7 ICT Educational Trends In 2020
Many people say that the future is now. In fact, the UN has described this year as the technological leap, since global spending for digital transformation will grow 40% compared to 2019. Hence, from a training point of view, it is so important to know the new trends ICT education by 2020.
This year 2020, as parents, teachers and educators we have to face a change in information and communication technology much greater than in previous stages, since the time has come to establish and learn new tools that, more than trends or fashions, they begin to be realities.
2020, the year of the establishment of the most anticipated ICT educational trends
As we have said, according to the UN, this 2020 is the year of the technological leap. Hence, the definitive application of educational trends with which we have been working for a long time is so long awaited.
In this sense, let’s see the most important ones that are ready to revolutionize the classrooms of our schools and institutes.
5G networks
Beyond the international controversy that has surrounded this technology, its media coverage is justified. And, thanks to 5G networks, connections will be faster and students and institutions have it easier than ever to have high connectivity.
Now, with 5G networks, the immediacy of results is improved, in distance and adaptive learning through mobile, and in XR learning.
Blockchain
Beyond cryptocurrencies and the famous bitcoin, blockhain , that is, the blockchains that support these technologies have very powerful applications in various fields, including education.
2020 is the year in which blockchain technology makes the leap in its application to the protection of intellectual property, the administration of goods and services and food safety. All of them are contexts that will be applied, in the same way, to educational centers according to their pedagogical objectives.
Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence adds to cybersecurity also appear strongly in educational systems associated with ICTs to increase speed, improve the scope of data analytics, enhance 5G technology and improve students’ knowledge of digital literacy.
Privacy and digital ethics
A serious problem that many parents and educators find in their children is that of setting limits. In the online world, many children and young people do not understand their responsibility to safeguard their personal privacy and act ethically.
Therefore, this year new resources will be implemented to improve information literacy. In this way, good practices will be taught to students so that they act with digital ethics and know how to safeguard their private plot.
Hyperautomation
It is a combination of multiple and autonomous learning. To do this, it uses software tools to automate digital processes, which set a trend in the use of Artificial Intelligence to analyze, design and manage, providing adequate development for the use of ICTs.
Edge computing
The edge computing is defined as a location that offered technological services. It is like a kind of hybrid cloud that is accessible online to combine public services that are managed by third parties or public or private entities.
It allows the use of technologies, virtual reality and the internet of things, and will be boosted by the implementation of 5G, which will accelerate data transfers.
Machine learning
Machine learning , a discipline of science derived from artificial intelligence, also takes on special relevance . It consists of the creation of systems that, automatically and autonomously, learn by identifying patterns between big data and large amounts of data.
To do this, they use algorithms that predict future behaviors, that is, adaptive learning. Therefore, the educational world will benefit from the speed of web traffic and the best connections.
We already know these 7 ICT educational trends for 2020 that will give a lot to talk about this year and in the years to come. It is important to be up to date to accept and adapt to what is to come, which is a lot and positive.
