Reinventing Learning Environment Using Innovative Technological Practice in the ‘New Normal’

Jennifer R. Manucom

Education is no longer limited to the classroom. Technology has provided the prospect of being interested in the learning experience in areas that were impossible only a few years earlier. Links to educational content and collaboration platforms ensures that students can now participate in learning discussions anytime and wherever they choose. This brings up the idea of what learning looks like and how we can better use the space and tools around us.

Ongoing, accessible access to information through modular distance learning enables teachers to reinvent the role of homework, which has historically become an incentive for students to learn learning skills and enhance their knowledge. However, we should now consider a good application of homeschooling. There are also lessons in the classroom that can be carried out almost as conveniently at home-what some schools term a 'flipped learning' strategy.

We need to be responsible for tracking and monitoring the effect of what we are doing. Students require daily, consistent guidance so that they stay inspired and optimistic in ways to change. It is also critical for us, as teachers, to be able to recognize what is working and what is not. We all know that every class is distinct, and we can see that the way they react to the instruction. If we can see, for example, when a given practice yield benefits from greater interaction and higher scores, then we can reflect on the methodology and enrich it further.

Providing the optimal learning experience for students and teachers is a vital step in encouraging them to achieve the best possible results. New technologies have had an impact on all facets of our everyday lives and have greatly enhanced the way we communicate and function together. The very next move on this quest is one of reshaping as we move back and evaluate what is extremely crucial and how best to do it.
