Prediction Time: 6 Technologies Likely to Impact Education in 2015 by liveyourlife: 4:21pm On Dec 11, 2014
From the computer to the iPad, technology is revolutionizing how we work, play, socialize, and learn (sometimes all at once). In celebration of Computer Science Education Week, here are my tots on the matter.

1. Tablet computers: We all know how this has played a big role in adoption of computer devices this year. Every Mary, Amaka, Okafor and his neighbour no matter how not-well-todo is using a tablet. From the Introduction of the Opon-Imo (knowledge tablet) in Osun, we will see more of tablets in school used to deliver content and what have you.

I heard students were also using it for "forbidables" i.e #pornn

2. OCR: This means "optical character recognition". Remember when you scan a document, this is how the computer tries to recognize the words on the scanned doc picture.

Now remember when u snap Dorcas's note in class to copy it later. Imagine if you could just recognise the characters, copy and paste and print or save in your phone for later! It is possible!

3. Smart Watches: People in my school eh, fear them oh. Since they said don't carry ochuko or your phone into the hall, did they say don't carry your good ol' watch?

Smart guys are already using it like a phone on the wrist. Who says everything can't be used for good or bad #expo (but na punishment for dat kind small screen oh!)

4. Smart Communication Tools: Teachers are beginning to see the need to keep in touch with students out of the classroom in order to better achieve goals like assignments, making sure materials gets to all the class students, answering questions e.t.c

If this is not the case, then explain to me why has grown 120% within the last week!

5. E-examinations: Since I did CSC 112 in 100level, my lecturer (The school director of ICT) has been threatening us that very soon, we will start using the Internet for exams.

That was his business. E-exam must go with e-cheating for me, case no dey.

But if you are going to write jamb next year, I laugh at you in tongues. Because that extra-serious Jamb Registrar has warned that "any candidate not proficient in use of ICT should forget jamb". Am I lying? Google it!!!


6. Ah I forgot to mention it. The mother of them all - The Internet:

Make way for those who use Google in the exam hall. They can explain this better.


So breathen-in-class,



Close with this:
“The job of a teacher is not to deliver information. It is to guide the
social process of learning. The job of a teacher is to inspire, to
challenge, to excite their students to want to learn.” - Join us. Get on [url=http://][/url]
