The fourth industrial revolution has arrived bringing a new digital era. The field of education is not an exception. Innovative tech executives now are inviting educational institutions and communities to join “Education 4.0”.
In Spain, the Madrid Interprofessional Union has highlighted the advantages of digitization for management, communication and interaction of various educational stakeholders: managers, teachers and parents.
With the high penetration of smartphones into every aspect of our lives in the past years, experts stress the importance of a Mobile First strategy, which emphasizes the work to build a powerful digital presence for school in order to improve reach and respond in a more personalized way to the educational community. “The strategies to address the digital gap reduction are meant to gain a foothold in the mobile of the members as soon as possible through apps, with the aim of strengthening internal communication” said Lextrend Company’s CEO Manuel Casuco.
In Mexico’s educational system, a “National Digital Strategy” was applied in 2013. It prompted file scanning for document management from the cloud, and more and more public and private schools of all levels to integrate technology into teaching and internal management processes.
In Argentina, there is opportunity to discuss how education is changing and the opportunities and challenges that new technologies pose to multiples institutions. At the meeting “The role of technology in the Digital Era”, organized by Google Argentina, which brought together specialists, administrators, managers and teachers from more than 50 educational institutions, the call to digitization for both classroom and communications was reiterated. The challenge is to effectively implement this change, that aims to promote the use of new technologies, to improve the mode of learning and access to information and the ability to handle new forms and processes. In the light of this, the Ministry of Education, through the New School System Program, is strengthening the capacity to process, analyze and use information through a national system that promotes digital document management to facilitate decision-making and stakeholder participation.
What’s left is to get schools and parents to support the technological changes which will certainly provide new generations with more opportunities to respond to the globalized and almost 100% digital era.
