According to {the latest|the newest|the most recent} {data|knowledge|information}, video for {homework|prep|preparation|school assignment|schoolwork} is on the rise; mobile computing is "beyond the tipping point"; and {most kids|most youngsters|most children} {don't|do not} use {traditional|ancient} computers {to connect|to attach} to {the internet|the web|the net} {at home|reception}. Those {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {just|simply} {three|3} of {the major|the main|the most important|the key|the foremost} trends {revealed|discovered|disclosed|unconcealed} {in the|within the} 2013 Speak Up Survey from Project Tomorrow, {which|that} {ceo|chief executive officer|CEO|chief operating officer|corporate executive|business executive} Julie Evans {revealed|discovered|disclosed|unconcealed} at the FETC 2014 conference last week.
The 2013 results represent {more than|quite|over} {400|four hundred},000 surveys from {9|nine},000 {schools|faculties|colleges} {and 2|and a couple of|and a pair of},700 districts across the country. Respondents {included|enclosed} 325,279 students, 32,151 {teachers|academics|lecturers} and librarians, 39,986 {parents|folks|oldsters}, 4,530 district {administrators|directors} and, {new to|new|unaccustomed} this year’s survey, 1,346 community members.
1. Personal Access to Mobile Devices
According to the 2013 results, students {overwhelmingly|overpoweringly|irresistibly} have access {to personal|to non-public|to private} mobile devices. “If there was any doubt in our mind that {we|we have a tendency to|we tend to} were {beyond|on the far side} the tipping {point|purpose} in terms {of kids|of youngsters|of children} carrying a {computer|pc|laptop} in their pocket, backpack or purse,” she said, “we’re there.”
Specifically, said Evans, {89|eighty nine} {percent|%|p.c} of high {schools|faculties|colleges} students have access to Internet-connected {smart|sensible|good} phones, {while|whereas} {50|fifty} {percent|%|p.c} {of students|of scholars} in grades {3|three} through {5|five} have access to {the same|an equivalent|a similar|identical|constant} {type of|sort of|kind of|style of|variety of|form of} devices. {high school|highschool} student access to tablets {tops|ace|A-one|crack|first-rate|super|tiptop|topnotch|superior} out at {50|fifty} {percent|%|p.c} and laptops {come in|are available|are available in} at {60|sixty} {percent|%|p.c}. {in addition|additionally} {to personal|to non-public|to private} access, the survey found {about a|a few|a couple of} third {of students|of scholars} have access to {a device|a tool} (typically laptops or tablets) in their {school|faculty|college}.
2. {internet|web|net} {connectivity|property}
For Evans, this was {an interesting|a stimulating|a motivating|a remarkable|a noteworthy} set of statistics showing the {ways|ways that|ways in which} students {generally|usually|typically} {connect to|hook up with|connect with} {the internet|the web|the net} {when|once} {at home|reception}. {according to|consistent with|in keeping with|in line with|in step with|per} the study, {64|sixty four} {percent|%|p.c} {of students|of scholars} surveyed {identify|determine|establish} 3G- or 4G-enabled devices as their primary {means|suggests that|means that} of connecting to {the internet|the web|the net}, with {an|Associate in Nursing|AN|associate degree|associate}other {23|twenty three} {percent|%|p.c} {saying|expression|locution|speech|speech communication|spoken communication|spoken language|language|voice communication|oral communication} they connect through an Internet-enabled TV or Wii console. {when|once} asked why {traditional|ancient} broadband access wasn’t their primary {means|suggests that|means that} of {connectivity|property}, students {said|aforesaid|aforementioned|same} there was less {contention|rivalry|competition} for access with {other|different|alternative} members of the family through these non-traditional devices.
3. Use of Video for Classwork and {homework|prep|preparation|school assignment|schoolwork}
Video is another tool that has been on {the rise|the increase} in recent years. {while|whereas} her presentation {focused|targeted|centered} on students, Evans noted that {46|forty six} {percent|%|p.c} of {teachers|academics|lecturers} {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {using|exploitation|victimization|victimisation|mistreatment} video in {in the|within the} {classroom|schoolroom|room}.
One-third {of students|of scholars} {are|ar|area unit|square measure} accessing video {online|on-line} — through their own initiative — {to help|to assist} with their {homework|prep|preparation|school assignment|schoolwork}. Evans {called|referred to as|known as} this the “Khan Academy {effect|result|impact}.” {additionally|in addition|to boot}, {23|twenty three} {percent|%|p.c} {of students|of scholars} {are|ar|area unit|square measure} accessing video created by their {teachers|academics|lecturers}.
4. Mobile Devices for {schoolwork|school assignment|assignment}
According to the 2013 results, students {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {leveraging|leverage|investing|investment} mobile devices {both|each} to be {more|additional|a lot of} {efficient|economical} in their {day-to-day|daily|day-after-day|every day|regular} tasks and {to transform|to rework|to remodel} their own learning processes.
Sixty {percent|%|p.c} {of students|of scholars} {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {using|exploitation|victimization|victimisation|mistreatment} mobile devices for anytime {research|analysis}, {43|forty three} {percent|%|p.c} for {educational|instructional|academic} games and {40|forty} {percent|%|p.c} for collaboration with their peers. {thirty-three|33|xxxiii|cardinal} {percent|%|p.c} {of students|of scholars} surveyed use mobile devices for reminders and alerts {related to|regarding|relating to|concerning|involving} their {academic|educational|tutorial} lives, {24|twenty four} {percent|%|p.c} for taking photos of their assignments, and {18|eighteen} {percent|%|p.c} for in-class polling.
Surprisingly, said Evans, {12|twelve} {percent|%|p.c} of {the students|the scholars} responding {said|aforesaid|aforementioned|same} they use mobile devices to text {questions to|inquiries to} their instructors {while|whereas} {in the|within the} {classroom|schoolroom|room}. “I do {wonder|marvel|surprise},” she {added|added |accessorial|additional|further|more|adscititious|another|additional|else|additional|extra|other|additional|intercalary|side|superimposed|supplementary|supplemental|additional|value-added}, “how {many|several} of the {teachers|academics|lecturers} {are|ar|area unit|square measure} responding to those texts.”
5. {using|exploitation|victimization|victimisation|mistreatment} {different|totally different|completely different} Tools {for different|for various} Tasks
Evans admitted, with the proliferation of {so many|numerous|such a big amount of|such a large amount of|such a lot of} tools, it isn’t {surprising|shocking|stunning} students {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {designing|planning|coming up with} “best-fit” solutions {for their|for his or her} {very|terribly} specific {needs|wants|desires}.
Rather than {using|exploitation|victimization|victimisation|mistreatment} one {or even|or maybe|or perhaps} {a few|a couple of|a number of|some|many} platforms for {various|numerous|varied} tasks, students {are|ar|area unit|square measure} {increasingly|progressively|more and more} savvy {about|concerning|regarding} taking advantage of {the benefits|the advantages|the advantages} of the tools {available|out there|on the market|obtainable|accessible|offered}.
