SVC2UK, Silicon Valley Comes to the UK, has released a report about the impact of technology on the education industry:
Technology has started radically changing the lives of those in and dedicated to education, but the transformation has only just begun. This white paper explores, and explains what the future is likely to look like for teachers and students, and examine what the implications might be for institutions currently involved in the industry. The good news is that there will be massive improvement in the lives os students, teachers and parents. The bad news is that people in the institutions that have shaped this industry historically will be left behind if they do not help their organizations adapt; as there are new entrants waiting in the wings with products that are fundamentally better at serving the interests of the customers. A revolution awaits.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
