind this comes from the steven glass case (Noer, M. (2014, November 12). Read The Original Forbes Takedown Of Stephen Glass. Retrieved September 21, 2020, from https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelnoer/2014/11/12/read-the-original-forbes-takedown-of-stephen-glass/

). While causing mass hysteria had all the incidents, reported happened he would have crippled the economy. While minimizing harms you must identify and balance the clash between a defendant’s right to a fair trial with the public’s right to know. This entity alone is a clash between the Sixth Amendment and the First Amendment.

Following this I would rally for a call to action in airline reform. Demanding that we as a people hold companies and agencies accountable. Tell people to put pressure on their local government and federal congressmen. My goal would be that the airline would see the article and make changes regarding its practices as well as a formal investigation into all airlines fuel.

           Finally I would close out with to me the most important rule and that’s holding my self accountable. Making sure I acknowledge my sources I used to research. Of course, I would keep my sure that tipped me private. I would make sure to leave a trail and or map on how to find all the information I just reported on. I would want the people to form and make there own opinions by having access to the same knowledge. My job as a journalist is to expose the consumer to facts and allow them to dig deeper and form there own ideologies.

Current Class Technologies

Most Positive : Videosharing

The rise of independent content creators on Youtube have transformed how we receive and share information. TED curator Chris Anderson referred to several YouTube contributors and asserted that "what Gutenberg did for writing, online video can now do for face-to-face communication”. It makes information and knowledge more accessible. For example, Khan Academy arose from a youtube channel that was being used to tutor the creator’s neice. The nature of representation is also more diverse - on youtube, there is more representation of People of Color (POCs) than in traditional cable channels. Independent content creators can be rewarded for sharing their skills and knowledge through new career options like Youtube partnerships. There is also an aspect of visual journalism and eyewitness video accounts that can challenge the rise of fake news and deepfakes.

Most Negative Impact Instagram:

The Instagram aesthetic is similar to the Frontline documentaries Generation Like and Growing Up Online. Destructive body goals, skinny communities, and the desire to become an Instagram baddie have warped body image and damaged the self-esteem of young people. While instagram shows the visage of a perfect life, the platform often hides the dark-side of anorexia, bulimia, and low self-esteem that pushes these creators to edit their bodies. The divide between online and offline identity has become more pronounced due to the prevalence of photoshopping. This generation must learn that, “Instagram isn’t real life" and the pressure to conform (e.g. FOMO) should never come at the cost of your self-worth.
