Learning is a transformation process that requires quite a long time. This period of change is reflected in changes in human behavior that we can observe in everyday life. Therefore, the concept of learning involves a series of changes throughout the life span, and has become increasingly popular during the COVID-19 era where all access is closed and schools are implemented online.

Education in the digital era has experienced significant changes compared to traditional models. The digital era brings changes in teaching methods, access to information, and interactions between students and teachers, all adapted to current situations and conditions in the era of modern technology.

Here are some important reasons it should be adopted in our educational systems.

Information Access

Widespread access to information in the world of education ensures that knowledge and educational resources can be accessed by all groups, regardless of geographic or economic boundaries. This opens up equal educational opportunities for all individuals. Access to information allows for a more flexible learning model.

Students can access learning materials at any time and from anywhere, according to their individual needs and learning rhythm. Students have easy access to educational resources online. They can access books, journals, videos and other learning materials from anywhere and at any time.

E-learning

E-learning has an important role in changing the educational paradigm in the current digital era and brings a number of significant benefits, one of which is enabling access to education from anywhere in the world, overcoming geographical barriers. Students and educators can connect without needing to be in the same physical location, enabling global distribution of knowledge.

The emergence of online learning platforms allows students to learn without having to be in a specific physical location. Online courses, webinars and online training are becoming popular in providing more flexible access to education.

Utilize interactive technology such as videos, simulations and interactive modules to make learning more interesting. It helps students understand concepts in a more visual and practical way.

Distance Education

Distance education has become easier to access and implement with the support of technology. Video conferencing, online learning platforms, and digital resources enable effective interaction between students and teachers without having to be in the same physical location.

Digital Skills

Students need to develop digital skills to succeed in this era. Skills such as digital literacy, the ability to search for information online, and technology skills are becoming increasingly important. Digital skills enable students to search, evaluate, and effectively use information from a variety of online sources. This supports critical information literacy skills

Digital skills open up opportunities for the expression of creativity and innovation. Students can use digital tools to create multimedia projects, presentations, or other creative content.

So, by implementing digital classrooms, all intrinsic and extrinsic elements can be achieved easily by students. Students understand better and the class atmosphere becomes more enjoyable because students directly learn what they learn verbally and then practice it directly. (Practice makes perfect). Apart from that, the goal of delivering the learning process can also be achieved easily, quickly and flexibly. The digital world makes everything easier in the learning process.

List and explain 3 gadgets (with their images) that are needed for an effective digital classroom in our educational sector.

Projector

Projectors are useful for displaying objects or data in the form of text, images or videos on a computer or laptop on a screen or wall. So, the learning process in the classroom makes the teaching and learning process more effective and efficient, learning objectives will be more easily achieved, students will more easily understand the material being presented, the classroom situation will be conducive because students' attention will be focused on the lesson material displayed on the projector screen. , and enthusiasm for learning is higher compared to the lecture method.

computer

During online schooling, students must carry out the learning process through the digital world, such as attending zoom meetings. This process requires students to have a computer so that the objectives of the learning process are achieved well and can be well received by students. Apart from that, teachers can assemble learning media in an innovative way so that it attracts students' interest and they will be more focused. Computers can also be connected to projectors so that the learning process will be more effective.

interactive whiteboard

In the past, we saw blackboards and chalk as the main media in learning process. We know that there were many shortcomings in using whiteboards in the past. Along with developments in time and technology to facilitate the learning process, interactive whiteboards were created. This is a modern whiteboard that provides many benefits. This board is also equipped with a panel layer which is easy to slide, making it easier for teachers to connect it to a computer.

In this way, the teacher does not need to be busy erasing parts of the board that are already full. Apart from that, this whiteboard is also equipped with various interesting features, such as being able to add highlights to text, add annotations, show images and videos easily, etc.
