Remember what phones were like before touch screens? We don’t either, even though it wasn’t that long ago that touch screens didn’t exist. In their earlier stages touch screens were clunky at best, and who could forget trying to push extra hard on the screen in order to recognize that anything had been pressed. Much has changed since then, thankfully. These days, touch screens are ultra fast, ultra sensitive, and they’re getting better and better at recognizing motion and gesture, which will have a tremendous effect on the world of eduction in the following ways:
It’ll help with specialized training. Some jobs require fine motor skills, right down to the very fingertips. Motion recognition can help with that training in ways we could have only dreamed of a few short decades ago.
It’ll help keep students engaged. There’s a lot to be said for hands-on learning. Textbooks were all well and good, but an interactive screen that can interpret out gestures can go a long way towards keeping students engaged and interested.
It’ll help make learning fun. A big part of keeping students engaged and interested involves entertaining them, and while in the past we didn’t always approach learning with fun and games in mind, that may have to change given the reality of the world we now live in, where every manner of device is vying for the student’s attention.
