SEC-S19W6 | Digital Applications in Learning".

Greetings to all the teachers in the house.

It is not longer a news that as times passes, new ideas and innovations keeps coming. This is due to human curiosity to know and make life more easier and accessible. Looking at how teaching and learning activities were carried out in the past, it is clear to us that it is different from how it is done today.

Unlike some decades ago where learning and teaching activities are only carried out in the classroom together with printed materials, today we have many platforms like zoom, Google meets, telegram, and even Whatsapp where people can teach and learn from a distance. It is now easy for students and teaches to interact online.

How do you see such technological developments affecting the future of education?

Technology came onboard to make things easier and more accessible to human kind. And education isn't left out of the picture. As a matter of fact, even in the classroom, things a now done differently from the way it was done in the past. Every school now have computers and other technological accessories that enhance and promote learning.

From the look of things, I see technology transforming the future of education. We are approaching and era where physical classrooms might not have the value it has today, and even if it will continue existing, it has to be equipped with technological devices that teachers and learners can interact with for effective learning. As for those who have dreams of becoming teachers, it is advisable to catch pace with the fast growing technology in education. If not, you might end up not succeeding.

Can the Steemit platform be used as a learning application? Explain your opinion.

In my opinion, steemit has all it takes to be a learning application. As a matter of fact, I won't be wrong to say that steemit is already a learning platform. The reason is , non of us would say that we haven't learned things from the platform. We write, read, and participate in different contest. As we do that, we gain new Ideas. As for me, there is no day I don't learn something new on the steemit platform.

In my journey with steemit, I have learned how to cook variety of food, learned about crypto, people's traditions and lifestyle, recycling of waste materials, and many more. I have the believe that as time goes on, steemit platform will be better than the way it is today.

Do you think the use of digital applications can replace face-to-face learning completely?

I doubt if digital application can completely replace the face-to-face learning. Nevertheless, it will go a long way in reducing how often students and teaches meet to interact face-to-face. But looking from another angle, if the world ever find itself in a situation where social gathering is longer permitted, like in the case of the recent pandemic, then people will be left with no option than to completely embrace the online classes.

We all know that online class gained more awareness during the pandemic, and It might gain more reputation if the world ever face such situation again. If not, I can't see digital learning completely replacing face-to-face learning.

I now call on josepha, @waterjoe, and @simonnwigwe to participate.
