A strong wave of innovation is sweeping education, and teachers’ roles must be redefined. The 2025 introduction of AI digital textbooks will be a challenge and opportunity. AI courseware, educational software based on AI, tailors learning to each learner’s level, preferences, and progress. Teachers can select what suits their subjects and students and monitor progress in real time, enabling effective instruction. It is time for teachers and students to become familiar with this essential future
In Unit 1, the book introduces various examples of using the metaverse and explains how to create them. Over the past few years, I have also worked with ZEP, Gather Town, CoSpaces, Spot, and similar tools, but I feel it has been rare to teach through concrete examples like these. This unit made me think more specifically about how to use them in class. Unit 2 got me thinking about how to share students' individual work or use team activities through teaching and learning automation programs.
It seems helpful for teachers to have friendly explanations and examples of authoring tools, making classroom tools, and using automation programs. Though described as being for teachers, I think it can help anyone working in education.
This practical edtech book introduces existing services and how to use them. It also shows teachers how to make educational materials themselves with VBA or Google Apps Script, beyond using existing services. It gives specific instructions for elementary teachers applying edtech services in class, which seems helpful.
The author's description of this as an era of high technology and hyperconnectivity, beyond edtech, really resonated with me. These days, people tend to attach words like artificial intelligence, AI, and edtech to everything, but when you look at the actual content, a lot of it doesn't qualify. This book, though, really does deserve to be called high-tech edtech.
Kim Byeong-nam et al.: Practical Applications of High-Tech, EdTech, and Future Education
Key topics include making high-tech programs that students enjoy more than teachers; creating three automation programs that greatly cut teachers’ time preparing teaching materials; creating three participatory classroom tools with high student engagement and satisfaction; and practical subject-by-subject uses of AI courseware.
