Social Media/Blogs: How is New Media technologies affecting education and learning development?
For my
project, I will be discussing how New Media technologies are affecting education
and learning develop. Today, there’s a surge of individuals turning to social
media platforms, and even blogs to acquire knowledge and skills. My paper will
explore the scope of e-learning, how many people that are turning to online
platforms to learn vs. traditional classrooms. In addition, the benefits and
negative aspects of both methods. Technology is becoming more advance and
powerful each day; how many individuals are truly utilizing their resources? I
want to focus on the educational, technological, and sociological perspectives. Technology
seems to be replacing so many aspects of our society. I want to understand how normal individuals feel about this and their thoughts on the new changes, embracing or not accepting it? I plan to dive deeper
into these thoughts and understand what’s beneath the surface of the new
technology wave.
I took a small glimpse of research into how my researched technology, Virtual Reality, would affect education in the near and distant future and I would have to agree with your sentiments. With technology replacing so many processes, we need to be able to take a step back and evaluate if technology really is the solution for every problem that we face on a daily basis. Based off my small research, I'd be more inclined towards the idea that technology is a net positive addition to education such as e-learning and other platforms. But it would be interesting to see the findings of your research.
