Programming for data science and machine learning - if you have stats and a lot of data to crunch, you can't ignore the benefits of using programming languages and their libraries, such as those for Python, to help with getting the information
•
MetaVerse - despite what it currently seems the main purposesof VR is for, the potential for education is quite big. At the very least, it helps with visualisation, re-enactments, those with special needs, and creative thinking
•
ChatGPT - despite what is said in the media regarding its effects on education, I consider it a great tool for planning, research, and summarising findings. Sure, it defeats the point in writing essays if you did everything with ChatGPT, but then again you're not exactly going to write many essays in the world of work if you use AI effectively.
•
Microsoft Office - I don't know how innovative is "innovative" for the context of this debate, but basic Office tools should already be used to enhance learning e.g. I wouldn't do stats homework without using Excel; using PowerPoint is often better than drawing ideas on a board; I wouldn't analyse various different economic scenarios using anything other than a spreadsheet - too many cumbersome calculations to do
•
Maths problem solving apps - in th future, it's not about you doing the calculations or maths, it's about the computer doing it for you at a fraction of the time you put your pen onto paper.
•
Digital art and music - whilst I am not saying the traditional mediums of producing art and music aren't great, the digital versions can produce significantly more variations and ideas in the fraction of the time of an artist in producing one piece. In the future, if artists are to stand out, their work need to go beyond just being nice to look at or listen to - because the digital versions can often outdo the traditional versions; there needs to be substance.
•
AI art - this is something that recently emerged in the AI landscape. This in itself is an artform, and the art lies in how to enter the right prompts to get the sort of results that you want. I can see how music can later adopt something similiar if the technology is good enough.
•
Film production - it shouldn't be an excuse anymore that you need expensive equipment to produce a piece of film when you have most of the necessary technology in a smartphone. Sounds, editing, music, etc. can also be edited using the phone, albeit to an extent although I can see this changing with more technologically advanced phones coming out
•
Lanaguages - be it programming or modern languages, translation tools are abundant although many with their own inaccuracies. Without sounding like a futurist, we should expect to see translation tools being used in real time conversations in the near future, very likely using phones and portable tech. Education should accommodate the technology in its teaching.
•
Design technology and graphics design - AutoCAD has been around for a few decades, and with the rise of AI, design using computers should be more and more mainstream.
•
Sports - although tech isn't something that is commonly associated with sports, I recommend using tablets/phones to record matches and practice sessions so players can review their strategies and forms; it's very difficult to review what you did in first person just from memory.
•
Any subjects that uses a lot of books - it makes significantly more sense to offer access to ebooks as opposed to using hard copies. For one, it's significantly more economical; second you save space; third, it saves you getting new versions of the book. Sure, it doesn't feel the same as holding an actual book, but you can't argue with the economics
•
Using legos and tech in physics and engineering lessons - it has been around for a few decades, but not many schools have this and many still rely on traditional teaching methods and abstract thinking.
