New Trends in Educational Technology


After completing his law degree at Georgetown University Law Center, Yuri Calderon represented governmental entities such as school districts and community colleges. In line with his practice, Yuri Calderon follows educational issues, such as the integration of technology to advance education.

The education sector recognizes the influence of modern technology in instruction. In 2014 alone, educational technology saw an increase of 55 percent in funding. The modernization of classroom instruction resulted in the following educational technology trends:

Flipped learning - Students can learn their lessons outside of classroom settings, through online-based classroom technology. Students learn from video lectures and online content, increasing engagement outside the school environment.

Gamification - This concept makes classroom activities more engaging by applying typical game systems to learning tasks. Educators challenge students and reward them, giving positive learning experiences.

Digital textbooks - Replacing traditional textbooks, multiple digital resources can be downloaded into tablets or computers. Digital textbooks are less expensive as well, and resources can be updated instantly to include new information.
